OLD school honda fit commercial (from the 80's)

so some of you may or may not know that the fit has been around since 1981 in japan. before it was called the fit, it was called the city. now the name "city" is reserved for the honda fit sedan. here is a japanese commercial from the 1980's featuring a ska band called "madness"

They kinda are like this now. The fit commercials are some of the weirdest car commercials out right now.

I dont see how that car is related to the Fit? Just because of the name....
The Fit and the Civic Shuttle Van are more similar.

The Fit is actually the evolved version of the Honda Civic Wagon...aka wagovan...they had different names (Civic Beagle, Civic Shuttle) as well as different trim models (X, RTi, RTX, 50 series)...its my favorite old skool Honda...I was gonna get one before I got the Fit but couldnt find any..in good shape at least.. :-\

here you go you damn naysayers!!!

Fourth generation (2002-2008)

A pre-facelift fourth Generation Honda City.

Philippine Market Honda City.

In November 2002, the fourth generation City was released and included a four-wheel drive version. The City is actually a rebadged Honda Fit, in this case a rebadged Fit Aria.
