Look, I know it's politically incorrect, but I saw my first '09 today. I had a rear view of this white vehicle that said "Fit" on the back. My first thought was that it was a non-Sport (without the spoiler), but when I drove closer, it indeed had a spoiler. It had black rain gutters running down the roof, and wondered whether I had missed that same feature on my Fit. I drove around it. When I saw that "hook nose" from the side I knew what it was.
I have to break the ice here. You guys know what I mean. That is one ugly a$$ vehicle. In fact, I might even trade mine in for a Mazda 3 now.
Honda got a little too much into engineering, and forgot about aesthetics.
They are pretty ugly cars in my opinion. But I do not even think they are that ugly. And who said the Gremlin was even ugly? Get to love each persons taste I guess.
Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. The allure of the Fit has always been it's so dorky it becomes cool. Well, that and you get a lot of bang for your buck.
I'm sort of shocked I haven't seen many new '09 Fits on the road here. Seems the '08 took off in popularity right when gas started climbing. I went from being the only one in a Fit on the freeway to driving in a damn flock of them. But I have yet to see the new model in action on the road. Strange...

the new fit isn't THAT bad. sure, i prefer the GD3 styling, but come on, there are pleanty of other cars that are not nearly as good.
and why would you trade your '08 for a Mazda3? because the '09s are not to your taste? that doesn't even make any sense.
i think the hyundai tiburon should be on the top 3 ugliest cars:

Totally agree about the aztec makes my top 3 but the honda insight is sexy to me but i love crx's -
next i'd say the toyota prius is ugly but i understand the whole aerodynamics thing - Dodge intrepid eeeew
Cross-over, eh? Screw-up, IMO. Epic fail of looks. And then people put gigantic rims on them and they look like a freaking Conestoga wagon...
hummm... that's werd. im not a fan of the FX, but i think they look
pretty good. i like the new one better cause it looks like a mean looking
animal in a cute way..watever that means. like a whale or a shark
or something.
if it had a tad more utility i would consider getting one...and pet it every
morning before going to work.
