I think it will be similar, except for 1 important factor. The chief designer for the City retired earlier this year, just a couple of months ago. But he oversaw the development of the new generation City right to the day he retired. He claimed he left specific instructions to his engineers and his successor on what to do. And he claims that the main problem he fixed with the City was its looks :) So apparently the new City looks every bit as good as it is good. This is especially important as the City's main reason for losing a lot of sales to the Toyota Vios was due to its looks. But otherwise, expect the same technologies on the new Fit to carry over to the new City as well. This also means that it's more of an evolution than a revolution, with carefully planned improvements in specific areas instead of a blatant new design. The City has been a runaway success in many ways and Honda Research Thailand is not going to risk rocking the boat too much.
