    Great. But the RLX sure as hell is much improved over the Fit, hands down. I haven't seen the new Fit but a 2006 Fit vs. a 2006 RL... no comparison.

    Besides, Honda tends to cut corners in places you see. Toyota tends to cut corners in places you don't see... until recently, then they started doing what Honda did.

    lol. I'm a car guy, and I have trouble explaining Infiniti's new strategy to non-car people. (And don't get me started on Lincoln. They all start with MK except the Navigator)

    I have no idea what an RLX is, but I was not saying the Fit is the biggest or most expensive or most anything car. I said I think it is a great value.

    I know, I meant to express my understand for said value. Sorry that wasn't clear. I would pick the Fit over the Yaris (Except the 2006-2007 Fit. I'd take the 2006-2007 Yaris)
