At best this thing looks like a toy. It might look good in the show-room but next to a traditionally styled auto it [the Fit] looks silly. The car looks like a novilty item, not a $10k+ piece of machinary. To me, this car is one step away from a VW bug.

 

I like it, much better than the current one. There is a niche here in the market-- small on the outside, big on the inside, great MPGs. These actually make more sense than most cars on the road.

PS- EG hatch is the egg

 

crv or accord wouldn't get anywhere near the mpg and not even close as fun to drive.

im wonderin what the dedicated honda hybrid will be like

 

Looks much better. I've always liked the concept of the Fit, it's very European. A small hatch that gets good MPG, is practical, cheap and yet fairly fun to drive.

 

Didn't want to start a whole new thread on this so I'll post it here.

Edmunds tests the new Fit

 

+4. Old fit looks better...

 

Accord/CR-V get good enough mileage for me, and I don't consider fear of 18-wheelers and 109hp as "fun to drive."

And it looks like a modern day Urkle-mobile.

 

I like the new Honda FIT. It may be a big urkle like but hey at least it's not one seater.

 

fun to drive is only slightly related to hp, but that's just imo.

fifth gear did a crash test showing how strong and well modern small cars do against large cars.

but hey, it's ok to hate on the Fit. I think it's FUGLY as well.

 

As Project Chief Engineer Kohei Hitomi says, "When you're on a good thing, don't just stick to it. Make it better."
If only they did what they say with the S2000 and NSX

I actually like the current gen better.
