I bought a brand new 2009 Fit (black/ auto/ base) on November 2008.

I might be in the market for another car very soon and another FIT is at the top of the list. The 2011 should be out in a few months, should I wait for it or just get a 2010?

I cannot find info about the 2011 Fit anywhere.

 

there are rumors of a hybrid Fit--but I seriously doubt it--Honda doesn't make changes to models that often. My guess is it will be pretty much the same as the 09-10 Fit. At least I hope so cuz I just bought a 2010 model.

 

the 2011 is going to have a turbo charged engine as well as a hybrid version that is going to give it 60mpg hwy. also, it will come with a 6 spd manual transmission as an option along with a sunroof.

 

^^^^source?

 

^my dream. hahaha

 

dont do that to me. not funnnyyy

 

What is the typical length of time Honda uses for it's mid-cycle refreshes these days?

 

Since 2009 was the first year for the current body style, 2011 will probably at most see a change in taillight lenses and maybe a new grill.

 

That would be a much welcomed change. I'm not crazy about any of the tail light options out there for the GE.

 

It'd be funny if the tail light change equated to base jdm tails.

 

hopefully the new tails are red/clear led.

 

Ok, so we no little to nothing about the 2011 Fits.

Do we at least know when we can start getting some info about them?

I am poised to get a second FIT and don't want to get a 2010 if the 2011 will be different in ways I like.

 

I dont know how reputable this source is but check this out.

Disguising the car doesn't really work when you know what's underneath.

 

Haha, if they had just left it alone, nobody would even know it's a test mule.

 

It probably won't change in any major ways, maybe a small feature or two. I'd wait and see, if you don't need the car right away.

 

That's whack - like someone went crazy with electrical tape. And they think that disguises the car???? What are they smoking????

Ha ha ha! It's a racoon!!!

 

So would you consider this Fit?

You have to remember that 67 mpg is most likely the imperial gallon which is slightly different than the american gallon. I'm pretty sure Autocar is a British publication. 67 mpg (imperial) is 55 mpg (american).

Either way if I was in the market for a hybrid (im not) I would get any car that doesn't have the stupid rear ends that the Prius and new Insight have. I'd just wait for a production Porsche 918 Roadster Hybrid!

I Just got back from the dealer where I bought my 2009 Fit from 18 months ago (base/ auto).

I'm in need for a second car, so I wanted to buy a Sport/ Manual so it feel different than my other Fit since i'm keeping it but they had zero Manual Sports in stock and none comming in.

They also told me they couldn't come close to the price that others are paying for the Manual Sport (between $17,200-$17,500 OTD).

I guess I will wait for the 2011s to hit the market then try to make a deal.
Dealers have so few in stock, they are not even going to "think" about not making much on them.

Bummer.

 

This is SOP for Honda. They never overstock their lots, never over-produce a car, keep the supply low and the demand high is their marketing strategy. It can backfire on them, when people want a certain car and there aren't enough of them to meet demand. But it keeps them from having to give big discounts to get rid of the over-supply at the end of the model year.

If I had waited another couple of weeks before starting to look for my Fit, I would not have been able to find any 2008s. As it was I had to call all over the South to find one in my color preference. And I think I bought the last available BBP Sport AT anywhere - there weren't any more coming over from Japan and everyone had already snatched up the remaining stock.
