I can't believe the Chevy Aveo is on there. That thing is a POS.

It's on the nominee list, not the winners list. Car and Driver nominates any car model that is new for the year, or any car that had a major revision for the year.

On a side note, I think Honda should offer the Fit in that aqua-blue-green color that's in the picture. It looks nice.

What numbers do you want to see?

And just in case people are wondering, criteria to get on the list of nominees are "new" or substantially redesigned models, and also models who won in the prior year are automatically entered. There is a price cap too, something like 2.5x the avg price of a new car.

That one in the pic is Vivid Blue Pearl. The scan is not the best in respect to color accuracy

Another small award, the Fit won the "under $18,000" class from some 70 Auto Journalists in Canada.
Will compete for Car of the Year next Feb. against 13 other catogories.

I want to see slalom, braking, skidpad, acceleration, top speed, all that stuff. Ive got a gut feeling that with a little bit of suspension the fit's already amazing reflexes can be honed even further!

Honda should offer a 500hp rear drive Fit so Car & Driver can do a cmparision w/ a ferrari. I wonder if Fit's 71mph slalom will still be that high when it's a theoretical rear drive.
