| small is in: The Honda Fit subcompact is currently its smallest car |
Honda Motor Co President Takeo Fukui said the Japanese car-maker plans to launch a very small car in Europe as well as emerging countries such as China and India in the early 2010.
"We are developing a small car that would be even smaller than the Fit subcompact," he said.
The engine displacement for the four or five-seat car would be less than 1 litre, against 1.3 litres for the smallest version of the Fit subcompact series.
Fukui said the very small car would be difficult to sell in Japan where mini-vehicles with the engine displacement of up to 660 cc have been available for tax incentives.
