Within weeks of launching the all new Honda city in Thailand, I got a chance to drive the car extensively through various kinds of traffic scenarios in India. The Honda FCX derived looks with a horizontal grille stacked between huge, striking headlamps dominate the front. The latest variant has a racy appeal; Honda refers to the design as ‘Arrow Shot Form!’ The relatively long bonnet swoops up at an angle giving a better front on look than the earlier cab-forward design. BMW esque tail lamps complete the package with a rather short stubby boot. Longer and wider by 5mm than the outgoing model, it maintains the same ground clearance even though the car’s height has been lowered by 15mm. In effect, this leads to a sleeker and sturdier body shape. The wheelbase has been extended by an additional 100mm translating to a spacious interior. This car has a lot of potential to be drool tool.
The Honda city conjures up a vision of a car that’s fast, agile, fuel efficient and fun. With over a hundred horses to play around with, the first generation model was the fastest car available this side of the Ford Mondeo petrol. As the year 2003 drew to an end, Honda launched a new city. Hopes of a better car were shattered. Auto enthusiasts were disappointed and we all cribbed about the fact that Honda had replaced the potent vehicle with one that churned out only 77bhp. Nonetheless, the second model made sense for India. The interiors were a huge step forward, the engine a boon during traffic and fuel economy remained as good as ever. A fun car was replaced by a practical one and the sales chart soared higher, and higher. The 100bhp V-tech was launched to satisfy those who still dreamt of the old city but that too felt like a mule.
