Exclamation OMG, pics and a video of the ORANGE fit inside!

Saw this one parked down the street from my house. WTF, does everyone buy fits here by the beach?


The orange is really light... looks like copper. Looks good. Looks better than the blue and I'm a total blue snob.



VIDEO: YouTube - 2009 Honda Fit ORANGE

(remember to watch it in HIGH QUALITY via the link under the video)

PICS:

Awesome! The vid (esp high quality vid) really helps because you see the bright highlights!

I'm relieved it looks good and brighter than the Blaze Orange. It reminds me of the new Toyota Matrix in orange.

Thanks! If I could give you rep I would! We've been dying to see this color, and now I think if I got an '09, I'd pick orange instead of bbp. I love this color too!

WANT!

I don't really like it. Looks like vomit. Bom looks better IMO.

hah looks pretty similar to me, and i have a BOM... would have to park them side by side..

i'm going to watch the dealerships to see if i can find one eventually to compare.. i just want to check out an 09.. haha they're starting to grow on me. it has plenty of potential.. just not as much as the GD

BOM looks a lot less intense to my eyes, almost washed-out. If you scroll down from the first photo to Rod2Rice's sig photo, you can see the obvious difference in shade. They are still in the same family, but not that close. Orange Revolution has more yellow in it, and is more of a true orange, although not as orange as I'd hoped for. I think BOM looks the more coppery and "burnt." But to each his own.

That Made My Day! Wondering About The Orange And

It appears much more tasteful than the previous orange. Now all I need to do is wait! Dropped off my 2008 with 3800 miles on it today for the trade.

I agree- it looks just like my '07, at least in those photos.

looks like BOM with the contrast cranked up a little.

reminds me a little of the nissan 350Z orange.

Just what I was afraid of, it looks exactly like the new Matrix orange. It looks like this when you do a build your own on Honda's website, and and I was hoping that it wouldn't look the same. Oh well. I guess it's blue sensation for me, unless the taffeta white just looks amazing in pictures.

Finally a real pic of the new orange. Looks awesome! I pre ordered one that should get here in a few weeks. I can't wait to see it in person.

I think it's an improvement (not exactly what I was hoping for either) over the BOM, however, I still would need to see it "live." Overall, regardless of color, I think the car looks so much better in person. For some reason, some photos make the snout look too long, but, imho, it looks handsome in the flesh.

BTW, if you want to see a couple pics of the TW, check out the following thread: My 09 Taffeta White.

I think a nice touch to the 07-08 is the body colored light bezels, they should have carried that over.
