hell yes, I love that Honda Fit.


it was made to compete with Toyota's Scion market. My echo will have something else to play with on the road yaaayyyy

[JDMFantasy2k]

well i'm assuming they're going after scion with this one, and in that case, i'd rock this over a scion (aside from tC) any day. It's pretty neat lookin.

[pdiggitydogg]

It has been out for quite awhile in other markets, sold as the Jazz in most places, and Fit in Japan.
It has a lot of neat little features like different seat configurations (like we care, I know).
There's already a Mugen and Spoon Fit in Japan

[GT40FIED]

Damn that's ugly. What exactly does it "fit"? Darin's alternative lifestyle?:D

Edit: At least it gives us a new name in that time-honored game of sticking the word "anal" in front of names...the Anal Fit. Bwahahaha

[Fatal070]

Hey Pat since I know you are a mian Fit guy how much is this car going to go for? Will it be taking the old civics pricing place?

[thermal]

I've seen it before here in Europe. Nice but too small for me.

Can't be as bad as all those SmartCars I see around here haha.

[pdiggitydogg]

Yeah, these will be cheaper than the civic, but I havnt seen any pricing, even in yen.

[Robert]

Looks like a good idea.

exactly the same as the Yaris/Vitz:D

bring it Honda, I'll see your Fit with my Echo

[pdiggitydogg]

what if Fit-ers see your Echo with a K24 and a2 head?

[IALuder]

i forgot about what those had for power plants. it might be a peppy little car.

[MissJDM]

Looks = ep3 + matrix = negative

i'm really curious to see the specs on it though. Wonder what the whp will be to its weight. Honda needs to lighten their cars again!

I'm thinkin; it's gonna be K series + LSD + . . . .

[pdiggitydogg]

It actually has a new L series engine
L15 vtec or L13
There are paddle shifters with the 7speed model (yes, 7)

K engines do, supposedly, drop right in, however

(1,100Kg max = 2200lbs)
(L15 - 143Nm = 105ft/lbs tq - - - L13 - 119Nm = 88ft/lbs tq)
[sounds like a new civic!]

Mugen's concept and test fit's are k20a's

[AzCivic]

post some kseries swaps in these things!

[thermal]

oh shit.... the L-series propaganda is about to start...lol

[JDMFantasy2k]

2200 lbs, it's like a 4 door crx. Throw a k20a2 in that fucking thing and... :crazy:

[Robert]

I think i might buy a new one in a year or so if they price is right.
