ok- so you're IN Japan, why the sudden outburst towards the Fit? Did you either just get there yesterday, or have you been walking around with your eyes closed for the past 3 years?

THE FIT ALREADY OWNS THE STREETS THERE!, and it hopefully will here in America too!

Its a great car, whether you like it or not, and we have no choice but to accept what honda gives us. If you don't like it- don't buy it. I don't care.

Since when is the Fit replacing anything?

The civic has moved upmarket and the american market believes that hatchbacks are cheap. Therefore, it makes logical sense to have Honda's cheapest car as a hatchback.

With your statement about the Civic and its glory and legacy, what do you say about the 06 Civic taking the Motortrend COTY and winning the North American COTY award.

If things were up to you cars would NEVER change and progress would never be made. You act as if Honda is going down the shithole or something...

and why do you care if you obviously dont own an EG, or EK, but a lot of (lame) american cars. Citation? Thats the car that was trying to take out the civic a couple of years ago.

Honda never intended to race the hatchback. Look back at the 1st gen civics, no one ever raced those damn things, Honda is in the game to make money and make sales go up. They could give two ***** about what one person in the world that has a population of almost 8 billion, has to say. Don't be pissed off because the civic is growing up, and the little brother fit is going to be taking its place. Everything happens for a reason, If honda gave a **** about the north american market we would of gotten a type-r civic and the type-s prelude.

"Citation? Thats the car that was trying to take out the civic a couple of years ago."

If you knew anything about the history of cars in America, you would know that the Chevrolet Citation came out in the early 80s, not a couple of years ago. And if you don't know much about car history in America, then how can you argue things such as the history of the Honda Civic?</TD></TR></TABLE>

Couple of years ago, 80's, same thing, jerkface.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ogawa_jiei &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">It's not the Fit I don't like, it's the fact that Honda hasn't given back the Civic that just last year they promised they would. They knew sales of the Civic had fallen off, and they knew they had to get back the younger crowd that they seemed to be losing. COTY or whatever, they tried to get back the Civic's original gusto, but in my opinion, they failed.

While the new Civic is a nice-looking car, to not offer a three-door hatchback in respect to the Civics that made the Civic what it is, is just blasphemy. Now the Fit is taking the place of what the Civic should be, so basically, they ruined what the Civic was. When you build a brand like the Civic, or for example, the Accord, or even the Camry, and then destroy it, it is tragic. Look at Ford with the Taurus. That car is the number one seller in America, until Ford destroyed it with terrible design and decided to sell it as fleet to car rental agencies. They turned their back on it, and then it faded away to be replaced by the Camry and Accord. Honda knew they had sort of turned their back on the Civic, and with the new model they decided to get back to its roots, but like I've already said. Civic roots means a three-door, lightweight hatchback that is good for daily driving and RACING.

I know the new Civic is being raced tons, but it is still just not the same car and it is not coming from its roots.

I don't hate the Fit, just I'm not a big fan of Honda's strategies in North America. It feels like they don't seem to be as ruling as they used to. Maybe Toyota is overshadowing them too much. Not sure.

It just seems that the Civic was the best it was when the EG came out, then followed by the EK. After that, it went downhill, still.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I agree on all points.
