"I'm about the same size, too..."
 
He said he was 280 lbs. I'm pretty sure you only meant you are the same height!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what the Honda Fit will look like probably one year from now in the USA:
 

 
Doesn't the new Fit look great? I like the design, inspired by the previous-generation Honda Civic hatchback (which was sold only in three-door Si form here in the USA) and the Honda FR-V multi-activity vehicle sold in Europe. This is the car that will finally replace my 1998 Honda Civic HX CVT coupe.

Like the current one better by ateixeira

I dunno, the current one is more consistent as a design. That has curves mixed with right angles. The headlights almost touch the windshield, and there's almost no hood at all.
 
Meh, I don't like it. It looks like a shrunk-wrapped van.
 
I like the rear wheel flare and the wheel design, but those rims could be 2" bigger.

I think it looks good, sleeker and more "modern" than the current Fit. I think it looks less like a shrunken minivan than the current Fit, because the current Fit is boxier and minivans are big boxes.
 
But I wonder why Honda doesn't just make it simple and turn the entire front end into one big headlamp--they are most of the way there anyway.

Indeed, it seems like Honda and Peugoet are in a race to see whose headlights hit the A pillars first.

thats the beauty of designs in general; its not about if you 'get it' or not, you just have to decide if you like it or not.
 
personally, i think its looks very cool. And if it handles better than the version already out, like edmunds first dirve article insinuates, its going to be as un-mini van like as possible.
 
it does remind me of the 02-05 si hatch, but i doubt it was 'inspired' by it, being as they serve 2 distinct purposes.

i'm an engineer, and so i'm always looking at things from a "form follows function" perspective. i look for the gratuitous, the excessive, the extraneous, etc. and tend to toss those things out.
 
looking at the headlight assemblies, it is clear the diameter of the relecting surface does not dictate that they be pushed so far apart and up towards the a-pillar. they are doing so to make the vehicle look more "agressive" and "bigger".
 
it's all an illusion.
