With that look , practicality , i-VTEC engine and CVT transsmision - It should be Car of the Year 2008 . My cheque is ready !!!

I hope my golf will stay together until the new fit comes out.

I was almost raedy to trade in for an 07/08, but this looks like it's worth the wait, and it'll give me a year to improve my credit score :-P

I'm not sold... it looks like a miniature Toyota Sienna. I LOVE the sunroof, and the extra power is great (if it doesn't cost me any MPG), but other than that....nah

This makes things more complicated... ARGH

Do I keep my Chevy til the Fall of 08 to get the 09 or do I go out and buy the 08 now?????????

I'm I the only one that think it's ugly?

The front lights and air intakes look nice. I don't like the rest of it. The front windshield looks too big, and the back, and side-view makes it look way to much like a minivan. Also, why does every new generation of a car have to be bigger? I don't want a bigger car. Scion did the same thing with their new generations. We finally got some small cars back in the US when the Scions and Honda Fit came to the US, but now they are just getting bigger. I think this is definitely a step down in looks.

I'm sure with aftermarket accessories it would look better... nah it's just terrible looking.

I hope we get the big sunroof, but i highly doubt it..Plus it would add a good 2500$ to the car..If it was a option i would pass..

This is the way I see it from reading the posts:

07/08 Fit owner says:

09 Fit looks ugly.

09+ Fit future owner says:

09 Fit looks awesome!

If cars never improved we'd be driving freaking model Ts...

Seriously though, its normal for cars to move up. So that means more feature content, more safety features, more interior space, more engine power, etc. The funny thing is that if the Civic for example never moved up, then there wouldnt be a reason to have the Fit in the model lineup.

And btw, Honda isnt going to do the same thing to the Fit that was done to the new xB and the xD. The Edmunds article states the 09 has a minimal increase in weight and they even said it handles better than the current model.

Its a stereotype. I wasnt applying it to everyone. It's just something that I have noticed.

BTW I like both models. I dont hate on either one. Honda love right?

i like it. but.. i swear it reminds me of a guinea pig or hamster..

my biggest gripe is i want one that gets 45mpg or better...

If the 2009 Fit comes with a diesel engine you might get close to 45 MPG. I am hearing (OK, reading) rumors that the 2009 might have a diesel, or maybe the 2010. Doesn't Honda have a 1.3 liter diesel that it sells in Europe or Asian countries???

I think the current Fit was brought to America to give the 2009 model buzz. Honda only anticipated selling 40k Fit for '07 model year, and lucky for us sold almost double.

Maybe Honda is learning it's lesson after the Miata crushed the Del Sol. If Honda didn't release the Fit now, Versa and Yaris would have an edge in consumer confidence in 2008 when the Fit intended for America arrived. In '08 when Yaris and Versa are still the same, Honda will have an all new Fit with more power and more features, backed by all the rep the current gen gets.

That white Fit RS will be mine!

Well, I dont really like the exterior, I much prefer the one I got now. The interior looks quite nice though.

The 'third' generation Fit will likely be about the same size as the current Odyssey mini van.

What started out as a cute, cult car will eventually become a big bloated big beast.
