New Honda hatch
Honda has just announced that it will soon launch a five-door hatchback in Europe and the United States. The car to be called the Quintet, is based on the floorpan of the hew five-door Civic but is powered by the 1600 cu cm Prelude motor. 1 The Quintet has square headlights and clean, European lines and is expected to compete with the latest crop of European front-wheel-drive hatch-backs like the ‘ Lancia Delta and Opel KadetL Also announced in Britain this .week was. a new
Talbot (Chrysler) medium saloon. The Savoy is virtually a four-door Alpine with a boot, and is expected to compete with the Cortina on the fleet market in Britain. - The Savoy puts a question mark over the future of the trusty Avenger, and it is believed that the Avenger will get a final facelift next year before being dropped. However, there are no plans to produce the Savoy in New Zealand — probably bethe Avenger is like to be seen here for quite a few years yet.
