It's a shame, because I'm sure it's a great car. But that doesn't overcome the "I'm a loser" image it portrays, to me.

so you need a nice car to help you with your loser image?

2002 RSX = $15,000



vs 2006 Fit = ~$15,000



I'd be all over that Acura.

Nope. But I don't need a car that screams it to the world, either.


Remember this guy?


And what he drove?



The Fit reminds me of a modern Isetta.

As was already said, it's goodlooking compared to others in the class (except the Scion tC) but compared to "normal" cars, it's pretty homely. With larger wheels, a tasteful body kit, and lowered suspension, it actually looks pretty neat (ie, the Mugen Fit). My wife wants one of these - she keeps seeing gas [prices go up, she loves small cars, and this has decent room for its size (I'm told). It's a lot cheaper than the FX35 she wants, too.

Sorry, I'm of the mind that no such thing exists. Honestly, the urge to put performance mods on one of these miniminivans baffles me...why not start out with something meant to be fast?


And don't even get me started on that weird-ass "VIP" trend...

I voted for good looking but I have to admit I hate all the body molding added to the Sports model. I will probably be picking up some form of Fit in the next 6 months, but I really wish I could get everything that the Sports model offers EXCEPT for the god-awful plastic appendages.
