New info for the 2011 Honda Fit (via vtec.com website):

Now standard for the Fit Sport:

• Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) (previously available only on Navigation-equipped models)
• Floor mats (previously an accessory option on all trims)

 

kewl. i wonder if theyre going to do any subtle changes to the exterior design, like different front bumper/or grill/or tailights.

CR-Z gets a 6spd M/T?

 

Thanks for the info.

Glad I didn't wait just for those features.

 

2012 if honda sticks to their standard. Trim usually runs unchanged for 3 years, then changed fro 2 or 3 (depending on a 5/6 yr life cycle) at the MMC point. they usually adjust the grille to match the new "Honda Corporate face" and then make some rear bumper adjustments. HP changes are rare/if ever during MMC's and occasionally some comfort items are upgraded inside. I'd expect to see some shots from Brenda Priddy & Co. sometime next march with some camo'd up fits.

Pretty [britdevine] to give all the 2011's VSA, really will kill the resale for the 09's and 2010's

 

Glad they upped the content. VSA comes standard on it's competition.

 

vsa is for girls. plus not like anyone's beasty fit needs it.

 

But I have yet to find this feature useful for any of my cars...doubt the Honda version will be much different...

I love how when you are trying to quickly pull out in traffic from a dusty road and the car detects wheel slippage and cuts power leaving you hung out to dry in the middle of traffic, but at least your wheels aren't slipping any more...

And usually this "feature" is automatically applied every time you stop and start the car making you have to turn it off every time if you hate it.

Usually you remember that this feature wasn't turned off when you are dead in the water and cars are slamming on their brakes and you can only pray that the car gods decide it is safe for you to move forward out of the way before you get hit.

Glad I got the 2010, for those who feel safer in the 2011...

 

Well, the 12's will all have it, including the base line. Plus as mentioned, vsa is more standard on the competition, so to keep up honda really did need to expand it.

 

Honda didnt have a choice, its now required by federal law.

 

Not until 2012 models, it is going to be put in place in 2011 for the 2012

 

I disable VSA on my Crosstour, let's just hope there's an option to disable VSA on the FIT.

 

Should have that ability, mine has the button I push to disable. It really is more of a hindrance than an asset for me personally. Same way with the Snisen, I remember one time at auto-x I forgot to deactivate and when I went to rip off the line from the start the car just bogged and didn't want to move, needless to say my time was shot on that run.

I just see it as just another one of those things that are being instituted because of instead of making people actually work for a license and prove they know how to drive, just make cars less driver oriented because like everything else in society these days, we all must be equal in all facets of life. At least this is the grand scheme it seems.

 

LOL

stoopid 10 char.

 

how so? most people want to control the car.

 

dumbing down everything more and more so the idiots cant kill themselves and continue to breed and bring down society as a whole.

 

I assume it is the carpet mats included and not the all weather-- I also wonder if they are a downgraded version?
I would be really upset if Navi came standard or the Fit went hybrid in 2011 . Now I am glad I did not wait--these are really not significant upgrades to me. Perhaps some different colors for 2011?
Wonder if they are doing something to protect the a/c condenser by adding some sort of lower grille there.

 

Wow, just when I was going to the dealer to pick up a 2010 Fit Sport. Looks like I may hafta wait a month or so before I jump.

 

Does anyone know when we should expect the 2011s to show up? I could handle waiting a few weeks but more than that would be a problem (as we have been down a car for a week now).

 

honda had to increase some options in the 09 fit to compete and still have that competitive advantage!
, VSA and floor mats is a good start
would like to see bluetooth as well!

I would still take a fit over fiesta anyday!
