HiHi, Let's see the new car from Honda Japan Website:

www.honda.co.jp to look for a new car called Freed.

It is a new car developed from Jazz chassis but can carry 8 passages. It looks like a mini version of stepwagon. Alnd most important is that it use the same engine with Fit (1.5 litre SOHC). It implies that it has high chance can have a tax reduction if introduced to HK. If it is really introduced to HK, it has enough power to KO corolla !

Will u so naive to think that u will use such a car to carry 8 passanger everyday?? Everyone knows the rear row of seat is a apare seat only for u to carry passenger in some special occasion eg. after party or drive for lunch with colleagues etc.
Why compare to Corolla because (1) use same 1.5L engine and same annual license fee (2) The car is shorter than Corolla means that it is easier to turn with a smaller radius; (3) The car is equiped with sliding door means that it will be more easy to get on/off the car in narrow spaces car park (4) The height of the car is taller than Corolla means a little bit more headroom to the middle row passenger (5) The flxible pattern of seat arrangment means that it can becomes a minivan if u need more spaces for load which Corolla could not.

If u want to buy a 1.5L car for family use, Will u still think Corolla is the only first choice if Freed carries the above advantages and set the price similar to Corolla?

Freed can KO Corolla means that Freed challanges Corolla  the leading place of Best selling 1.5L family car, WHO SAID THAT 1.5L FAMILY CAR MUST BE A SEDAN?? WHICH DICTIONARY STATED THE DEFINITION LIKE THIS??
