well i'm assuming they're going after scion with this one, and in that case, i'd rock this over a scion (aside from tC) any day. It's pretty neat lookin.

It has been out for quite awhile in other markets, sold as the Jazz in most places, and Fit in Japan.
It has a lot of neat little features like different seat configurations (like we care, I know).
There's already a Mugen and Spoon Fit in Japan

Damn that's ugly. What exactly does it "fit"? Darin's alternative lifestyle?

Edit: At least it gives us a new name in that time-honored game of sticking the word "anal" in front of names...the Anal Fit. Bwahahaha

Looks = ep3 + matrix = negative

i'm really curious to see the specs on it though. Wonder what the whp will be to its weight. Honda needs to lighten their cars again!

I'm thinkin; it's gonna be K series + LSD + . . . .

It actually has a new L series engine
L15 vtec or L13
There are paddle shifters with the 7speed model (yes, 7)

K engines do, supposedly, drop right in, however




Data Specs: http://translate.google.com/translat...lr%3D%26sa%3DG
(1,100Kg max = 2200lbs)
(L15 - 143Nm = 105ft/lbs tq - - - L13 - 119Nm = 88ft/lbs tq)
[sounds like a new civic!]

Mugen's concept and test fit's are k20a's
