2009 Honda Fit (2nd gen)

The second generation Honda Fit, which was introduced in Japan last year, will go on sale at Honda dealerships later this year. If the success of the first gen here in the States is any indication, this '09 model is going to sell extremely well. Not only fuel efficient, this car also boast a lot of interior room and is actually fun to drive. This is a fairly polarizing car, you either love it or hate it.

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/20/a...nda-fit-sport/

Here are the highlights:
  • 1.5 liter 4 cyl with 117hp/106tq (increase of 9hp/1tq from last gen)
  • 5spd manual or 5spd auto with paddle shifters
  • Curb weight ~2500lbs
  • EPA 28 city/35 hwy
  • New model is 4.3" longer and 0.9" wider
  • Available in dash navigation with touch screen
  • MSRP starts at $14,550 for base w/manual

And finally some pics:

I want a 2nd gen Fit as a daily driver and dedicate the Evo as a track car.

I would change nothing about the Fit, especially the engine, since it's already so damn efficient and has enough power for daily driving.
