Honda has announced that the six-passenger FR-V MPV is being phased out.
The last FR-V will roll off the production line in August, with no plans for a replacement. Only 13,531 FR-Vs have been sold in the UK since it went on sale in 2004. Honda expects to be able to cover the market with the Insight and Jazz (Fit).

They should have marketed that car here in the States. Mazda doesn't seem to have a problem selling a similar version.....

I own one of these and it's great my kids love being able to sit in the front middle perch and 5 up the second row get a panoramic view out the front windshield. I think Honda's biggest problem with this car is mechanical. Only 2 engine options: 1.8 liter petrol or 2.2 liter diesel. Auto gearbox is a 5 speed only available with the petrol engine which is not sufficient for the vehicle's size. I know of several people that have looked elsewhere because of this.

Damn, I would love to have that with the 2.2 to commute to work and pick up the kiddies.
