Honda Fit is the only one I like in this group. But why doesn't C&D include Scion xb?

Hmmm...

I agree that Honda should be #1. They do a great job with compact cars (see Civic). And since I haven't driven any of these cars, I would have to just wonder: what went into the scoring and grading of these cars?

Let's have an attachment of the article, please. That would be great!

Toyota Yaris 4th?

I haven't driven the Honda Fit yet, but the Toyota Yaris is very fun to drive..

The Yaris center-mount gauges work heavily against it in an otherwise well-designed and well-built compact car. Toyota and Scion, as well as some other vehicles like the Nissan Quest and Saturn Ion, should dump that layout, put the gauges back where they belong in the driver's forward-sight-view, and top making excuses why they can't...or won't.

So dead right!

I know you are saying your own thing, but Toyota sells more Yaris's than Camry's, and they are very sucessful around the world. They will hardly be persuaded to drop their "thing" and do something else, when Yaris continues to break every sales record it can.

Not here in the US where our tastes are a bit different.

It's not our tastes, but our buffet-loving, Texas BBQ addicted, "I go on the Weinershnetzel diet" Fat ***** that like big cars and SUVs.

I liken our American tastes to Texas mentality: the bigger the truck, the bigger the steak, the bigger the hair-do, the bigger the cowboy hat, the bigger the women = the better. Why get a small sedan when we need Escalades to pick up groceries or go to the post office?

While I agree that our cars are getting bigger and bigger to fit our bigger and bigger bodies, my point was in relation to the center mounted gauges and people's preference (or lack there of) for them. All of these cars in this topic are roughly the same size.

PS - I've been to TX many times. If I were to move there, I would get the biggest truck I could -simply to protect myself since EVERYBODY there drives a truck and being in a compact car is just scary down there.

tastes are there to be changed :-). We will see what happens to sales of Yaris when it comes out.
Scions xA and xB are selling great too.
