The Honda Vezel is Honda’s new Fit-based crossover, which was originally previewed by the Urban SUV concept last year. The Fit-based crossover is supposed to go on sale soon in the U.S., so hopefully Honda will unveil the U.S. spec version of the Vezel next month at the New York Auto Show.

Also if HR-V sounds familiar, it should since it was the name for another small crossover that was sold in Europe and Japan until 2006.
