Is This Really The New 3rd Generation 2014-2015 Fit




If this is it I'm thinking I might buy the current one

Waa???
You don't like it?
I think I bought too early, except that the '14's will be built in Mexico from what I hear.

That is one nice bit of body work.
- like the wing being smoother with the roof.
- and those rear corner reflectors, I love those.
-- I want signaling mirrors and well, hood mounted ones just wouldn't work on this car. hehe
--- oh oh oh, but if they put the red and green lights on the sharkfin antennae like they do on boats??? port & starboard? hmmm...
- little harder to light the door handles though.

Thinking it was about time for Honda to update the Fit yet again. Starting to look generic to every other micro out there. That was the great thing about the 2007 Fits - they were unlike anything out on the road. Then everyone started making cars similar to the Fit and now Honda is making the Fit look similar to everything else. OK Honda - bring back the CRX and we will be happy campers.

Personally, I dislike the rising belt line and the non-boxy rear shape.

Not too crazy about the rising rear belt line either, but maybe it's just a reaction because it's so different. I do like the design in general, I just hope they haven't cut down on the wonderful storage ability by streamlining the back that Malraux mentioned.

I understand they are upping the hp, that is going to be a welcome improvement and I can't wait to see how much difference it makes.

I don't like it. As others have said, it now looks like every other car out there. Hell, if you were quickly flashed a picture of it and then asked what you thought it was......a mini van is the first thing that comes to mind.

I bought my Fit because I like a hatchback and love how it LOOKS like a hatchback. The new Fit could pass for any SUV you see on the road.

I hate generic.

I agree with some of the comments about it looking generic. It doesn't have that sporty unique Fit look anymore. That's very disappointing, I'm starting to lose interest in Honda.

I'm kinda not liking it. Front looks like a cross breed of an Insight/Odyssey and rear just looks wrong, generic if I should put it. To me it looks like a mini-minivan now.

Ahhh those lights suck. They should leave the headlights alone.

I don't mind the minivan'ness of it, cause I miss my Trans Sport.

the transition from GD to GE is quite a success, I can easily see myself on any of the two... BUT if that truly is what the new FIT will be... I'd rather get me a Prius.

Ew, not a fan of that style at all. Looks like a minivan and an insight had a love child. At least I wouldn't have new model envy if that's what the new one looks like.

Nice to see Honda fixed the problem I can't figure out how to on a 2012 sport, bumper ledge holding dirt of any rain fall and road dust ending up on the bumper.
