I can. It's too much power for too little money. Just encourages young, upstarts like you and I to experience the thrill of a high powered, low cost sports car right before the heavy hand of reality bitch-smacks us upside the head with 2.5 kids, a white picket fence and an underpowered FWD minivan.

Fuck Nissan.
you get the minivan if you want, i'm saving up for a honda fit. i may get lame, but i'll insist on smart thinking and quality engineering in my lameness...

I really like the Fit. Probably my favorite small car next to the Mini.

I went with the Civic, but if they had had a Fit Sport with the 5 speed on the lot it'd have been a close one.

i really like the civic (more than the fit), but i don't really feel like spending the extra money, and the extra hatch space in the fit would be convenient.

just keep the civic, you don't need the minivan, people just foolishly think they do. you can just rent the extra capacity if the need ever arises...

Here's the problem. We're engaged almost in a sort of reverse evolution. idiots are breeding like jackrabbits. Intelligent people, however, in large measure, are choosing your route. Pursing their own interests etc. Not having kids for ecological reaons. Not having kids for economical reasons. Not having kids simply because they don't see why they should. Basically opting out of the whole breeding game.
hey, i'm breeding. i want to be a parent, and i'm looking forward to it. i know a fair number of pretty smart people with kids, so i'm not sure the theory holds water. i think the idiots get the publicity, but they did even a hundred years ago (think of all the "social improvement" movements and eugenics crap, and the stories used to justify it).

the species will survive, inspite of the stupidity of the individuals. we may suffer a civilizational crash in the process, but in our own materialistic ignorance, we may very well deserve that...

The problem is that you'll have one or two kids while the idiots will have 7. :roflmao:

Agreed. It's really an incredible little car. I heard they were contemplating a hybrid version at some point. That would rock. 5 speed, Fit hybrid? Shit. Sign me up. I'd trade in the Civic tomorrow.

Yep. It's like that fucking "Duggar" family that's whelping out, what, 17 kids now or some shit. You'd like to think that one or two of their spawn will rebel and get an education, become conscious, thinking adults. But you know the vast majority won't. They'll follow their parents right to the 'end times'.

i'll tell you what we really need, wally. we need an AWD fit sport. honda needs to find a way to come up with a lighter version of the sh-awd used by acura and keep fuel economy up. i'd probably even go as far as adding a small turbo.

AWD fit? count me in.

That would be sweet. I was considering a fit before I bought the Subaru. I only like the 09's, though and they're like $16-17k for the Sport Edition. It is a little too small for me and worries me if I ever got in an accident - and I know they have side impact aribags but they can only do so much getting hit my a Yukon.

I can't remember if it were the Yaris or Fit that had very close slalom speeds to the 911.

Quite different from what I saw on the way to work today. On a two-lane side road, just as Duran Duran's "The Reflex" came on the radio, a DeLorean passed me coming from the other direction. It was the mid-1980's in Louisville for like 3 seconds.
