Honda launches all new Jazz 2009 in Oman

"I have to say that the All New Jazz 2009 sets a new benchmark in this highly competitive segment," said Paul Turner, Honda Oman National Sales Manager, speaking at the launch of the
"It's a great car for today's more urban lifestyle and the exceptional response we've had to the New Jazz shows that Honda has got it just right."

Special guest at the launch was Oman's popular international champion body builder Hajji Shaban. Turner pointed out that Hajji was a natural choice for the launch: "He embodies so much of the spirit of the New Jazz and so many of its wonderful qualities - like the Jazz he's received many international awards, they're both absolutely top of their class, sporty and with amazing strength." The guests at the launch clearly agreed with Turner's enthusiasm for both Hajji and the Jazz as they crowded round to have their pictures taken with the two world-acclaimed award winners.

Turner went on to outline the many special features of the New Jazz 2009, emphasising its dynamic performance: "I cannot overstate the fantastic performance of the New Jazz," commented Turner. "It's made possible by its new 1.5L i-VTEC engine and what a difference that makes!"

Hamed Al Balushi, of the Honda Wattaya sales team added: "The remarkable performance that Paul mentioned is certainly something that draws people to the New Jazz but this car also combines fantastic value with great practicality."

Clearly enthusiastic about the new vehicle Al Balushi went on to say: "And Hondas do extremely well on the resale market. That's something people keep a keen eye on these days and is increasingly a factor in purchase decisions. People aren't just buying the Jazz because it's an international award winner, they know they're getting quality. In today's market that's one thing people don't want to compromise on. And at Honda our commitment to quality extends to After Sales Service too. With this in mind we're extending our network across the sultanate to make sure as many people as possible have access to top class Honda service and repairs."

Mohammed Iqbal Shaikh, Honda Salalah Branch Manager, where the very first New Jazz 2009 was sold on the day it arrived in the showroom commented: "I have to say that when I took this car out for a test drive what struck me most was that it's such fun to drive and so user-friendly. I can't think of another car in its class that can match that. On top of that, despite the power of the engine it's very fuel efficient."

The National Sales Manager agreed: "Fuel efficiency is very important in today's market. We know that drivers appreciate this from the point of view of economy but also there are environmental concerns too. Honda is a company that's proud of its environmental credentials. We've been at the forefront of environmental and energy technologies for decades so fuel efficiency is something that really matters to us and it's something that's a consideration right across our model line-up."
