I'm really happy to see Taffy White back in the lineup!! Also, that black Fit w/the silver rims (photoshopped?) looks awesome. I bet a lowered white '09 Fit with gunmetal rims would look amazing.

 

hahah i opened this thinking i was going to learn something terribly wrong or extremely good with the new fit. LOL

 

yes to photoshopped. guag did it. click here and go a little down half the page. all he changed was red to black, rims and lowered. I think.

 

I work on the honda campus in Torrance, and these fits look great! I'm really jealous... LOL

 

Japanese (is it called JDM? I cannot seem to remember at this moment) 2nd gen fits have no spare tire. click here and scroll about halfway down.

 

Does anybody know how much less dealer cost on these are? Particularly a Fit Sport (either transmission). Reason why I'm asking is because I work at a Honda Parts Warehouse and I can buy any new model car for dealer cost, and I plan on getting the Fit. I would really love to get an '08 model but I have to get whatever is currently in production. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Date changed to "late September," due to some dealers that are taking deposits.

 

Invoice price on the new models won't be released to dealers until just before the cars launch.

 

Good thread. +rep

 

It is my understanding that the dealerships are now able to order the new 2009 Honda Fit. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the 2009 pricing compared to the 2008 pricing? Any information about the changes in pricing would be greatly appreciated.

Also, it is my understanding the 2009 will offer "all wheel drive". If this is the case, does your mileage suffer with this option? Any thoughts are appreciated. I would think any loss in mileage would be worth it to have this worthwhile option.

Thank you for any responses.

 

i do not believe the AWD option will be available in the US.

almost all AWD small cars do suffer from worse MPG than their 2wd conterparts. just a matter of more weight and more work for the engine.


thinking about pre-ordering a 2009 TW Sport myself... anyone able to pre-order yet?

 

Thanks!

MSRP for both is stated in the first post.
08 base mt: 13,950
09 base mt: 14,620

Somebody posted that they made a deposit at a dealer in CO (There were a couple others, but I forgot where they are. It is mentioned in the 2009 fit stickied thread.)

 

I put a deposit down on an 09 Sport at last May. The order was confirmed last Friday for manufacture on Aug 20 with delivery end of September. The dealers first order is being shipped on August 6. Good luck.

 

cool that's good to hear.

were you able to pre-order whatever you wanted, as far as options/colors specs? i want a TW sport with no nav or sunroof... that glasstop looks redic IMHO.

 

Goodness. For the millionth time, the USDM Fit has NO GLASS ROOF. Even OP says it in bold.

[edit]
Also, look at these shots! The seats look amazing!

There is no glasstop or sunroof available..

 

I ordered before the options were known. I am waiting for a return call from the salesman to confirm my order does NOT include sun roof or Nav. Thanks.

 

hahaha ok ok i got it NO SUNROOF.

 

You better call to make sure they don't give you AWD and a V8, too.

 

You crack me up!
