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)

#357 of 556 Re: U.S. will get 80,000 2009 Fits a year [jacksan1] by backy Jul 01, 2008 (1:04 pm)
Replying to: jacksan1 (Jul 01, 2008 12:25 pm) Here is the original Honda announcement regarding the Greensburg plant. http://world.honda.com/news/2006/c060629NewAutomobilePlant/ Note that, as I stated, it says nothing about the Civic and says in fact "Honda will announce additional details of its vehicle production plans at a later date." This lack of mention of any particular model led to speculation by industry analysts and by the press that the Fit could be made there; here is an example (look near the bottom of the page): http://www.greensburgdecaturcounty.com/honda_indystar.htm Replies to this message: jacksan1 (Jul 01, 2008 2:03 pm)

Replying to: backy (Jul 01, 2008 1:04 pm) Yes, I see that Honda's plans were notcommital in the earlier press release. It appears that Honda got firmer on the Civic for Greensburg later. Thanks for the links!

Replying to: widetrack2000 (Jun 30, 2008 8:46 pm) all interiors on the 09 Fit are charcoal-black. that according to dealer I pre-ordered one from. I have seen the 09 Jazz here in France where I have been living. seems sharp to me. Replies to this message: kenjan1970 (Jul 06, 2008 7:20 am) backy (Jul 06, 2008 9:25 am)

Replying to: cogneuro (Jul 06, 2008 6:48 am) Sorry if this question has been asked, I want to buy a fit, but local dealers dont have what I want and say it is the end of the model year so I will have to wait for the 09 model so I want to order an 09 how do I get an order form and info on model and equiptment options and other model info? Thanks in advance Ken Replies to this message: backy (Jul 06, 2008 9:25 am)

Replying to: kenjan1970 (Jul 06, 2008 7:20 am) Your dealer is the best source for placing an order for a 2009 Fit. As for options, it's pretty simple--there really are none, other than accessories you can get from your dealer or elsewhere. Here are the trim levels for 2009: Base MT (manual transmission) Base AT (automatic transmission) Sport MT Sport AT Sport MT with navigation and VSC Sport AT with navigation and VSC Color choices have been posted before, I think in this discussion if you go back a few pages.

Replying to: fittysense (Jun 21, 2008 4:30 pm) Our 09 Fit Sport 5MT was built this week according to our dealer (Walser Honda of Burnsville, MN) and should arrive the week of August 11th through August 25th.

Replying to: 26pt2runner (Jul 17, 2008 12:05 pm) Wow, that's six weeks earlier than any place I've heard off..... Up until your post, I was under the impression from both Dealers and online that the earliest we'd see an '09 Fit on US shores was the first week in October so please keep this thread updated if they deliver yours in August. Thank you!

Has anyone seen photos of the new Orange Revolution yet? I've been searching but haven't come across any... this will hopefully be my future Fit.

Replying to: 26pt2runner (Jul 17, 2008 12:05 pm) I just talked to my dealer in California, and he says that they are getting their 2009 Fits in September, he didn't mention when in September but I told him to put me down for the BBP Sport Auto he said was coming. I am so excited.
