Recalling the QOTD last week, I saw a brand new Fit on the road today.

Sweet Jeebus, what did Honda do to that car? It looks like a Chinese knockoff. There's no integration of design. It's just a mishmash of lines, textures, and color. The proportions are all wrong. It's just... blehh.

For comparison

Cars nowadays have to look angry and bloated. I hate that. What happened to the happy, simple cars of yesteryear?

When I 1st saw the new fit I said outloud. "THEY RUINED IT!" such a shame what happened to conservative Japanese styling? Its all cheesy unnecessary aggressive now.

The Elantra looks like it's about to be pulled into a black hole. It's still a work of art compared to the Fit.

I really like the first gen Fit that we got here in the U.S. It has gotten uglier ever since in my opinion.

I prefer the first, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with this generation. I actually think it looks better in profile, but the rear of the GD8 Sport is cleaner. It's a toss up.

They should've evolved this design instead of trying to make it look aggressive.
