I can't wait until pricing is announced.

I doubt it will be any more expensive than the current base and sport trims even with all these improvements.
Why?
- Because it still needs to be positioned below the Civic's price point.
- Because it plays against other subcompacts that still undercut even today's Fit - A lot of people buy the Yaris because it's cheaper so Honda must keep the new Fit as close as possible.
- Most redesigned models rarely go up in price that much - even with vast improvements (automakers seem do be able to break the rules of economics by always offering more and more)
