    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!"

    Is this really going to be the most exciting thing we have to look forward to from GM for the next *insert number of years here*?

    From the ePRS (patent pending):


    See all information previously released under "Chevy Spark".


    Hopefully this one isn't foam.

    This is clearly not US spec given the tiny butt not harassed by bumper regulations

    @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)

    @SlowMo: I like the Fit better with the USDM nose, as the JDM version looks squished.


    A better question would be: Why was this image from a Lexus forum? Has the financiapocalypse been hitting people that badly? =P

    @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.

    Transformers III - Deliverance, in which Shia Leboeuf and Megan Fox (teh hawt) travel down a Georgian back-woods river in pursuit of the International Harvester Travelallspark, while pursued by evil PWTransformers, and protected by Optimus Prime and the good trasnformers who are disguised as canoes and an ice chest full of Mickey's Wide Mouth.


    Thrill to the synthesized banjo playing of Ironhide. Cringe as Barricade tells Leboeuf he has a "real purdy vocalization orifice."

    One would've thought Bumblebee would be a hick, not these two. Instead, he turns out to be a jolly one's old bean.
