Renowned folk artist Jack Poppitz is assisting American Honda Motor Company, Inc. and the House of Blues with introducing Honda's premium entry-level Fit to North American drivers. Poppitz hand painted a Honda Fit Custom Art Car that is being auctioned on ebay.

For the month of June, Honda and House of Blues are sponsoring "Fit in the House" events at HOB clubs that include Honda Fit car displays, nightly giveaways, online and on-site branding and an enter-to-win Fit in the House Sweepstakes.

Starting at $13,850, the Honda Fit — even without being hand painted — is quite impressive. The 5-door vehicle features a 60/40 split 2nd-row Magic Seat®, allowing for four distinct interior configurations, 109-horsepower, 1.5 liter, VTEC® engine, and plenty of storage compartments. We especially like the option to add the Honda Music Link (for iPod®) that:

• Connects the iPod directly to the vehicle's audio system for the best sound quality
• Uses the audio system's controls to search for and play music from your iPod
• Charges your iPod battery while it's connected and the vehicle is on

The vehicle even came in first place in Car and Driver's May 2006 comparison test drive of the new crop of subcompacts.

The charity auction for the Honda Fit Custom Art Car began June 20 and ends June 30. So hurry up and visit Fit in the House to bid and learn more about the Honda Fit.
