Likely, yes, that there will be two (2) iterations of the Fit running concurrently for the calendar year 2007 after the all-new Fit is released in Japan. The assembly line can handle that easily. The line where the Fit is being built right now can handle up to eight (8) different models all at the same time, so it would be a piece of cake for Honda to run both the current and next-gen Fit. There will be a change, naturally, at Suzuka, but it's not like they can only assemble one model at a time.
