And I'm a graphic designer, so I tend to look for things that are functional, but also designed to look good. Function is of course extremely important, but I appreciate when companies put time and thought into their products to try to make them attractive. As long as they're functional, sprucing them up a bit is a good thing
 
I never would have thought that the headlights were set that way because it was more functional. It's a design decision. Whether people like it or not, that's all personal preference. Most of design is personal preference, and you'll always have some people that like it and some people that hate it.

yeah, i see your point, but i also feel that not everything possible is worth doing.
 
ok, so it looks better than if the lenses were smaller, and maybe it is keeping with the other vehicles in their lineup and the direction they are taking.
 
does it compromise the A-pillar / body interface integrity? hopefully not. does that lense now cost more to manufacture (and replace if broken)? probably yes.

i'm sure honda is aware of keeping costs low.
 
i wouldn't worry about a pillar integrity, as the cars body is much stiffer than before. if you don't like the design, thats fine. but some people do.

From a practical stand point I wonder if visibility will be as good. The rear windows seem smaller than the current version's.
 
It looks fine, I don't dislike it. It's just not as attractive as, say, the Mazda2.

The existence of 2008 Honda Fits? by azlynn

Has anyone actually been able to get a firm answer on when the 2008 Fits will arrive, or seen one? I emailed my local dealer to ask about their stock of 2007 and when they expected the 2008s, but they couldn't be bothered to reply.
 
Thanks!

We bought a nice 2008 Tidewater Blue base model last Thursday so they do exist!

Does anyone know if driving the sport in manual mode would increase mileage over the automatic mode? thanks

I've seen a black rubber strip on scions that have a bumper similar to the Fit...Does anyone know where that can be purchased or what is would be called for me to search. I haul dogs in my Fit and they are scratching the topside of the bumper getting in and out and would like to protect it...Anyone have suggestions? thanks

I would expect the opposite. I'm sure the auto mode is tuned to deliver good fuel economy. It would be hard to beat the computer.
