Nope. I posted on 9/10. Technically I only posted a link to pictures hosted elsewhere, so I suppose someone else could be the first to post pictures in-line with their message.

For any of you worried about the color, here's some eye candy to help you out. Remember if you pick it up at night or overcast/shade, you will only be seeing 1/2 of the color. Notice the "sea" of plain color cars in the background at the dealership. This color is fantastic!

Thanks for posting another pic! I think I'll love it but I have to see it in person to know for sure. I'm sure it'll take me about 2 seconds to decide!

It was my wife's call on the color, but when we saw our Fit in this shade yesterday it was a no-brainer. It is bold, but cares? 90% of the vehicles on the road are boring in color and in style. It kind of reminds me of a button my wife has: "stare until your eyeballs fall to the ground." I'm a big fan of orange revolution....

Great shot. I think OR is a stand out color, which fits the Fit's personality. I only wish that Honda offered more vibrant colors (e.g., yellow) for North America. Not that the current color offerings are dull, but I think several are a bit more staid and perhaps better suited for an Accord -- the Fit lends itself to unique colors. There's no question that OR stands out from the crowd, plus, it has multiple personalities, depending on the time of day. I ordered white, but, OR is making me waffle.

Thumbs up

Although this orange looks like it could be too close to burnt orange for my taste, I do think it would look amazing with a pair of black stripes. (Think Mustang Boss 302.)

We were sold on the color as soon as we saw it. The earlier posts are correct about the range/depth of orange revolution depending on the amount of sunlight. It sure does stand out in a parking lot of generic cars. It's kind of funny, but at the dealership this old, pasty-looking dude was staring at our car like he was looking at a spaceship. That's when I knew we made the right choice....

How funny - when I scrolled down to your post and saw the pic with the Asian Lady Beetles, my first thought was "I bet this guy's from Wisconsin!", and sure enough...

Until this morning, I hadn't seen another 2009 Fit "in the wild", but there is one where I work, and it happens to be an Orange Revolution. In fact, I saw the car about 10-14 days ago when I drove in and went past (about 100' away) and several people were looking at the guys car, and they all turned when I drove by. I thought it was a GD Fit, but today confirmed it's an 09 Sport.
