2013 Honda Fit Named One of Sportiest Family-Oriented Cars

Jason Croom
When Automobile Magazine put out a list of what they consider to be the ten sportiest family-oriented vehicles in the country, there were very few people that expected the 2013 Honda Fit to be among them.

Jason Croom
Every automaker in the world likes to talk about how "green" they've become in recent years, particularly as it pertains the kinds of vehicles they put out in showrooms.
