I like the 09 but not as much as the first gen-looks like a Prius,lot's of glass,and those headlight buckets dwarf the front end unlike the early car. I do think the larger wheelhouses will make a P1 OR 2 rim look much better than on the first gen.. As far as the ten more horsepower these are subcompacts not sports cars- i bought it because of the tremendous amount of room(500 lbs of groceries or my mountain bike"fit") and 37 mpg city with slight hypermiling. Nice to see they brought back the TW which is such agreat color on these!

JMHO

Disappointing...embarrassing...fugly beyond belief. 10 years from now, comparing the 1st gen vs the 2nd gen will be like comparing a late-60's model Mustang to a mid-80's model. Beauty vs WTF??!


2009 Fit = EPIC fail
