This is the Fit that rest of the world gets
I don't like the round lump for the fog light and I too like the USDM sport better. Not to mention we have better looking wheels. And no I don't care much about the blinker side mirrors, cost more to replace and they have those on Scions, no big deal.
Yellow would have been a nice color for the U.S. but AH probably thinks that it would not sell well here. The 2001 yellow S2000 that I bought sat on the showroom floor for about 4 months because, while it drew a lot of attention, not many people wanted that color compared to black, silver, and red.
I like the USDM MUCH better. That is way too cutesy/cartoonish for me. I like the comment Pikachu!
But I like that lower chrome trim on the grille.

I thought it was a Jazz everywhere else?
I don't like the front end at all! Bad angles, weird shaped and placed fogs, it looks like an RC car from Radio Shack. Or, the really, really short bus. No angles like ours, just one giant piece of yellow. Hmmmmmm....
But I love the Fit/Jazz in yellow and would have bought it in a heartbeat (But not the '09, not even in yellow)! To me, the S2000 looks best in that yellow and shouldn't be made in any other color. And I normally don't like or wear yellow. It just happens to suit the Fit and the S2000.
Here we go about the moonroof/skyroof again...

Before seeing the USDM in person (only in photos), I was thinking that the front overhang was too long and that I preferred the JDM version better. However, upon personal inspection, I think the USDM version looks more aggressive and substantial, especially relative to the JDM version. Perhaps it's growing on me with repeated exposures. In terms of the yellow, it wouldn't be for me but I think Honda should offer a few funky colors here in the US, especially given the Fit's personality. By the way, does anyone know if the JDM grill is interchangeable with ours, as I'm kinda liking the chrome accent?
