I'm sorry if I spoilt it for you Ellen. I'm in the office and launched the live timing board on F1.comAt the close of the session with time remaining on zero, Button posted 1:39.546 behind Kimi & Alonso.

With all those ugly Yaris things in various configurations crawling around, it's about damn time Honda gets these things over here.
True that Doug! The Yaris look like ugly bugs that must be crushed.

From the point of view of an S owner, I love my Fit.
If I needed a small vehicle right now Fit/Jazz would indeed be at the top of a very short list.

Good article on the Fit. One nitpick:
The extra half inch of width allows for the addition of a driver seat center arm-rest
It's a Honda OEM armrest imported from Japan. The Japan 07-08 model has it, but Honda left it off of the US Fit. I guess enough folks like me went aftermarket that Honda decided to put it in for the 09 model.

Have them check out here:
http://www.collegehillshonda.com/honda_fit...accessories.htm
It's the importer, and they say the shipment they just got is the last one they expect to get. Other sources for JDM parts may still be able to get it, but College Hills Honda is in Ohio, so shipping was cheap.
I've also added window deflectors (also imported by College Hills Honda, this time from Australia), and a K&N Air Filter.
In 2010, after my warranty expires, and if $$$ allows, I may supercharge it.
