I wonder why ?” >u mean the one below the passengers seat?? i think its flat once the back seat is fold back to position.. No. I was referring to the transmission tunnel hump which was not present in the previous Honda Jazz. I remembered it not being there hence the term flat floor. yippi33 said,

As for why Malaysians are always the last to get the car launched, I believe it's because of our overly inflated car prices. As a Honda Fit/Jazz in Malaysia is considered a luxury car rather than a basic car, they have to change their marketing strategy and make the Fit feel abit more high class.

Is this a true or valid statement ? We Malaysians will always be the last in line compared to our buddies in Singapore and Thailand when coming to car launches. Honda even have assembly plant in Melaka but I already saw the 2009 Jazz in Singapore for 2 months. And even when launched, the specs are already altered to meet the pricing....and we even have to pay higher based on your salary per capita. WTF. Paul, Can u explain, if can why we always be the last to get the car launched in Malaysia....is our G not friendly enuff or the TIGER is scaring other car makers away.
