2009 Honda Fit to make New York show debut
 |
The 2009 Honda Fit is making its debut in U.S.-spec trim at the New York auto show in March. Sales of the current-generation Fit have been limited in some areas only by how fast the subcompact five-door can be made. The new car, which made its world debut at last year's Tokyo Motor Show, is built on a longer wheelbase than the current model, which has only been in U.S. Honda dealerships for two model years. The 2009 Fit is expected to hit U.S. showrooms shortly after its debut at New York.
The new Fit (known as the Jazz elsewhere in the world) is available in Japanese trim with a 100-horsepower, 1.3-liter base engine as well as a 1.5-liter four pushing about 118 horspower. We'll likely only get the 1.5-liter option, which is reportedly capable of an impressive 40-plus MPG. A rotating front passenger seat and a CVT may also be available.
