Yep. I love how the media keeps calling them "B" cars or "microcars" like it is some cool new trend straight from Japan...
When we start getting the true microcars, like the Smart and some of those other 600cc-1000cc tiny things that are popular in Japan, THAT would be something more or less new to this market, at least in the modern era.

The Aveo was there and I believe the Korean's had a car, too (as well as the abysmal Echo), but the Fit is light-years ahead of those cars and still way ahead of the newer versions that came out with it. Is the Fit a significant car in the US? Yes. Is it incredibly radical? No. It is simply a phenomenal version of a car in its segment that is no doubt going to grow and will dominate the segment if Honda can build enough of them.
Have you driven a Fit? Aveo's are rolling garbage cans but acting like the Fit is a "phenomenal version" for the segment is pretty ludicrous.
I spent a lot of seat time in Aveo's and the newer ones are not that far behind the Fit.
