Canadian 09 Fit Pics High Res.
Hi Guys:
Took an 09 Storm Silver Fit for a test drive this morn. Didn't like it. I LOVED it!!! I was very impressed in every respect. They had one DX ,two LX and a Sport 5 spd. stick. I just wasn't feeling the rims on the LX. Looks like Civic Hybrid rims without the slot machined. Not my favorite time of day to shoot but here's some quick grabs of the cars. Kudos to Randy at Harvest Honda for putting up with my dark sense of humor. I always spend some time getting the seat belt as tight as possible then say I want to test the air bags on this thing.. Gets 'em every time...Gallery is wide open, no water marks. Enjoy........
Cheers
Ted

This is the LX model. The rims really suck but I'm sure they'll sell everything on the lot. I left empty handed today but the sales rep is searching for a "bright orange metallic" sport for me. He knows it's that or nothing so I'll just wait it out..........

Great pics. I'm curious if the colors in Canada are called by different names (e.g., is the Orange Metallic the same as our Orange Revolution)?

JDM- Pics added, this is all I have for now. My intent was to get their demo on a hoist but another couple wanted to test drive it and I was hoggin it already....more pics to follow.....
Waraeor- There seems to be a few differences. The dealership is really strapped for info and the Canuck paint codes don't correspond with the US codes. I've been hammerin a Honda Canada rep for an actual image of "brilliant orange metallic" which could be different from the US version. I told her I needed the image yesterday and didn't care who I had to sleep with. She seems interested so things might work out but I've been wrong before. Definetly need the image up front. I concur on the wheels just a waste of aluminum IMHO........

Forgot to mention the sales rep told me the rear wiper will come on if the fronts are operating and an auto or man. trans car is placed in reverse. Didn't have time to test it but how cool is that? The only negative I found yesterday with the Fit sport is the spare tire cargo floor cover. It was too thin and flimsy to my liking so I'll probably have to McGyver a plywood sub floor so heavy groceries don't mangle the panel........

LX:
MSRP = $17,380.
Wholesale = $16,337.
Sport:
MSRP = $19,280.
Wholesale = $18,123.
Freight for all Fits is $1295, and the federal air-cond. excise tax is $100. No mention of admin fees or other cash grabs, but know they will be there...
Also, here's the list of stuff the Sport model has that the LX does not:
16" alum. alloy rims that aren't butt-ugly like the 15" ones on the LX.
Under-body spoilers.
Perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Cargo area storage bins and four tie-downs.
Security alarm system.
200-watt stereo with 6 speakers (incl. tweets. 5-mode EQ and USB jack for IPOD.
Rear stabilizer bar.
P185/55R16 tires. (vs. P175/65R15 tires on the LX).
That's it. Yours for a mere $1900 extra. The better-looking rims might just make this worth-while. You can be sure Honda made the LX rims as ugly as they did in anticipation of exactly this scenario. Bastards...

I was waiting for Honda Canada to update their site and thought maybe I can get away with the LX. After seeing those wheels, I have to get the sport. Thanks for the pics
At least they dropped the sport price by 700 compared to the 08'
