The Honda Fit has been nominated for car of the year! The winner will be announced in January 2007 Detroit Autoshow. Its biggest competition is said to be the 2007 Toyota Camery.

Replying to: akin242002 (Dec 16, 2006 10:35 am) That should read "(impossible to find) car of the year." Are they really on dealers' lots? Not where I live...

Replying to: jpmccormac (Dec 17, 2006 11:46 am) I recently got a reply by e-mail from a dealer near me that does a lot of internet business. He told me that with regard to my inquiry concerning Fit manual shift availability, he would only be getting one in the next month, and it was already sold. This is a high-volume dealership. This car may be great and all, but for me, NO car is worth this much trouble in pursuit of purchase.

Replying to: nippononly (Dec 17, 2006 7:01 pm) I think there may be some sort of sales volume requirement for COTY (to exclude exotics for example), but I'll bet the Fit meets this requirement with no problem.

Replying to: backy (Dec 17, 2006 7:06 pm) Now my local dealer has a 9000-mile '05 Civic SI for sale certified, $17,9. I bet you could get it for $16,5 or $17K. It is tempting me as an alternative to the Fit Sport (with a healthy WALLOP of extra sport built right in) that is available right now. Of course, it only has 3 doors, not 5, and it will get 25% worse fuel economy.... |

| Well Honda didn't exactly do an advertising blitz with the Fit, at least not that I was ever exposed to. Maybe they didn't expect it to be so lauded and so sought after. Perhaps they intended a minimal release to gauge the market. After all, fickle Americans are likely to return to their SUVs (and now crossovers) as soon as gas prices drop again (and it appears that SUV sales are gaining ground again). So the Fit was a bit more of a success than Honda was prepared for.... Maybe they will slate it for North American production in the coming year or in 2008 and then we'll be happily saturated with them on our streets! | |

New test results out...fit did good. Sad to see one getting crushed in the picture on this page. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16273695/ |
