Honda Fit Hybrid coming in late 2010

Honda Motors plans to roll out a gas-electric hybrid version of its Fit subcompact next year.  The Honda Fit hybrid is expected in late 2010 and Honda is hoping to tap growing demand for low-emission vehicles. The Honda Fit hybrid will hit the market about a year and a half ahead of schedule as Honda looks to take advantage of receptive marketplace trends.  Starting prices are expected in the $16k range and expectations of 60-70 mpg.

Amid the devastating global slump in demand for cars, hybrid cars have become a bright spot for the industry with Honda seeing robust demand for their latest models.   Honda spokeswoman Akemi Ando said the automaker has not decided the timing of release, price or sales target for the Honda Fit hybrid.
