Ok I went to the site, Had to update Flash to load the page. Now I'm there and all I get is a really cool zoom feature on the picture, but can't find the article.

ANd this is the first time I have ever hear of the Fit refered to as a sports car

It should be the second article listed under Featured on the main page. There doesn't appear to be a way to link directly to the article.

OK Figured it out

...you don't have to look at the ForTwo as a small multi-function vehicle. You can look at is as an inexpensive sports car...

Well Duh. I Guess that is the problem everyone is having.

For an absolutely wretched and unintuitive web site, the article is not only well written but has some excellent insight. Thanks to all for "debugging" the clunky site!!
