Honda launched the subcompact Fit in the U.S. in 2006 as a new entry-level model and a third-generation model debuted in 2015. But changing consumer tastes undermined demand for the Fit -- U.S. sales peaked at 79,794 in 2008 -- and Honda said it could no longer make a economic case for the Mexico-built vehicle. The HR-V subcompact crossover, as well as certain Civic trims, will become Honda's entry-level model.
