Press Release Body = Palo Alto, CA: Anderson Direct Honda (www.andersondirect.com),
your trusted Honda Dealer in California, is pleased to announce that the all-new
2007 Honda Fit has been recognized for the highest level of standard safety
equipment of any car in its competitive set.

The 2007 Honda Fit has earned a \"5-Star\" safety rating for frontal crash performance
from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), American Honda
Motor Co., Inc., has announced. A \"5-Star\" rating is the highest government safety
rating.

\"The Fit has the highest level of standard safety equipment of any car in its
competitive set,\" said John Mendel, American Honda senior vice president. \"Fit\'s
5-Star rating demonstrates once again that Honda customers do not have to choose
between safety, utility and fuel efficiency. The Fit has it all.\"

Already a leader in vehicle safety as demonstrated by Honda\'s \"Safety for Everyone\"
initiative, Honda continues to implement leading airbag technology in all vehicles
regardless of size or price. Dual-stage, dual-threshold front airbags, dual front
side airbags and side-curtain airbags are standard equipment on all Fit models. In
addition to its six airbags, Fit incorporates 3-point seat belts at all seating
positions, as well as two Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) positions
in the rear seats. Fit also utilizes active safety systems that include an anti-lock
braking system (ABS) and electronic brake distribution (EBD).Honda is the first and
only auto manufacturer to list the NHTSA crash test \"star\" ratings on all new
vehicle window stickers.

The 2007 Honda Fit, which went on sale April 20, is designed to take the subcompact
market into new territory with its highly-refined and ultra-adaptable functionality,
sporty driving demeanor and high levels of standard safety equipment. With a vast
array of standard features - including a unique multi-configuration 60/40 split
Magic Seat(R) and an estimated EPA fuel economy of 33 mpg city / 38 mpg highway
(manual transmission) - the fun to drive Fit is a premium entry vehicle that
emphasizes style, functionality, safety and value. In a seven-way comparison test
drive, Car and Driver magazine selected Fit as its first choice among vehicles under
$15,000.
