Ha, highly doubt it. With us Americans and our lead foots, this thing would die so fast. If it got like a 2.4 or something, thats a different story. Look at the Mazda5.

I love the Freed, and loved it when I saw it over at AutoBlog a month or so ago.

It at least needs the Civic's engine to sell in the U.S. And the Zest would at least need the 1.5. But with enough power/the right gearing, I think either might do well, as long as gas prices keep climbing.

Hey, I talked to someone last week who is serisously considering getting rid of her Hemi Durango for an '09 Fit, and she's not a car person, so the change in attitudes is coming.


And around this part of the country, I see a ton of Mazda5's, and they need more power, but people are buying.
