You're not alone

 

I just bought the '13 and one of the only things making me question my timing was the pending redesign. Thought maybe they'd release it and I'd kick myself for buying the outgoing model. However, I am absolutely in LOVE with my Fit, and if this is the replacement, I am happy because I'm not loving it. The taillights are goofy looking and it does look a bit like a minivan (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I'll reserve final judgement for when the full design is unveiled, but if this is for real, not a great first impression.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the new fit looks similar to new urban suv honda just unveiled. The new urban suv prototype, looks very good, obviously everything is not going to make it into production.

 

they are based on the same platform

 

i like the front but not so much on the rear. i wouldn't get one even though i'm in the process of contacting japan to see if they will make a k20 swap for me at the factory.

 

To be honest 1 gen looks the best

 

I love my fit

 

My baby sexy

 

I can't stand the tail lights, but that last window on the side in combination with the roof line really bothers me. It doesn't look at all sporty to me. To bad Honda didn't retain the window designs from the last 2 generations.

 

Add in the fact that the US version will have at least 6-8 inches more front overhang and about 5 inches of rear overhang to meet US bumper standards, and you have one ugly car. Probably bigger and heavier on the outside and smaller on the inside, too.

As Uncle Gary always says, "life's too short to drive ugly cars."

 

those tail lamps reminds me of clowns with diamond eye makeup.

plain ugly and that front fascia looks like an underwear. also, what's up with honda trying to look like toyota cars??? if you take out the H emblem on that so called new FIT... toyota pops in your mind first

A lot of newer sketches.

I especially like the Type R rumor

 

hellz yeah i love my 07. not as cool as urs (yet)
but it catches eyes

 

I know the rendings or guess of what it may look like to me it looks closer to the Mazda5.

 

Don't like it and wouldn't buy one. Looks like a shrunk CRV and we have one of those.

 

I think a type R or Si version is something they really need.
The new Ford Fiesta ST comes with 197 HP and still gets 35 mpg on the highway.
The fit is great for its versatility, but there seem to be limited engine mods to increase power so I if someone is looking for more of a hot hatch then the Fit doesn't work quite as well. The GTI or newer Fiesta ST may be a better choice. Giving a faster version would get more people to take a second look at what most people consider a economy car.

 

I find it looks like an aerodynamic badger

 

Honey Badger DON'T CARE!

The Type R is looking pretty nifty. I wonder why they don't just put in a the 1.8L and tune it towards gas milage. One less engine to manufacture and better if not the same gas milage.
