The Honda "FREED"

Well, alot of us in North America have been waiting for Honda to release a smaller van like the Honda Stream, but it looks like Honda may be switching gears a little bit. This is the Honda Freed, based on the newly redesigned Honda FIT. It appears that the vehicle may come in 2 different seating configurations, one with 2nd row bucket seats seating up to 6 (or 7?) and one with a 2nd row bench seating for up to 7 (or 8?). No word on what engine they would put in it, though it seems unlikely that they'd leave the 1.5 litre 109hp FIT engine. Could this be the 1.8 litre that the Civic gets?
