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.

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.

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.

Can't be, the 06 Civic get more that 40 mpg.
