Partly a by-product of the orange man in US, withdrawal of incentives and imposition of tariffs. Not good for dealers here in the long run in conjunction with another cost of living jump and consumer belt tighten.

Partly due to bad decisions, the Jazz Mk4 is the best selling Honda here but they don't sell it in the USA!. They spent loads on the new 'O' series which doesn't appear popular and has apparently been dropped.

Does not surprise me. Honda's current range in my opinion is pretty poor, particularly so for Europe.
The EYN1 is far behind most manufacturers offerings and the Jazz, HR-V, CR-V and ZR-V are also starting to fall behind in many areas and huge sums wasted on the now dropped 0 series of EV's
They also need to sack their styling department and have a refresh.
I've had 5 Honda's over my driving life, but there is nothing in the range that I would be excited about to make me get a 6th.
Whilst the Jazz has proved to be a solid buy for me, it's beginning to get me thinking if to keep, sell or replace. However when I look at the price, I can easily buy a Renault 4 or Hyundai Inster for significantly less( Both with more than enough range for my usual short trips)
If Honda can't inspire current owners to remain with the brand, it does not look good for them.

This article says it all, especially the lack of focus on the European markets https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/honda/2026-financial-results/

This is news of a new Toyota Yaris which is the Mk4 Jazz main competition which will be both hybrid and electric options. Honda got to up their game.

This is extremely reliable news of a new Toyota Yaris

"...our exclusive images preview how it could look..."

 Yes, of course! It could... Or maybe like this :P:


Really reliable news that makes sense!

If true, that's a good looking car, better than the Jazz. Don't understand the black line down the front door hinge under the mirror? Will the hybrid have an auto gearbox? :(

I would chalk this up as another "designer brain fart"  (pardon my french)  :D
