If the idea is hybrid small cars and diesel large cars, how soon can you get more hybrid versions of your small cars?
In 2009 we will come up with a new hybrid-dedicated model for Europe, Japan and the States. So we'll have the Civic and Accord hybrids, plus this new vehicle.
Will you have a Jazz (Fit) hybrid?
No. We're not thinking of a Jazz hybrid right now.
Why not?
To us, the Jazz has sufficient fuel efficiency with the current gasoline engine. I think we want to develop this model, the Jazz, as it is. Instead of coming up with a hybrid version of the Jazz, we're coming up with a hybrid-dedicated model for 2009. The car size would be about in the same category, but a completely different model.

We have investigated what can be done from a technical point of view to comply with the Government's arbitrary number on a go forward basis. Action will be taken for the 2008 model year even though we still have no clarity from the Government that the number [the rebate threshold] will remain the same.
