people forget the Fit was originally offered here as honda's entry in the 'super econocar' wars when gas hit $4 a gallon. it since gained acclaim just on the virtue of it's basic goodness as a subcompact.

making a hybrid version, with EVEN BETTER mileage, is a no-brainer. especially as we see gas prices creeping up again.
