2018 Orange Fit sport (daily build)

Hi fellow Fit owners, thought I share some photos of this wonder car.

It's slow but fun and so practical because it holds tons of cargo!

And I love this color

The orange is one of my favorite colors for the Fit. I especially like your wheels - nice!

I'm glad other manufactures are bringing bright colors (see hydunai). I'm so sick of the typical honda boring color choices (white, black, grey, silver, and 1 red or blue) . Glad to see some yellow and orange being offered finally

Just need lime green n purple

I still think most all automakers color pallets are pretty limited. Because they build to sell to the majority and the masses. So most people don't shop for anything beyond white, black, grey, silver, and red or blue.
It's a symptom of this when we think "Orange" is a "Wild" color.
My parents owned a 1970's Datsun pick-up that was Halloween Pumpkin Orange. And for a while in the early 90's, Forest Green Metallic was popular.
But generally I think automakers stay pretty boring.

Personally I liked Honda's Burnt Orange Color, was almost a copper look.

But when you are looking at Orange and Yellow as pushing the envelope, then in my opinion the envelope really isn't being pushed much.

Your wheels make your car look like a BOSS. All offsetted and everything!
.... on the colour note ... just like OP stated ... I need my lime green.
Too bad they discontinued that passion blueberry purple for the fit .. or whatever it was called. Woudda've bought that in a heartbeat.

Agree, especially on Honda's old copper color which always reminded me of Hot Wheels cars - and in a very good way! Also I love those 1950s car colors: aquamarine, teal, salmon … sometimes even all together in a tri-tone! And yellow is perhaps the iconic color for a '57 Chevy Belair coupe. Some old friends of the family had a deep metallic purple '66 or '67 Chevy station wagon - that was a factory color - and what I always thought was especially great about that car, was that it also had a purple vinyl interior! I have never seen another like it, and it just about broke my heart as a child when they had it painted something ordinary.

My old Infiniti was a very deep metallic green, I think it was called Black Forest Pearl or something. I really loved that color, but, like all dark cars, it needed to be kept clean to look good. That's why I went yellow for my Fit.

Lol, it's a unique look. I wanted something different. This is my 6th set of aftermarket wheels, I've had all the popular ones already... (had TE37, CE28, RE30, RS, RG)

Thanks man, the wheel is an aggressive size but I wanted the concave look.

Dude, that blueberry purple was my favorite. I saw it for the 1st time on a 1996 civic hatch and have ever since fell in love with that colour

Is that burnt orange the same color as the CL type S? Or the Element?
