Well it was officially unveiled yesterday. There has been alot of uproar that the MPG should be higher. Its EPA rated at 33/38, personally I think its great, there are alot of factors that prevent it from being higher. But anyways, I have been waiting for a couple years for this car to come to this continent. So if you havent seen it yet here it is.











This car really reminds me of the 3rd gen Civic. Its small, made to run about the city, practical yet fun to drive. And look at the HVAC controls, even the Fresh/Recirculate control is similar to ours!!

And check out the specs -

Fit
1987 Civic

Almost everything is identical. And it has the same Weight/HP ratio as the Si.

Anyways, I am sure some of you wont like it but I love it and am planning on getting one when they come out. Anyone else?

i had higher hopes, i really dislike the way new cars are going these days. high degree hoods that meet the line of the windshield. they all look like mini vans too me. and because of that styling the cg is soo high.

its a bit tall...but i'd totally rock that...wonder if it is 4x100...black with gunmetal cf 48s...hah...damn

I've definately been anticipating the fit for a few years now, i got to see them 2 years ago when i went to japan. i really like em. i want a black one! i also got 2 see spoon's enduro fit at the type 1 garage. fell in love with the little bugger

Aside from some minor differences it's reminds me a hell of a lot of my mom's Suzuki aerio SX........Compare

[lopezi]

They have a Matrix/*shudder* Vibe feel to them. Any news on 2DR versions?

[3gencivic]

to me its to much like this car.
suzuki aerio

[Airgazm86]

Reminds me a little too much of the Aerio/Vibe/Matrix. What will the MSRP be on those?

I'll only be happy if we get these:

[meancivicsi]

looks like the base model will be around13-14g's. i want to test drive that 5 speed steering wheel mounted paddle shift
i think it looks more like the chevy aveo(which is actually a kia or something) but it's not those things it's a honda. i really want one my rex.

I dont really like this car, its too boxey for my style. i think someone described it as tall, i agree. new cars suck in my mind.

So my verdic is: This car is fit for the pit.
Little canadian humour for ya, im sure no one has seen this show.

Anyhooo... back on topic It looks like & is probably very similar to the


Echo hatchback/Yaris from Toyota

Weight is about the same & the engine has about the same power & torque.

That fit engine though, 1500cc's, 109 HP, 105 torque, VTEC, probably built pretty small & light. I wonder how easy it would be to fit one of these motors in a 1/3G? With headers, intake & some tuning it should be good - not too much power, but probably nice & revvy...

Cant believe someone named it

Jonathan Torrens is way better on Trailer Park Boys anyways, it was a good change, even from Jonovision, which i also loved.

Well one very distict similarity I noticed between the Fit and Aerio SX is the little triangular window infront of their mirrors.......go ahead take a look

[nivek2002]

Sure it has the same body style as an Aerio/Matrix/Vibe but this one surely is the best looking one out of them all. It has the right propotions and some sexy lines. But yeah it is a tall econo box type of car. But thats what the 3rd gen is to. And the Fit certainly looks much more sexy with 16's and lowered a bit.



And the Mugen Fit Dynamite turned out to be a turd. Like putting an H22 in CRX. The engine was way to heavy and hard to fit into the small engine bay.
