Despite being a German brand, Wald International nonetheless prepared a pretty slick restyling program for the sports car, one that includes fresh aerodynamic pieces forged from fiberglass-reinforced plastic.[...]
We knew the specialists at MUGEN are playing with the idea of creating a sportier Jazz (the European version of the Fit), so the following piece of news comes as no surprise to us.Honda's new mini MPV, launched late last week in Japan and going by the name of Fit Shuttle, has grabbed MUGEN's attention and the result is what you can see in the adjacent images.

The Japan market only Fit Shuttle is a slightly taller, longer and more practical version of the Fit (also marketed as the Jazz in certain countries) which itself is a tall five-door subcompact model.[...]
