    Nice.

    Any authoritative word on the MSRP of this car in the U.S.? Also, what kind
    of interior will be offered?

    I'm seeking a rough match to my current 91 Honda Civic LX's velour-ish
    interior. I don't want any Toyota Echo-ey plastic on the inside.

  4. Oh, that's just marketing. Most amps only deliver 20-25wpc in
    surround mode if you alter the impedance to match the worst most
    8 ohm speakers create(5 ohms as a low-end value in most cases,
    give or take).

    Still, that's 100db for most speakers. Times 5. That's
    really loud.

  5. I'm going to be SO bummed if they don;t give us the 1.2 with
    basic trim as a low-priced option. A 110HP version would
    only get 40mpg highway. I'd rather get 60mpg highway and
    take a couple more seconds getting up to speed.

    My friend's wife bought the recently restyled Jazz with the L-series
    1.4 i-Dsi engine (8V, twin spark plug), I'm not sure but something
    like 80-85HP. Gets better mileage than my 95 civic, the interior is
    smaller but you sit taller, does not look sporty. The car is manual
    (I've heard that the CVT is great), European specs, was a bit over
    €14k ($16.5k), power windows, locks, mirrors, remote, a/c, air-bags,
    abs. You can buy similar Hyundais for €11-12k.

    I drove it once at night, the temperature gauge has a visible C when
    the engine is cold, there is a big b&w lcd screen (amber) on the dash
    with a huge knob that controls the radio and the (auto fan, auto temp)
    a/c.

    There is a super-lock feature with either the remote or the key, when
    you lock the door with key if you keep turned all the way for a second
    or two, you activate super-lock, that is you can only unlock the door
    with the key (or remote), not from inside the car, even if someone
    breaks a window he/she cannot unlock the door.

    That's the ticket. My 91 Civic LX has the above.

    Sounds promising. Hopefully w/o air conditioning and with a manual
    transmission, I could get it for around $12k.
    I wish I could skip the air bags and anti-lock brakes.
    I am not ready to "convert" to the Hyundai school.
