Honda has fired up a website for its Fit Shuttle. The Japanese-market Fit Shuttle clearly resembles Honda's standard subcompact Fit, but features some added glass beyond the hatchback's C-pillar, which means more cubes of storage space inside. The Fit Shuttle wagon will feature both a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 1.3-liter IMA hybrid, both of which are yanked directly from the standard Japanese-market Fit and Fit Hybrid hatchback.
Word is that the Fit Shuttle will get its official unveiling in March, which leads us to believe that the extended hatch will debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. At this time, the Fit Shuttle is a JDM-only model, though there seems to be some indication that the extended hatch could show up in Europe at a later date. Unfortunately, Honda doesn't appear to have any intentions of exporting the Fit wagon to the U.S. Click here to check out the Japanese Fit Shuttle site.
