Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 26, 2008 7:48 am)  They do plan to bring even more North American capacity for small-car production on-line in the next five years, I believe. For now, they are playing with the notion of sending Chinese-built Fits (already in production and currently being sent to Europe) to the U.S. Not sure if anyone would even notice, or if they would care. I suspect if they did notice they would care.

Replying to: oregonboy (Jun 26, 2008 9:29 am)  And graduate is right - around town the Fit will do better regardless of transmission. And around town is where most people do most of their driving...

Replying to: lemmer (Jun 27, 2008 7:37 am) and I commute on I-59. I work in Homewood or at Valleydale, depending on whether or not I am at my internship, go to school at UAB, and live near Bessemer. I-59 is typically a fast mover at 5:00pm. Crowded, yes, but FAST! I avoid 65 and 280 like the plague. In my head highway = interstate, no traffic lights. I've found a couple of other subcompact people here in Birmingham as well; one is a regular in the Fit forum. |
