I don't like Honda as they make too many SHOC engines when most competitors have DOHC engines. Their styles don't get me too exited either. The 2008 Scion equivalent of the Fit looks a lot better.

First off, the fit only gets 38 mpg highway with one driver on a flat highway under ideal conditions, When you load it up on hills or highway uphill grades I hear the mielage is appauling! How on earth does Honda expect to achieve 55mpg? with the current underpowered engine? What about safety improvements?
