No, it would be more than a few short years. Japanese automotive product cycles typically span four to five years, but in the case of the JDM Fit it was actually six years. So by purchasing the next generation at the beginning of it's life cycle, you enjoy driving the more desirable generation with the latest technology long enough to pay it off (if you bought the car on credit), and be better prepared to buy the next generation with the latest technology when it's introduced.
