Need a Translation, Please - 04-08-2009, 12:11 PM

I have recently bought a Honda Fit...who's slogan is:

FIT IS GO!

Can Anyone tell me what this is in Japanese b/c every translation thing I use is different. Thank you.

I don't even understand what the English thing means so I think this can have many many many translations depends on how each person interprets what essentially is marketing slogans.

Having watched a couple of TV commercials for the car in which the phrase is used, the best that I can come up with would be:

フィットの出番だ!

Attention: Don't trust online translations. They usually give you gibberish.

It's thanks to Babelfish that I have a job. As long as machine translation sucks, I'll still be paid to translate.

No way. There's no point in translating "Fit", which is a proper noun in this case. We never say 行くある, either.
