Don't think the Cube will be the only lunch box to battle xA and xB ...
Honda officially announced at the Detroit auto show that it will begin selling a smaller, less expensive model below the current Civic. Designed to go head-to-head with the likes of the Scion xA and other sub-$15,000 compacts, Honda's new model is likely to be a version of the Fit hatchback currently sold in Japan. This front-wheel-drive vehicle, powered by a 1.5-liter direct injection engine, will be aimed at young buyers when it appears in early 2006.
