i am assuming the 7 speed is mainly for gas mileage conservation.

that is sad looking. If they honestly mass produce that.... I think the reputation of honda will go down the toilet.

The Fit/Jazz was the best-selling car in Japan in either 2002 or 2003

So it's got one hell of a fanbase...and everybody's always crying for Japan to stop dumbing-down cars for America, so here's a little bit of that.

I read the Honda Japan site a while back, and those have CVTs, with a preset 7 speed gear shift patter with tiptronic. The L series engines are aparently awesome, DOHC with Ivtec is pretty awesome if you ask me. As far as looks go...me likey!

Like mentioned... I believe it's a 7 spd auto or CVT...

A 1.5L DOHC engine w/ VTEC sounds awesome... lol it sounds better than what I drive...

I honestly like the styling, along with the Fit Aria/ City. I hope we also get that... a sedan version, beacause the hatch looks nice, but I'd definately choose a sedan over it.

My sister needs a car after she gets her liscense and I wouldn't be surprised if we checked one of those out.
