    It'll always be Aphid to me.


    Even if Aphid ended up with the rear door handles from a Jeep fucking Compass.

    They should have called it the "Inca." Because it's got Jimmy Durante's nose.

    Nice rip-off of the Honda Civic 5-door's hidden door handles (although a clever idea, to be sure).


    Not that Honda's listening, but "Hey Honda! Why can't we get the 5-door Civic in North America? I promise I'd buy one!"

    From the ePRS (patent pending):


    See all information previously released under "Chevy Spark".

    @Syrax supports engineerd's star: Wow. Thanks for the comparison between the JDM and US spec Fit. However, I think your fears about the rear bumper growing should pale in comparison to what might happen to the nose. Look at that thing! The nose looks like it grew 6 inches! Yikes! The Beat's nose is already out of proportion, making it bigger will really make that car hideous. A tiny little 1st gen TSX-like bumper won't be such a bad thing, hell it might even start to offset the huge nose.

    Hey, wait a minute, didn't the Japanese used to make fun of Americans having big noses? (like the old WWII propaganda posters and such) Is this some kind of ethnic jab?
    (just kidding. but, the JDM version is much better looking with the smaller 'non-American' nose)

    @Syrax supports engineerd's star: Bumper regs. Don't get me started. If the bumper is painted the same color as the car, it's vestigial at best. There is no need for it to withstand a 3 MPH hit if you are going to have to repaint/replace the damn thing (at considerable expense) anyway.


    Somebody get hold of the token Republican running the DOT and remind him of this, so we can dispense with this needless BS.

    It's a nice looking little car. It doesn't have that boring economy car look.


    That being said, it's front profile looks like Foghorn Leghorn's beak.

    This can only help Ford sell a butt-load of Fiestas. The styling of this one has too much crap going on. In fact, I'd wager it has about 61.5% too much crap going on.

    @graverobber: Jay Wert Hacked my Sig!: I liked this the first few times I saw it, but now it looks... tired, cheap, tacky. The Ford I've seen a lot more times, and it still looks kinda funky, kinda stylish.


    That's not a good sign. It means that in a year or so, once they're no longer a novelty, the Chevy isn't going to be selling all that well... at least, that's my prediction.

    @Deartháir: Yeah, every time I see that Fiesta, the more I want one of those little bastards. In that self-same green colour I saw on Top Gear, five or six times in a row.


    In fact, I'm about ready to vow that once I graduate college and have some sort of money I will trade my Prius for a brand new 3- or 5- door Fiesta.

    With that "sucking a lemon" face, and the fact that it has chubbed up for its role as Chevy's euro-focused small car, they should call it the Chevy Renee Zellweger.
