Aimed primarily at young buyers (the ones Mark Fields hopes to target with Ford's B-segment concept at the Detroit show), the Fit hits all the hot buttons: iPod capability, versatile cargo space, and fun driving dynamics.

Erin reports that the 1.5L 4-clinder VTEC engine puts out 109 hp/105 lb./ft of torque and is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or an available 5-speed AT, which Honda claims is first-in-segment. The Fit Sport will have wheel-mounted paddle shifters with the AT selection and a 160-watt six speaker audio system. Fuel economy is rated at 33/38.
Looks cool to me..

When you think about it, these are the kind of specs for weight, price, power, etc. that the Civic had 15 years ago.

Yeah I was pretty spot on with my weight guess of 2400 pounds. 1080kg is equal to 2380 pounds.

spoon likes it because they believe in balance and the ability to be reliable in endurance type races
