As an owner of the current Fit ('07 US Spec), I think the other
posters here are on to something. The Fit is really what the Civic
was 2 generations ago. The current Civic has been upsized to be what
an Accord was a few years ago and the Accord is quite the mid-size now
bordering on to what full size was a few years ago. I don't know if
this trend is because consumers demanded more for their money or if US
consumers have gotten too fat to fit in the cars. Only half kidding
there....:-)

Anyway, either model isn't bad (the 08 or the 07) and if you go
towards the Civic, you won't be disapointed either, really. I think
it comes down to what you like, can afford, and feel comfortable in.
Have fun!
