Had enough of Octo-mom? Me too.
How about Octo-Fit? Apparently, we may have that covered soon.

Let me guess... the spare is for when the transmission blows up on the primary one?

Great post, Albert!
Your humor works because both cars are the same color!

I'll take the spare, I even like the color.

I'm amazed more than one person would choose that color

That's funny. I've seen a few of those radioactive pumppkin Fits on the road. Eye-catching colour, but I think I might tire of it quickly.

I like that colour. In an endless sea of bland silver and beige cars, it's nice to see something with the guts to stand out.

Compliance, drive around the UT campus. You'll see a ton of cars in that shade.

I really can't stand how that little piece of trim on the back is black.

I saw the new Fit at the local auto show in that color. The market it caters would love that color. My wife absolutely loved the car!

The ugly just can't be contained. I was only joking about the two Fits before. I know that's probably not the case but I'm going to expect the unexpected.

I think this particular color looks good for now but may not last as a preferred color in the future. While I think it fits the sporty theme of the car and makes for a nice change of pace, I am not certain that it would be as popular five years from now on the used market.
That being said, the colors white, black, silver and red to me seem to be a bit too plain for this car. I do like the light and dark blues and the dark purple colors though.
