The Honda Brio Amaze is very close to being launched in the Indian car market. Honda Cars India has high hopes with the upcoming sedan and the new car indeed looks promising enough to change the fortunes of the Indian subsidiary of Japanese auto giant for better.
The Brio Amaze is based on the Brio hatchback that has been on sale in India since some time now. The Brio has impressed us with its styling and its refined petrol engine. It is pretty much for sure that we would also get a diesel variant of the B segment hatchback soon after the Amaze has been launched in India.
Seen here is a new TVC for the South Africa spec Honda Brio hatchback. The advertisement shows that the Brio is more reliable than . . err. . your girlfriend. . and your best friend!

BEWARE: Honda Brio safety hazard. The distance between the Accelerator and Brake in my new Honda Brio is so less, that in a panic situation when one suddenly hits the Brake, the Accelerator also gets pressed. Which means the car stops and accelerates at the same time! Quite a situation for a disaster!
