2009 Honda Fit

It seems like only yesterday when we welcomed your cute and cheery presence to these shores, praising your ability to do so much while asking for so little in return. We're talking about the little Honda Fit, which thanks to rising fuel prices and its general popularity saw an 87-percent increase in sales last year. Clearly, there are plenty of you out there interested in diminutive transportation.
