Crystal Black is my color of choice. It is a classic color and all of the parts on the exterior like the grill, window surrounds, wipers, etc. are black as well. The factory rims look good with it and If I decide to black chrome the rims it will look great. Black IMO when waxed correctly will give the deepest glassy mirror finish to the car.

I have to say I agree with you Kipdip that black looks awesome on the Fit, especially with some aftermarket rims. Regardless of one's color preference, it's hard to argue that a freshly washed/waxed black car doesn't look striking. The big drawback is that here in Michigan I'd be washing the car every day and, unfortunately, I don't have that much time or energy anymore. When you get one make sure to post some pics. Good luck!

It is in the garage! It was just cleaned by the dealer but I have not waxed it yet. My wife made me promise to wash it every week min. and wax it every 3 months in order for me to get the black. So I guess my life just got busier. I will have to find the camera for the pics.

I've got the black (duh, look at my name), and chose it because it makes the Fit look so much more expensive outside. This is my 5th black car too.

That said, I don't think there's a color in the chart that the Fit looks bad in. They all look great!

Funny, I don't like the '08 in black, but the '09 looks better in black. Maybe because it seems a totally different car to me...The '08 seemed too much like a "fun" car to be black...while the new gen. is more of a serious car. I thought I wanted a black car this time but not in a Fit. At least not in an '08.

That silver with a good tint is hard to beat.

My top choice was the tidewater blue, but the one I finally bought was orange revolution. I saw a number of light blue cars on the road and they all looked kind of boring. the orange on the other hand, says "i am one of a kind" - just the image i want to project. I wish all Fits have bright jewel tones.

I chose silver because I am boring and like silver and gray.

As for what will most popular? White probably.

Variety is the spice of life. I'm glad Honda is offering some different/bold colors. Your ultimate choice also depends on your climate.

Keep those pics coming! I'm a pic whore
