But I think they are marking it like Scion has become, not what Toyota intended Scion to be.

Scion has become an ultra practical economic people mover purchased by baby boomers and 30-40 something parents.

If they came out with a 160 hp Si version with LSD and sportier suspension I'd be jumping all over this car.

This is the first Honda product that I don't like. I'd rather have the new Sentra

To tell you the truth, the pictures don't do the car justice. I saw a Spoon built version of it at last years Hot Import Nights, it looks a lot better in person...especially with some tweaking done to it.

This is scary. Now that I look at Honda again, the Fit is actually the closest match Honda offers to my next car needs.

C'mon Honda, you gotta bring back the 4 door lift/hatch back Integra... in other words TSX Hatch please.

This is the only Honda car I like at the moment except for the S2000. It would be a better commuter/daily driver than the Civic imo since it gets better gas mileage and has just as much or more space. Plus it's versatile, you can fold the seats down and stuff for extra space. I'm really considering on getting one but probably until the dealer markups die.

I like the compact more affordable Hondas than those V6 high priced Acuras. Honda makes the best four cylinder engine, therefore I like S2000, RSX TYPE S, Civic Si, and this upcoming Fit. I have been waiting for this car to come to the States for two years......finally........

It'll be a great entry level car. I would imagine there will be an Ex available at some point that will give us a little more power and maybe a better tranny. The important thing is that now we can race em!

I have a full set of pics from NAIAS awaiting development.

They are being pretty low-key with its launch. No chick on a turntable, they're just out on the floor next to the rest of the cars.
