It IS pretty...but saddled with a drivetrain that I have no love for.

The Fit got dropped because I realized I didn't need to have that level of functionality in my life. I'm just me. I need something with 2 seats (actually, even one would work) and maybe space for hauling some stuff from time to time.

I'm reconsidering a newer Mini. I'm rather intrigued by the Mini Cooper S JCW GP

Agreed. Light...but fugly. They'd be in the bin.

Yes, it's actually rumored to be a functional CF wing. It was evidently important enough to the overall performance package that they redesigned the location of the third brake light to accommodate it...
