Has anyone notice that the 2009 USDM Honda Fit looks a bit like mercedes 08 B-Class benz ??? Am i the only one that thinks these two cars are alike in the exterior or does anyone agree ??

 

The fit 09 looks like the new matrix imo... sad

 

I think the shape of the 09 fit does look a bit like the new matrix... but imo i think 09 fit looks nicer due to its panoramic pillar side windows and fit has nicer interior than matrix....

 

from one of the angles it almost looks like a versa

 

the 09 fit looks a little bit like a pile of crap.

oh wait... it is.

jk
but really, i don't like it.

 

The tail lights look a bit like versa but i think 09 fit is way more stylish.. for the price range of the fit, i think the 09 fit looks decent and is a decent choice imo, if you're in the market for a new car and wants something affordable and saves gas, which iam... just have to wait for it to come out to see the real thing... in the process of deciding to buy new 09 or used 07 fit.

Does anybody know the drag coefficient of the two fit versions? I think both have merits. They're just different.

 

Personally, I like the '08 better than the '09 in appearence.
Also, I don't like the fact that they eliminated the spare tire.


On Honda appearences;

Honda has always had the nack of borrowing certain design elements from other manufactures but yet keeping it their own. And somehow making their designs stand the test of time without looking "dated" in a few years. The 90's Civics I still see on the road still look like they belong.
My '93 Civic's back end, I always thought, was taken from a 300 series BMW. I've noticed other BMW similarities in other Honda models throughout the years as well.
Anyone else agree?

 

09 looked RED-ER...(is that a word?)

 

does the 09 has the options for sun roof/ moon roof?

 

Reminds me of an EP hatch

 

09 looks... meaner, somehow. They put angry eyes on the Fit!

 

Its a picture.

The 09 looks like the new Matrix/Vibe. Not similar, identical.
And ugly to me.

 

Honda Matrix:

 

Yes i do agree with you, i think honda did copy some of the german car styles and made it their own. Also they did a pretty good job for the fit and civic interiors. For an affordable price you get a very decent interior better than most cars in that price range. i personally think the new 09 fit car style lines look a bit like the b-class. For example, the wider wheel fender at the rear, how the car sits and the black antenna on the roof at the back. To answer the moon roof/sun roof question someone posted earlier, i do not think the 09 fit will get panoramic roof/sky roof option yet, don't if they ever will, maybe later down the road i guess. On the other hand, the b-class does have the panoramic roof option for their cars in north america so i don't get why honda didn't make the sky roof avaliable for their 09 fit in NA.

 

2009 Fit and 2009 Matrix

2009 Matrix


Comparted to the Fit....the Matrix must have some mean blind spots.

 

hehe nice

 

Yep. When I first saw the new Fit design I immediately thought of the MB A and B class. The single-plane hood and windshield, the curvature of the roofline, side window shapes, and clean, understated design is apparent in both cars. While the Matrix is basically the same shape (5-door hatch), it has much smaller and fewer windows, more curves/bulges, and general busyness going on that neither the M/B or Fit do.
