Let's hope our local dealers don't adopt the USA's practice of marking up prices of popular models with long waiting list. Else you're gonna see popular car models marked up by thousands or MYR for those who are not willing to wait.

I'm not sure if there are laws locally that prevent that, though.

Hi Jimmy. Sell Jazz Hybrid buy HRV hybrid?

Not just on HRV, but the same arrangement can be found on the City and the Jazz.

The reason is simple, their fuel tank is under the front seats (instead of the normal placement of under the rear seats), so the exhaust path has to take a sharp turn to a side to go around the tank.

Why is the fuel tank under the front seats? so that you get the Honda Ultra-seats at the back.



I'm not 100% sure but it probably has to do with heat management. Their engine bay is very cramped; if the exhaust comes out of the rear of the engine, it will be under the windscreen cowling and the heat will be trapped when the car is not moving.

Putting it in front, at least there is a fan blowing at it to move the hot air along.
