Yup its a fit. Spoon is using those to race now. It has great power to weight ratios. I believe they are throwing in a k20a into it.

We have them here in Euro-land under the name Jazz, guess they didn't think Fit would fit

To give you some idea of size, they are about the same size as a Toyota Echo.

Yup, thats the Honda Fit, it comes with a 1.5-liter VTEC(L15A) 1500cc engine with 110 hp stock.
Notice it doesnt say " ivtec" seems like they went old school vtec on this one.

Supposedly we'll get the next generation of Fit/Jazz. I for one welcome it. The Civic has slowly but steadily gone upmarket and now the Koreans are setting up shop in the void it left. I think it'd be awesome to have a fun little Honda for under $13K.

I would love to see the fit hit our shores. Isn't the corolla the number one sold imported car in America? There's gotta be a market for small, affordable, yet half decent cars.

The Honda Fit was number 1 seller in Japan. Toyota Vitz came in second.

Well, I guess having them over here would unseat the EP as the "tubby" car.

Looks like some hard cornering causing the "tucked" look LMFAO dont think they have it setup with the "bags" and scraping it on the circuit
