Also called the Jazz in some parts of the world, the first of the Honda Fit generations arrived in the US years after the fact, only settling as a 2007 model amid high fuel prices. It was small, buzzy, and lightweight, but its thrifty fuel consumption, superb space utilization, and Magic Seats in the back endeared it to owners. It was on the market for only two model years when the redesign of the Honda Fit made its appearance as a 2009 model with a slightly bigger body, better comfort and refinement, and a slightly more powerful engine. That was the second of the Honda Fit generations. The third generation was roomier and better equipped, but not everybody liked the more toy-like styling with the sharp side crease. It would be the last Fit sold in the US.

The facelift of the Fit improved the car, but did not warrant enough interest to prompt a replacement, so Honda let it be.

Mazda has refined the Mazda 3 to greatness - and there's more improvement on the horizon.

The station wagon was a staple of American consumer market in the 50s until the 70s. Here's how the station wagon became obsolete.

Mazda's best-seller can't afford to fall behind the competition when the new generation arrives.

The looks and the tech have been updated, but both to a lesser degree than the SUV needs.

Sometimes giving people what they want is a poor business decision.

The German off-road legend nearly had an American counterpart. But then Jeep stopped its Mighty FC project.
