Ok I searched and searched and couldn't find another thread so here it goes...

L.A. Auto Show: Honda unveils Fit EV, available in 2012 | Money & Company | Los Angeles Times

The spoiler and shark fin antenna jut don't belong.

 

The antenna isn't bad, but now that you mention the spoiler...wth? A very interesting concept, it's just too bad that you can only do a 100 miles. In my area, this means it would take days to get to the next major town. Hooray for battery research! (That's basically what we're subsidizing when we buy these cars.)

 

i wouldnt mind having those headlights.

 

Hmm. 5-lugs?

 

Actually they do, the shark fin antenna will probably produce less drag, how much I have no idea. But the spoiler will increase the range and can even help us with our MPG (for those who desire it).

 

In 10 years the fit will be the size of the accord. And the accord will be the size of the pilot lol. Every year each car gets larger and larger haha.

 

Looks like the same size as the GE to me.

And yes, the body styling changes are for aerodynamics.

I sure as hell hope we get those headlights as an option in all the refreshed fits!

 

That is the JDM version of the EV. It looks about the same size as the current GE in USDM meaningggg that the JDM version got bigger and if you compare the USDM GE to the EV USDM (which we have yet to see) it will probably be larger.

We will wait and see for the official specifications though!

 

i dont think that the JDM model. looks to me like a USDM GE with EV bumpers and skirt. car is LHD and the trunk badge says Fit, not Jazz.

 

Yeah, that's what it looks like to me.

 

does anyone spy Bluetooth?

 

Digital Climate control like our JDM counter parts. No padle shifters? (im just going by the pictures. lol)

 

I wonder how much drag the shark fin antenna reduces lol


I like the styling of the car it's an odd front end. No mesh grill area. Back to the 95 civic?

 

anyone else notice the fender flairs? i wonder if thats part of the body or something stickyed on like sidemoldings

 

I'd be curious how much MPG actually improves. If I had to guess, it's there as a part of the hybrid look, which to me looks fugly.

 

You're right, never noticed that till you pointed it out.

 

...change my mind....I think that SHARK FIN and rear spoiler is nice....

 

i notice 5 bolt pattern Rims. liking the civic style numerical digital speedo. meter.

 

I like how the front end looks. I saw it up-close at the autoshow.
If the car is going to be a hybrid, then it's a cool thing, for those drive in the city and don't keep cars for a long time.

But if it's a pure electric, then it's not such a serious car. Like cell phones that often get discharge to zero, people will be sitting at the side of the road with discharged EVs (i thought i could make it). And I couldnt even drive it to las vegas if the range is 100 miles.

White interior would get dirty fast. Up close, I really loved the tails. It's like neon light, these pictures don't do justice for those super cool tail lights.
