Honda seems to be repositioning the City slightly higher compared to last year (or the year before). I'll bet this has something to do with the Jazz. They have a Jazz 1.2, which at 8.5L seems overpriced to most of us. They need to create room for the Jazz 1.5 MT and AT. Honda knows for sure that a hatchback (however large it maybe) cannot sell alongside a sedan if the prices overlap. So instead of selling Jazz cheaper, they are making the City more expensive.
Absolutely right.
That is their strategy and this time am hoping indian car buyers can see how it is but then history is definitely in favor of honda.

Why am i not surpised?
When ANHC was launched most people here anticipated such a facelift later on and so here it is with things which should had been there in first place being given in the name of 'facelift'.

Is AT really discontinued?
I don't think honda will like to do that.

Yes, the S-AT is discontinued. Instead they are launching V-AT.

The city V is seen in this pic. Note the new alloy wheels and chrome door handles on the city next to jazz. This is how the car will look like.

I wonder if discontinuing City S-AT is a stupid move by Honda.
It's rumored that Linea 1.6MJD is coming in AT option first, wouldn't that be a much better option for buyers (if it does come)?

If Honda thinks Civic owners are chauffered, then they need not have given the cruise control either.

And if they value the rear seat passengers, they should have sorted out the suspension issue to sort the bouncy ride part.

They are just finding reasons for the excluded features.
