Id rather have carbon on the bottom of the valves than on the top of the valve from regular fuel injection. Your not gonna get any combustion without carbon soot.

How about AWD like the Euro/Japanese Fits get and a 6-speed auto/manual.

Oh, and maybe paddle shifters that are mounted to the column and not the steering wheel.

I think you have to look at the 2014 Ford Fiesta has as far as options and figure Honda will be about the same. The new Fiesta still 5 speed manual and rear drums. Honda already stated direct injection in the new Fit.

Next-Gen 2015 Honda Fit Getting More Efficient DI Engine, CVT

The new engine makes at least 125 horsepower and 112 pound-feet of torque (at minimum a six-percent boost from the existing engine, Honda says), and it arrives under the 'Earth Dreams' initiative to boost fuel economy in Honda's next-generation powertrains, To complete the package, it's mated to the middle of Honda's three new-generation CVTs.

Honda Fit engineering mule - previewing future 1.5 DI engine and CVT - Tochigi, Japan, 11/2012

10 percent more fuel-efficient, 15 percent quicker The net gain after pairing the two powertrain components together is significant: Honda estimates about a ten-percent boost in gas mileage, with acceleration 15-percent quicker than today's engine with the five-speed automatic.
