Spare Some Ribs: Honda Life

Not even the newly launched Life mini has escaped from the claws of Honda's unofficial motorsports and tuning arm, Mugen. The Japanese company has released a host of tuning accessories that promise to give a little more... life to Honda's new 'kei-car'. These include a subtle bodykit, various alloy wheel designs available in sizes 14'' or 15'', a sport exhaust system and an electronic tire-pressure gauge so you can always keep your tires in tip-top shape. Sorry to say, speed freaks will have to do with the standard 0,7-liter engine that's available in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged forms as Mugen did not released any performance upgrades.

Honda Releases New Life Minicar in Japan

Much to the rejoice of lackluster-styling car fans, Honda has introduced a new-generation of its dwarf-sized Life minicar. The new model will go on sale in Japan on 7 November, 2008 priced from 945,000 Yen or with the current exchange rates, $9,650 U.S. Honda plans on selling around 13,000 units of the Life a month. The Japanese automaker's revamped proposal in the Kei car segment will be offered with a 660cc, 3-cylinder engine available in both naturally aspirated and turbocharger forms and mated excursively to a 4-speed automatic transmission.

As is common in Japan, the Life can be equipped optionally with an all-wheel-drive system while customers may select from three different trim levels: the basic Life G-type, the sportier Life Diva that features a subtle bodykit and the more luxurious and better equipped Life Pastel.
