US FIT needs CVT, 1.3L 5 speed, hybrid and/or diesel
I think it would be great if Honda brought a Fit model to America that rivaled the over seas version in fuel economy. The CVT with 1.3L would probably be kinda weak in performance, however some wouldn't mind and would appreciate the great fuel economy. A 5 speed mated with a 1.3 L would get more power and should be adequate unless you like to drag race. A hybrid version especially combined with diesel fuel would really get great fuel economy. Lets hope that Honda comes out with an improved version sometime soon for America.
I would at least like to thank Honda for finally bringing the Fit over, but I will not be purchasing a Honda Fit until improvements are made to the fuel economy. In the mean time I will purchase a Civic HX 5 speed. If there are no changes by 2008, I will buy a Dodge Challenger or some other vehicle that is fun to drive.
