My girlfriend, in China last month for the olympics, just showed me pics of a Fit she saw while in Bejing.. But it's a SEDAN! I tried to do a search and didn't come up with much; was wondering if any other country besides China got Fit Sedans/saloons.

I'll post that pic once I get the camera back from my GF.

 

What kind of wheels are you sportin'? I like that look, the purple BBP and white rims. Are those 17" tires? How many lugs do your wheels have?

 

Honda is called the Honda City or Aria. Most asian countries get it.

 

OH.. in the pic (which I forgot to upload ), the badge says Fit, but that doesn't mean the owner didn't just grab a JDM badge on throw it on there.

 

The wheels are Enkei GF1 in 16X7 42offset. They're four lug. If you're lookin' for those, I'm not sure Enkei makes them anymore, and if they do, they won't be in white; I had stripped them and powdercoated them that color.

 

We got them and it's called the Honda City. A very unsuccessful car compared to the Jazz....by far.

 

It's known as the Fit Aria or City.

 

in China its called the Fit Saloon....

This is my Daily ride

 

The interesting quirk about the sedan versions of the Jazz/Fit is that they're usually released in other countries (usually the ASEAN region) before they're released in Japan.

e.g. The GD6-9 City was produced in Thailand in 2003 for export to other ASEAN nations (Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, etc) before Japan got theirs badged as the "Fit Aria."

The GE Fits/Jazzes have a sedan counterpart as well. The new City however no longer shares the GE chassis code. Instead it's stamped "GM" - specifically the GM1 and GM2. The same "lag" between ASEAN and Japan for the City/Fit Aria still exists---the GM-series cars aren't even out in Japan yet, and we don't know if they will still keep the "Fit Aria" name over there.

^^^ the cars in the pics above kinda remind me of a TL. similar lines IMO

 

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!! that shit is so dope!

 

the rest of the world gets nice cars and the US gets the shaft end of the lollipop.

 

lol true. if the fit aria was available in america, id still get the hatch, BUT itd be cool to see them driving around. plus, i LOVE the aria front end. id convert to that before the JDM fit front end.

 

^^^ agreed!! i have never liked the sedan pics i've seen but that saloon of frankster's is sick!!!! and i'd rock that front end on my usdm fir if it was possible

yo frankster wanna trade front ends? all the cool kids are doin it - let me know!

 

Yeah, isn't the new JDM, USDM?

If I were looking at a sedan, I'd get a Civic. Not sure where the Fit sedan would fit in in the line up.

 

the fit sedan would compete with the yaris sedan

 

also the versa sedan, and probably the focus as well

 

i'd deff. roll that thing

 

Here's the GM1 City mildly dressed up with Modulo grille and OE Honda 16" wheels. These wheels came stock on the K20A-powered ES Civics sold here in 2005, I'm not sure what they're called specifically but they fit perfectly for both GDs and GEs.

I don't think the Fit sedan would do that well. Toyota sells the Yaris HB and sedan in Canada and the ratio on the roads is like 20:1. One of the big attractions in subcompact is the extra room in the HB. I would rather buy a Corolla than a Yaris sedan, and a Civic rather than Fit sedan.
