What are you sore from? Was it the spirited driving?

Was wondering what happened to ya...thought maybe you decided to go to Japan.

That, drinking, walking. I beat up that manual tranny Fit... I threw it into some turns with all my might with 2 other females and they didn't even scream. I hope that tells you something about the new Fit

Nice...looking forward to your videos Sunday morning! Sounds like Honda really got the new Fit right.

I'm uploading some clips to youtube now, but ahead of time, I ask to forgive me for some juvenile behavior while behind the wheel of the new Fit

edit: But know this, it was for the sake of "journalism"!

Dude, the vids are upside down. You made a comment at the end, "very good, very good...but...."? You seemed like you enjoyed it.

Thanks!

hahah I have to flip them on Youtube edits. I have more videos with commentary and one where I had a tough language barrier while trying to speak with the R&D guy and exploring the CVT model on the road at the same time. but I shouldn't put them up until 4/9. But later today I'll compile all the ones I'm uploading now into one video.

All my vids are just raw, unplanned with random commentary then random moments of being a hooligan

Well, don't get yourself in hot water with Honda by breaking the embargo early. If you do they might not invite you to any future media events.

Thanks for all your input!

I would say the mothers with strollers were impressed with that about as much as I was. But good job anyways. It looks like that test drive was a real hunt to find good corners to let it out on.

I'll try to review my notes and start working on a story with my impressions, all my notes and questions, and things I've learned from PR people engineers I've spoken to. I'll have it ready to go when the Embargo is lifted on 4/9

For now, another little corner hunting video. Words were scarce but actions spoke louder I have one more video as I was leaving the parking lot with the 2015 for the first time, it will finish processing shortly

I'm an older adult so this is some what of a let down. Now looking forward to some very good reviews from professionals after the embargo is released in about a week or so regarding Interior/Exterior colors combination, and a more mature look at their driving impressions, thoughts of the Hondalink system, not to mention the sound level reduction on this new Fit compared to the 2013 model. For now, not much to get one interested in until the embargo is lifted.

Well I did share my overall impressions of the 2015 Fit with the R&D person that was invited from Japan who worked on this car. My comments on the car matched exactly what he worked to improve over the older models. I have the information, I just can't release it yet. This is the mindless stuff I did that in the meantime has no info that must be covered up.

I spent 20 minutes tooling around in the car and 3.8 hours with the windows up, radio off, and closely evaluating the car

Are you allowed to show photos before the embargo? If so, can you post some up? Especially the interior of the Model with the manual transmission. Thanks!
