I told ppl, two years ago, that the Fit/Jazz was coming to America, and they thought I was Looney Tunes! Example: http://www.hstuners.com/forums/showp...6&postcount=17 Has your friend checked this out yet? http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...65262608055260 BTW, the '07 Fit Sport weighs 2471 lb. which is 100+ lb. more than my '00 CiViC HX, but still pretty trim!  By comparison, a '06 CiViC EX is now tipping the scales at 2700+ Oink! Oink!  That might not sound like much, but it's kinda like draggin' a 230 pound anchor around... Quote:

The first thing that struck me as interesting was the placement of the fuel tank. Dead center. It seems like an odd idea, but when you think about its makes sense. You should get much better balance with that type of placement. Second thing I found interesting was the floor & roof structure. The floor on the FIT is apparently very rigid whereas the roof is more apt to flex. That goes against my original thinking (having dealt with convertibles) of wanting a stiff chassis all around. The design of the chassis itself is completely different from that of any other Honda vehicle. To me, the way it is assembled is impressive. Multiple types of sheet metal with different tensile strengths joined with a frame reinforcement is pretty impressive. And lastly, I know now that no matter how good your air suspension is it will be bouncy.  Guess I should look into these cars. I just kind of passed them off at first.
