The debate will be settled by the marketplace. If gas prices head North again, maybe mainstream consumers will give up a few feet of legroom for maximum fuel economy. The Nihon Keizai Shumbum report said that Honda is targeting fuel economy for the Fit hybrid in the 60-mpg range. As a subcompact, the Fit is cute and small—but has over 90 cubic feet of passenger volume (only slightly less than the midsize Accord) and 21.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity, nearly as much room as a Honda Element. The 60/40-split folding rear seats even allow the Fit to do some minor hauling. In that light, the Honda Fit hybrid—or the new Fit-esque hybrid—could be viewed as a more practical four-door version of the Honda Insight.

It's unlikely that a Honda hybrid subcompact would sell anywhere near $12,000. The new conventional Fit subcompact is priced starting between $13,000 and $14,000. Commonly, the hybrid version of vehicle sells for a couple of thousand dollars more than its conventional sibling. Even with the hybrid premium, its price will beat out the Civic Hybrid by approximately $5,000 and a Prius by $7,000 or more. The gas-only Fit is powered by a 109-horsepower 1.5-liter, four-cylinder VTEC engine. The Fit-like hybrid, according to our less than fully reliable , will utilize a 1.0-liter engine.
