The honda FIT
 

Saw it at the Philly car show this weekend... not bad..for what it is.. Reminds me of a smaller si hatchback.

What are your thoughts?

spt118, you took the words right out of my mouth. It's not that bad, for what it is. Would I ever own one? Not planning on it. Unless they provide some wicked performance mods. for them. Then I'd investigate.

RE: The honda FIT
 

do you have a picture of it?

RE: The honda FIT
 

I'll try to get some pics of the Fit when i goto the autoshow (Chicago, biggest in North America) on Saturday. I went today, but i didn't see prolly cause i was concerned with the SI and i was with my school so i didn't have much time.

Personally I dont care much for the design, makes me think of a focus hatchback or even worse a scion...... Good in concept considering the space inside but the outside for the most part makes me want to take a crap on it.
