VLJ Model: HondaJet

Honda Motors, Inc. has been toying with aviation since the 80's and has been very low-key about the whole ordeal.  It looks like patience and thorough research will yet again payoff for Honda as they prepare to take their well-earned share of the microjet fortune.

Honda will announce the price and specifications for their very light jet model, the HondaJet, and start taking orders on October 17th, 2006 at the National Business Aviation Association show in Orlando, Florida.  A Honda spokesperson has said that the price will be under 4 million dollars and deliveries will begin in 2010.
