Just returned from China. My fit observations

The fit is called a jazz in Hong Kong. I almost forgot. However, it's called a fit in China, which disproves the theory fit = built in japan, jazz= built locally, since the chinese fit is built locally. The fit sedan, called aria elsewhere, is called Fit saloon.

In the small city I was in (meizhao) I know why the fit is popular now. 1) it's pretty big compared to a hatchback 2) it looks like a koi/ it's the least ugliest wagon there.

I also saw one car with a sticker. It was an intel inside style, but it reads "VTEC outside". And below the ring it says "we are i-DSI"

My uncle drives a honda City. The interior (esp the front) is practically the same as the fit, except it's leather and suede and [faux?] wood trims

The other common car is the oddessy, which is sportier. I think this is their equivalent to big trucks here. but 'm more okay with it because asians drive shorter distances, and because not everyone drives, a van is useful so it justifies the largeness. (I think only 20% of US truckers use the truck bed)
