I was mostly just looking at the rear tailights which to me look just like the overseas 08 Jazz/Fit setup.

Interesting size & proportion comparison between the new Yaris/Vitz and new Jazz/Fit...

^^^ Cool... still would take the Fit over the Yaris any day, although modded Yaris/Vitz's are pretty sick, like Yashio Factory's from years back.

I would say the side view of the elongated nose on the U.S. version reminds me of a late 50s Maserati 450 or 300S... but you're all too young to know what I'm talking about.

Wife just returned from 5 weeks in Nihon, including a short visit to Honda's Aoyama Welcome Plaza in Tokyo.

It appears the Wife Approval Factor for the Fit is only around 60 to 70%. She liked the "elegance" of the Stream.

However, the "Eco-movement" is gaining strength, so there's still a chance for the Fit

P.S. It's a Stateside purchase so the Stream is not a choice at this point. Her choice is for another CR-V

Does the name of the company on the license plate of that black 2009 Fit with the body kit say Venti? That is an awesome looking kit frm all angles and I really like the center exhaust.

The Japan market Fit has 2 different types of tail lights that are offered and they are different than what will be offered in the states when the 09 comes out

I know there is a Venti line of rims but do they make body kits as well? If not, which kit is that?
