Whoops, somehow I totally missed the 2009 Honda Fit unveil at NYIAS. I guess I was eating lunch. Or writing about something with a little more horsepower. Anyway, my friend, who hates cars, has determined that the Fit offers the best combination of low price, interior space and fuel economy, while fighting off depreciation in that Honda kind of way. In fact, Car & Driver's long term Fit had an operating cost of just ten cents per mile. Too bad it's so homely. And did market research indicate that the politically correct crowd likes cars with fugly, view-obstructing A-pillars?
Anyway, this car-hating friend of mine is buying a 2008 model--he doesn't feel like waiting for the 2009 model, which looks marginally better, has marginally more hp, is marginally bigger, safer and marginally more high tech. More pics over at Jalopnik, who were a little more on the ball than me.
