First Drive: 2009 Honda Fit
The wheelbase has been increased 2 inches to 98.4 inches, while the overall length goes up 2.2 inches to 153.5 inches. The Fit is also 0.8 inch wider, while the front track is 1.4 inches wider and the rear track is 1.2 inches wider. It's surprising that the overall weight gain is a meager 22 pounds.

I think you're confusing me with mahout. I'm just pointing out that the facts you're using refer to the Japanese model, which you failed to mention. We don't know the US numbers yet. I also doubt there will be a 200 lbs. difference. But as for what we know... we don't.

Honda released prices of 09 Fit today
Model description MSRP
8729ew m/t $14,550.00

I called Jim back about the destination charges and he said that was in the MSRP. At the bottom of the sheet he fax me it said destination and handling charges are $670, so I assume the prices were plus des but I was wrong.
This is no bs,I got a copy from my Honda dealer today.

I could have sworn that I read in the past that it included BlueTooth. I don't see anything on the Honda news release about it now, and it isn't on this page:
2009 Honda Fit - The Official Honda Web Site
I thought it used to be.

i read from one of the reviews that it came from the civic along with the steering wheel. carry overs. so if anyone knows what comes with the civic then you'll know what kind of navi it is.

I waited for worse MPG?
I think I'm going to be checking out some other cars if the Fit is going to get lower mileage than last years. I might check out the Matrix since they are now so close if you compare the 5spd manuals. I'm just glad that when I put $ down on the Fit I allowed myself a way out of the contract in case I find something better.
Looks like the final drive and 4th gear ratios changed a bit
