Personally, Iove the styling of the Fit Sport. My wife plans to get a red one
in several months. She just got
a promotion and a car allowance is part of the package.

My wife thought that she wanted a Yaris until she saw one 'in the tin' and
so we spent half that much on a 2003 Civic EX! Thanks to all of you new car
buyers that provide product to us used car buyers!!

Just saw my first 2-door Yaris (hatch?), tiny tiny tall little car.
Good formula, really, I think. A lot smaller than the four-door by my
eyeballing, I haven't looked up the specs.

The only current Fit is 4-door (5-door), right?

Isn't the Yaris just the Echo/Scion mechanicals wrapped in a different skin?

Dunno.

Replaces the Echo in market slot, more or less.
