Personally, I don't like the grille. At all. Reminds me somehow of the Pontiac Aztek:

But putting my finger over that main black grille, I LIKE the way the rest of the car looks. The side sort of appears to have wings. Or surfboards.

The three-bar grille is reminiscent of the GM1/2 City sold in ASEAN and Australia - the successor to the GD6/8 Fit Aria sedan, based on the GE Fit chassis.

The rest of the body looks like it's been inspired from the European triplets, the Toyota Aygo/Peugeot 107/Citroen C1.

after seeing that, and seeing the watermark on the door of the car "theophilus chin" i looked that up and found his website. there is some cool stuff on there, but nowhere does he say he works for honda or any other car manufacturer for that matter. my conclusion is that article is a bogus. shenanagins.

does it have VTAK

AW, I fell for it. LOL! But after looking at the created things, maybe someone needs to give him a job. The article appears to be real, but the photo is his creation.

Here's the picture on his site, and yes, that IS a FIT lower bumper...

His Civic Cabriolet is pretty nice:

So is his CRX:

And we complain about the greenhouse effect of the Fit's front windshield...
Does it pop popcorn too? Or do dishes? Or drive on the moon?

want to know how many times I've been Rickrolled?

yikes, that 2CV is kinda unpleasant to look at too long...

Reminds me of *SOMETHING* that I can't quite figure out.

One thing though, is it's a bit like a PacMan Ghost.

Honda really needs to cool it with all of these models. It's like they are turning into GM just without all the brand names. All the additional models requires a lot of cash to support materials, manufacturing, advertising and everything else. How about improving current models so they sell even better? I suppose that would not be growing the business or responding to different market trends though.

They're engineers and they like to play. And anyway, most of the stuff they toy around with never makes it out of Japan. They seem to be the wisest of the car companies, so far.

if you start to modify it a little, it doesn't look too bad. taffeta white, new grill, red H and lowered...

Did you do that? Change the color? And the rest? Very cool.

Can you change the grill (upper) to all white? It looks too transformer aggressive robotic.

looks like a failed body job on a crashed FIT now....

and did anyone see the "TIF" it looks like a FIT to me..... in fact the hole car looks photochopped

did you read the rest of the thread, including checking out the links posted? Is IT major photoshopped.

The article is genuine, but the photo is not.

I saw someone say car smaller than the fit, and all I can think is, honda already has cars smaller than the fit.. the life. Although its not insanely smaller...

I would give up my fit instantly for a life in the usa

that "tif" looks horrible... the grill looks like it is where the windshield should be. good thing its not real

Hey at least it looks like in the TIF you could change your headlight bulbs from the driver seat!

hahaha I just finished laughing my ass off at that. thank you

It looks like it's SCREAMING! LOL!

That car looks like it's in a rage. Screaming mad with squinting eyes (not from laughing or smiling, but squinting from screaming). It's kind of scary.
