The is great and all, but if you’re going off-grid what you really want is this custom Honda Fit. Behold the e:HEV CROSSTAR.

Because the only thing better than sports car safari conversions is turning an unassuming commuter car like the into a rough and tumble off-roader. Just look at that Yakima rack, complete with Pelican cases. And those steel wheels wrapped in Toyo all-terrains!

Honda Japan will introduce this adorable Fit — along with at least one other customized car — starting late next week on a new website, Car Watch .

A careful look at the N-Van does not reveal any Honda Design badges, though I suspect that’s more for maintaining a clean look on its polished finish than any clue to the lunch truck N-Van’s provenance.

The custom Fit’s designation is a tipoff that the car is a hybrid. Recall that the next generation Honda Fits are getting the hybrid drivetrain. If the name isn’t enough of a clue, then look at those LED fog lights, which come in the universal (partially) electrified blue color.

This custom Fit only makes us sadder that the Fit is destined for our shores. All it takes is one look at the little off-roader to convince us that the Fit is truly a Swiss Army knife automobile.
