North America will not have to go through this beta test year, thank God.

I see this in my reliability results at TrueDelta.com. New designs often start with high repair rates, but then these sometimes fall quickly as the manufacturer identifies and fixes design flaws. I promptly update the reliability results quarterly, so it's possible to quickly learn of any improvements.
With the 2009 Fit, I'm liking the exterior, but the interior is a mess. Way too many circles, and what's with the tumorous bulge on the passenger side of the IP? Organic interior contours are so mid-1990s.
