Someone posted a scanned one off a magazine, but here is the online version

The first link, I like how the fit is on the front line :) Also, do you think that first pic of all those cars is photoshopped, or did they really park the cars that way at night. I like that picture

 

Another aware. How boring. :D

Speaking of 10 Best... is anybody surprised the 2007 Accord won again? It's on its last year for this model and it still beat out the brand new Camry?

 

I just picked up the new Motor Trend today and the new Camry won their Car of the Year review. The Fit Sport 5AT was a finalist however. Here's some of the performance tests and results:

0-60: 9.8 sec
1/4 mi: 17.3 sec @ 79.3 mph
Braking 60-0: 121 ft
600' slalom: 65.4 mph avg
Lateral acceleration: 0.79g avg

SUM UP: A well-oiled machine that somehow drives better than all its numbers would indicate-a hot value by any measure.

 

While we're on the topic...how is the "lane change test" different from the traditional slalom that different car mags use to test performance?

 

lane change test is basically an accident avoidance technique. It measures the cars maximum speed during a critical lane change at the last moment. A slalom is basically trying to keep the car going through the cones at the highest speed possible over a distance and multiple weaving motions...

 

Remember how they rank the top 10. Accord has highest reliability, and is a great deal. The camry, altho it did win top motortrend car, was praised for its improvement, not its current position.

You're right. Fit winning is getting boring. I still like reading them, but it's as thrilling as re-reading an older article. I wasn't suprised how little feedback this thread got.

 

Thanks for the clarification. Trust me...I know my way around a slalom. :D Now that I think of it, I think I saw a vid of a the lane change test somewhere.

 

It doesn't matter which test. The Fit did extremely well in both; beating the Corvette in one (slalom) and the Ferrari in another (lane change). :eek:

 

This is true. :D

 

 

It helps to have most of the bugs worked out in the past 4-5 years. ;)

 

nice congrats. s2k arnt on there anymore =[

 

lol true, the other states were kind of of like the lab rats for the Fit huh? :D
