The best thing about our Gen I Fit's are they have been time tested about five years before we got them. So hang in there a while let the other folks work out all the kinks in the new ones, then buy a gen II like two or three years down the line. We got an awesome vehicle now, enjoy it, it will hold it's value...just my 2 cents.

This is an excellent point about Honda. In Japan, it is well-accepted that whoever buys an all-new model from Honda in the first year is beta-testing for the company. Honda cars change all the time, esp. in areas that you cannot see. The new Fit will likely be modified in about a year after its release in Japan (and again and again). North America will not have to go through this beta test year, thank God.
