When do you guys think we will see the next generation Fit? 2013 or 2014 model? I'm curious to see how it will turn out.

 

the GD was what, 01-08?
so probably more like 15-16 if they plan to continue it

 

I'm predicting 2015 since the refresh usually happens in the middle years. Japan will usually have it a year earlier so we might find out as early as next year.

 

I am about to buy the 2012 Fit, but with only a few months away from the 2013's arrival, I wonder if I should wait. It seems that most people think 2013 won't have any changes.

 

The standard 5 year Honda cycle is three years with a new model, then a "mid cycle refresh" (which in this case is the 2012 Fit) for two more years.

Sometimes the cycle gets pushed longer in the case of highly successful models or when there are delays in the redesign. Rarely does it go shorter (although apparently the Civic's terrible reception has caused them to move the refresh up by a year). So the risk to you of Honda redesigning the Fit for 2013 is, I think, negligible. The standard cycle would see the new 2014 Fit announced mid-2012, but as I said, it could be later than that ..

 

I'm voting or 2014 given that this is the target for the new plant in Mexico to start churning out Fits for North America. Also, honda's getting beat up by the other car makers for lack of a DI motor and tall tranny, which I think will go into the next Fit as well.
