OLD school honda fit commercial (from the 80's)
 

so some of you may or may not know that the fit has been around since 1981 in japan. before it was called the fit, it was called the city. now the name "city" is reserved for the honda fit sedan. here is a japanese commercial from the 1980's featuring a ska band called "madness"

YouTube - HONDA CITY CF(Japan)

mother of god

oh and once upon a time, the fit was factory turbo

YouTube - 1984 HONDA CITY TURBO ? Ad

that is so sweet. i never figured the honda city turned into the fit. too bad the fit never came with a turbo.

the GD sedan sold in the asian and japanese market is the fit aria/city sedan.

Sweet, I love Madness.

ah man if only fit commercials were like this now.

They kinda are like this now. The fit commercials are some of the weirdest car commercials out right now.

I like the turbo commercial. Bulldog?!?!?!?!?!

Fit and City are two different series...I thought they were the same..but they are not...check this out...

Honda City
CITY

Honda Jazz (Fit)
Fit

I dont see how that car is related to the Fit? Just because of the name....
The Fit and the Civic Shuttle Van are more similar.

lmao wow that commercial is so lame

The Fit is actually the evolved version of the Honda Civic Wagon...aka wagovan...they had different names (Civic Beagle, Civic Shuttle) as well as different trim models (X, RTi, RTX, 50 series)...its my favorite old skool Honda...I was gonna get one before I got the Fit but couldnt find any..in good shape at least.. :-\

i agree with ray and others that the fit is more like the new civic wagon/hatch.

but thanks for the find kelso.

okay buy why is the modern honda citys chassis code GD??

man that commercial is funny. i love madness! used to listen to em more when i was going through my ska phase in highschool. i still pop em in now and again though.

here you go you damn naysayers!!!

Philippine Market Honda City.


In November 2002, the fourth generation City was released and included a four-wheel drive version. The City is actually a rebadged Honda Fit, in this case a rebadged Fit Aria.

the fit or the city was NEVER a civic.
