nice link. here's what it says about the engine

"discarded the i-DSI technology in favour of i-VTEC and delivers the superior low-rpm torque of its predecessor along with a lot more power in the high rpm range, as well as enhanced fuel economy in everyday driving."

if all those tall claims are true, the new car will have as handle traffic as smooth as the old one while thrilling us on highways. And all this while providing a better fuel efficiency than already famed current City.

Found something interesting in that link.

If you notice the cam lift/duration diagrams, the non vtec cam lift of the 1.3 seems to be less than 25% of it's vtec cam lift where as the 1.5 ltr engine has a non vtec cam lift of close to 80-85% of it's vtec came lift.

Is that a mistake? How can an engine function properly if there is such a huge diff in the cam profiles?

I didn't understand the funda behind this wierd cam design.

Silver sure looks great. Isnt it surprising that the China spy pics had a white car with a probable sun roof whereas the one launched in Thailand hasnt got either a white shade or a sunroof.

Its only on one valve, the other remains open. Switches to 12V at part load.

Just came across the video of the New City.Here s the link:-

YouTube - The Journey of City (YouTube Edition)

The Modulo Version of the New City looks neat!!! Especially with a chrome grille!

It seems the AHC launched in Thailand does not come with a CD player according to this first-look report. Of course it may not be the case when it is launched in India.

Another nice touch is the iPod compatible USB connector. Although the Jazz already has this, the City has a very nicely integrated system. The display section of the audio system is hinged, opening to reveal a short USB cable which will accept your iPod cable. There is a little felt-lined compartment for your iPod. Once installed, you can control your iPod via the car's audio system.

The City doesn't have a CD player, so you need an iPod, or other compatible MP3 player to take your songs with you. Still, it's nicely done.

@karan: Brilliant find. The car looks a stunner in black.

I am sure India launch will be diff than the launch in Th. it was tucked up in 5 floor when the whole 3rd floor and 4th floor have hummers, lotus, lambo, spyker and whatever niche you can name parked in them. did click the some pics there...will post in a few minutes

pls ignore the smiley on top... came by error. city looks good but Jazz is the real thing

[naturaldisaster]

sorry to say, i just didnt like the interior. has a real civic wannabe feel to it. the outside is really cool.

What's with the Modulo model? Different variant? Grill is different but unsure if it looks better than the huge plastic thing on the 'normal' model.
