New Honda Fit launching in New York
We found the 2009 Honda Fit at the Tokyo auto show last year.

The 2009 model, showing some distinct styling changes, will be unveiled at the New York auto show. We got to see this new Honda Fit at the Tokyo auto show last year, and didn't find the changes very groundbreaking. We recently published a review of the 2008 Honda Fit, giving us some recent experience to draw from when looking at the new design. The rear appears slightly curvier, and the whole car seems a bit longer. At the Tokyo auto show, the new Fit was shown with an in-dash navigation system. However, we don't know if that option will be available in the U.S., as foreign automakers frequently offer better options in their own countries than over here.
The Fit shown in Tokyo had a navigation system.
