The return of the Honda Beat... rather, the "FF Beat!"

Aside from the Fit, what would this do to some of the Civic Si business?

2012 Honda Beat

I know... 2012 is a long ways away in the auto world. I think the Fit will continue to evolve. Yet, I'm sure this would steal a lot of enthusiasts who have either purchased, or are thinking of possibly purchasing a Fit or an Si in the future.

Some may say, "An enthusiast purchasing a Fit?" Well, there's plenty of you on this forum, right?

As for the link? Cool looking ride. At this point in my life I'm not extremely attracted to 2 seaters. Still, looks nice.

 

I think it does look nice. 2 seater for me would mean it would have to be a 3rd car, which makes it somewhat impractical and not competition (for me at least) to my Fit. I think it will affect the CR-Z sales more than the Fit though. I can't imaging buying a CR-Z if I saw the Beat sitting next to it for a similar price.

I wish they would keep it small and mid engine though. That makes it sound more fun to me...

 

I don't see a mini-two seater sporty car being any kind of competition for a mini-station wagon/SUV. I drive a Miata and my wife drives a Fit. Two worlds apart.

 

Bingo. Lets hope that if the Beat were to somehow make it to NA that it doesn't come with IMA.

 

looks like a honda gallardo....

 

It's pretty cool looking but I can't see how I can carry a couple of electric guitars and guitar amps, or a big screen TV, or whatever in it.

If I want a wildly impractical "convertible" with no space to carry anything, well, that's why I have the Harley.

 

That looks nice but i don't know if that still will look cool in person. That is also in a different class and I don't think that will affect the Fit sales.

 

no thanks..

 

interesting car.

 

You can't expect to sell a car with anything less than 3 cylinders in North America, not after the Metro. I'm sure it would be quick and all kinds of fun to drive, but I love what I can do with my car and what I can haul around.
