Honda seems to have their future planned out well. They already announced the arrival of the CR-Z and Fit hybrids to come next year as part of their plan to be the greenest automaker on the planet. It seems that part of that plan is to phase out some models too.

The company announced the phasing out of the FR-V MPV. The six-seater vehicle will be discontinued this April and the last of its kind will come from the Suzuka line in Japan come August.

Honda isn’t keen on replacing the FR-V citing the Insight and the Fit/Jazz to cover the market segment. A wise business decision, IMHO. While other automakers are flooding the market with cars that target overlapping market segment, Honda seems to be keen on offering on car for specific markets.

The FR-V saw a bit of action in the European market, being one of the only two compact minivans with a 3+3 seating option together with the Fiat Multipla.
