Very similar indeed. Its either an alliance, or someone wanted to be like someone else

They really dont look that similar, the Jazz looks more like a Civic SiR with 2 extra doors

Ugh!

There was something going on with Honda and GM where Honda was building engines for some upcoming GM cars... don't know if that actually came to fruition though.

ok so yes there are a few differences the headlights and such .. but it seems to me like after the dudes at suzuki finished with the designer... they sent them over to honda for a second raping .. or maybe it's the other way around ... I just think they are way to similar for a mere "opps look at that" sort of thing

Jazz/Fit look better IMO. These cars were likely designed with function first, then form. I am sure the interiors are different and I can almost guarantee that the placement of the fuel tank is different. The Fit/Jazz has the fuel tank below the front seats which allow the rear seats to be folded flat.

The Swift/Aveo are actually designed and built by Daewoo.

Ryanhook: Have you seen the new Saturn Vue V-6? It has a 3.5 litre 240 hp V-6 and 5 speed automatic, just like what you can find in an Odyssey or Pilot.
