If you like Fit - you are definietly a ******. **** off ****ing spammer mother****er!
Fit + Mugen = purdy car. See them all the time around here. Course I'm in Japan... I've seen all types of modifications on Fits. From bone stock to full Mugen. I must say, if I had to buy a small car, I would go with the Fit. But I dunno what they are like in the States.
As a side note... this is my 500th post! Only took 5 years and some change!!

Can't they just make cool little sedan or coupe with some nice chasis, hp,turbo,AWD and price it reasonable ?!! Kinda like Subaru WRX. They all running around looking for some magic buying formula. There is your formula right there! I personally think that there is something seriously wrong with people who buy such stupid cars like Scion xB. Noone in their right mind would go and be willing to waste their money on such ugly,horrible,underpowered car. Doesn't make any sense !!!

When WRX first came out, it was like $1.65 for 93 octane so things were different. The market is changing..... there was no subcompact class until recently. xB is NOT a waste of $. It's a good investment. You get space, good gas milleage, reliabilty. SOme people just want a basic mode of transportation. Not everyone has money for a Lexus RX. Heck, a lot of ppl dont even have money for a new Civic! If a car buyer is interested in speed, comfort, looks and nothing else, obviously these cars arent for those folks. and neither is a Civic..........
Thus it makes more sense to make them more powerfull from the get go. If cars like WRX would cost about 20k young people, their intended target group will buy them faster. That's very easy! Woudn't you buy 20k WRX or Cobalt insted of Honda Fit? And you won't even have to mod!

Rep Power: 0 get a fit with a k20 swap considering the mugen supercharger will only get it to 149hp... ive actually seen a fit with a k20 swap doing a rally race on some forum

I would have to agree from the stand point of I dont like the hatch look, and genrally americans have been hesitant buying hatches. Europe and asia love em though. But you have to remeber subcompacts are the real bottom line class, its a small car so the only way to make the car have useful space is to have it be a hatch. Honda's goal with the fit is just to make a car that can still be fun to drive but is the cheapest thing theyll sell. Its a decent car and im glad subcompacts are catching on here, except the xB that thing is just ugly (and think of the drag on a straight up box).
There is no substitute

Rep Power: 0 Did anyone read the subcompact comparo in Car and Driver this month? The Fit absolutely spanked (not only performance, but fit, finish, erginomics, handling, etc) the Versa, Yaris, and a sh!tload of other little cars.
Apparently it did the emergency lane-change test at a faster speed than a Vette Z06!!!
The C/D editors loved the car, and they're definitely car freaks and racers.

I agree with the above...The ticket to selling this car is for fuel cost..not tuning...yeah you could make it look cool, but it's just like the 7th gen..you're not going to make it fast without swap or boost..I'd buy one..I think it's hot
