Ha ha sure looks like it!

"...give it the face of a Honda Fit, let designers from Renault work on the rear and add a sweet white and orange interior and you have yourself a B-segment concept that Nissan calls the Invitation." - write-up

The greatest flattery is imitation.

Which makes it more ironic ... aren't they calling it the Nissan Invitation? Sure sounds very similar to the "Nissan Imitation."

so they basically pulled a suzuki aerio and jacked what could have been a sweet 2013 Fit!!!

I hope honda responds to everyone trying to bring it down. So far the new accords are hinting a mild update (no good) while they are trying to update the civic to respond to diminished sales and support (elantras are everywhere now!)

I love a slightly wider fit (3 inches), with better seats and windshield glass, updated interior ala Hyundai, hid's from factory (cant be that expensive now), led fogs that run as DRL (without wiring mods) and a 6 speed auto. Throw in 10 real horses under the hood to improve overall MPG (mine is 26 mpg cuz I drive in NYC) to seal the deal.

Hope they read this

You should be able to get one horse in there... but I don't think you can fit 10.

That's a blatant copy. They didn't even TRY to come up with an original design, some things are changed a little bit, but you can tell the designers spent hours looking at the Fit and just copied it and improved on some of it's uglier aspects.

They even lifted the Mugen bumper

Well, if Nissan can come up with this, imagine what Honda will do with next Fit!

I feel like that thing looks way better than the Fit. Honda needs to step their game up!

It really does look like it could be the future fit.

I do like the way it looks, but Honda > dirt > Nissan IMO.

Dude, totally wrong sub-forum. Where are the moderators? There are already two topics in the "other car related discussions" section.

For as unmoderated these forums are i'm suprised TOS gets obeyed pretty well, and when they're broken the Fitfreak militia is quick to point it out.
