Replying to: irnmdn (Apr 28, 2006 5:22 pm) I like to see utility in design, so the Fit looks beautiful to me. When I first looked at it I discounted the fit because it struck me like you say a mini mini van. The shape of the Aveo and matrix are very similar to the fit. In person I just don't find them as appealing as the Fit. I guess it is the whole package of the Fit, it gives me that 'oh wow' feeling. happy motoring

Credit to Honda for keeping the lines ever so slightly sleek, and the hood low. It honestly looks nothing like a minivan IRL. However, you could make a case for it somewhat resembling a Toyota Matrix, which isn't that much prettier than a minivan.

I really dislike the re-desgined look of the Civic - what I consider to be a Prius-wannabe look. I prefer the styling of the Fit, and I especially like the idea that it's a hatchback. On the other hand, I just picked up a new '05 Elantra GT for about the same or less than a fully-loaded Fit, so who am I to be comparing. But the new Fit seems to be filling the same kind of niche as my old '96 Civic DX hatch. Just improved. (Well, except for the 3ft increase in turning radius, according to edmunds. Weird.)

Replying to: tsgeisel (May 03, 2006 2:24 pm) Wider tires (195mm on the Fit Sport vs 175mm on the Civic DX 1996 i think) and different track widths, maybe? |
