    The fit has competition in this thing? Hm. Maybe. This seems aimed at the "I wanna be cute and functional" demographic, and the fit seems aim at the "I wanna be frugal and functional" demographic. Give me a fit over this any day. Leave the boxes with wheels in the 1980s, please thanks.

    I'm not sure what I think. I love the original xB, always did. But this thing reminds me of the Element. I loved it when it came out, and gradually I came to dislike it. Very ugly face, and Pontiac-inspired cladding. There is something very strange about the styling on this cube and I'm not sure it will wear well for me.

  • 28-Cars-Later So Honda are you serious again or will the lame continue?
  • Fred I had a 2009 S-line mine was chipped but otherwise stock. I still say it was the best "new" car I ever had. I wanted to get the new A3, but it was too expensive, didn't come with a hatch and no manual.
  • 3-On-The-Tree If Your buying a truck like that your not worried about MPG.
  • W Conrad I'd gladly get an EV, but I can't even afford anything close to a new car right now. No doubt if EV's get more affordable more people will be buying them. It is a shame so many are stuck in their old ways with ICE vehicles. I realize EV's still have some use cases that don't work, but for many people they would work just fine with a slightly altered mindset.
  • Master Baiter There are plenty of affordable EVs--in China where they make all the batteries. Tesla is the only auto maker with a reasonably coherent strategy involving manufacturing their own cells in the United States. Tesla's problem now is I think they've run out of customers willing to put up with their goofy ergonomics to have a nice drive train.
