The five-door going on sale in the U.S. in April is, unfortunately, not as cute as the three-door model sold elsewhere in the world. At least it's well equipped, with six air bags, ABS, air conditioning, power windows, locks, and mirrors, and a CD stereo all standard.

...
I am suprised that the VP of marketing said that the Life will be sold in the US. I haven't heard that tidbit of info anywhere. i wonder if that will play out to be true...

Also, what three door Fit model are you referring to? I thought the only counterpart to the Fit Hatch was the Fit Aria sedan...

Default Matrix Clone

The Fit looks a lot like the Matrix. Even the top is shaped like it. It looks ok, but I don't know if it'll be as reliable as a Toyota though.

Reliability shouldn't be an issue for the Fit.

1) Design is around 5 years old. There really shouldn't be much "first year" bugs to work out.
2) The FITs that the US are getting will be made in Japan, which is good for fit/finish and reliability.

I like the FIT - just curious to see how it compares to the Xb interms of space.

More Honda Life pics:







And, check out these pics I found for the Honda Life Stepvan from the 70's. They should remake this!

For a minute, I thought it was a photo chop of a acura RSX and an Aveo.

Yeah, I think that the Aveo, and possibly the Suzuki Aerio, have more to worry than Scion.
