Remember the super-nerd movies of the early 80s? You remember the type: an underachieving dorkus winds up winning over the masses/defeating the evil jocks/saving the world thanks to brains instead of brawn. He usually wound up with the babe at the end, too. Think “Weird Science,” “Real Genius,” or the granddaddy of them all, “Revenge of the Nerds.”
The Honda Fit is one of these super-nerds. One glance and it’s pure nerdlinger, even if it is slathered in Blaze Orange and sporting alloy wheels, fog lights and a body kit like our test car. Check out those big goofy headlights! The little bitty wheels! The ramrod upright proportions! If it could take its shirt off, you just know it would be the palest white you’d ever seen.
