First Drive: 2009 Honda Fit - Inside the Fit's cabin, it's apparent that quality levels are up, with improved plastics, more supportive seats and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Meanwhile, a new dashboard layout looks softer, reflecting a special effort by stylists to appeal to women. (more)

2009 Honda Fit Sport Full Test - Bottom Line: If only every sequel were so good. It's as if Honda used our long-term test blog about the 2007 Fit as a road map for the 2009 model's improvements. (more)

"Production allotment now stands at 60,000 units but will increase to 80,000 when the redesigned Fit arrives Oct. 1, says John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda." http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080623/FREE/14228425/1023/L- ATESTNEWS Replies to this message: upstatedoc (Jun 25, 2008 4:53 pm) jacksan1 (Jun 26, 2008 11:10 am)

Replying to: upstatedoc (Jun 25, 2008 4:53 pm) 80,000 units per year sounds like a lot, but considering that Honda sold almost 26,000 Fits in Japan in the month of March 2008 (fiscal year end) alone, we are definitely getting the short end of the stick here in North America....
#348 of 556 Release date by fittysense Jun 30, 2008 (8:26 pm)
I had been told Aug/Sept arrival from a dealer in Florida and have been asking around about pre-ordering. A second dealer told me they will start arriving Sept as well. I'm crossing my fingers for Sept! Replies to this message: kalvord (Jul 01, 2008 9:01 am)

Replying to: fittysense (Jun 30, 2008 8:32 pm) I had a question regarding the interior color choices you received on the pre-order form. Every article and picture I've come across indicates every 2009 Fit delivered to the U.S. including both Base and Sport models will all have black interiors which isn't sitting well with prospective buyers including myself. Has a grey interior option been confirmed by anyone? Feedback please..... Thank you!

#351 of 556 skyroof by flatso Jul 01, 2008 (2:18 am)
optional skyroof is going to bring in the heat also. Replies to this message: jacksan1 (Jul 01, 2008 6:33 am)

Replying to: backy (Jun 24, 2008 5:34 am) backy, if you are referring to the Indiana (Greensburg), that plant was always slated for the Civic production, not the Fit. Replies to this message: backy (Jul 01, 2008 9:36 am) jacksan1 (Jul 01, 2008 12:25 pm) backy (Jul 01, 2008 1:04 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: flatso (Jul 01, 2008 2:18 am) optional skyroof is going to bring in the heat also. Not in North America, where the Skyroof is not going to be available (for now, probably never).

Replying to: fittysense (Jun 30, 2008 8:26 pm) On Friday, I was finally told by my dealer (Wisconsin) that they will now accept pre-orders for the '09 Fit. Though it was admittedly a conjecture on his part, the dealer stated that just after Labor Day would be his best guess for a delivery date.
