More articles on the Fit and competition

Posted a few articles earlier, but thought I'd put them all in one place in case anyone needs to refer to them later. The Fit seems to be the gold standard against which the competition is compared. Maybe Honda intentionally limited 2007 Fit production to create a high demand so they can whammy competitors with the 2008 version -- maybe built in the U.S. (Indiana?) :confused: to eliminate import fees.
