Sorry guys, I bought the Fit.

Not so. It was named the Fitta, until Honda's marketers learned that was a vulgar name for female genitalia in the Scandinavian languages, so they shortened it to Fit.

It's a nice little car, though. (That does look like a mini-minivan.)

That may be the case. However Honda clearly has designed a car that focuses on maximizing space efficiency in the sub-compact class allowing people to "fit" just about anything. In much of the world "Jazz" is the name of this car anyway.

The nameplate Jazz is used in Europe, some parts of Asia, Australia, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa - while retaining the name "Fit" in Japan, China, and the Americas.

Congrats on the new car.
