They just keep getting bigger...

When I compared the sizes of the Honda Fit to the second generation Honda Accord from the early Eighties, it was a surprise.
The wheelbase of the older Fit is the same as that of an '82 Accord hatchback, and the newer Fit outweighs that Accord by a quarter ton.
This Vivid Blue Pearl '07-'08 Fit Sport has a 1.5L 16V VTEC four making 109 horsepower, while the Accord had a SOHC 1.8L carbureted engine that was rated at a very Malaise Era-feeling 75 horses.
