Honda shows Fit Twist for Brazil, promises Acura launch in 2015

 

nice find. could this be the suv version of the Fit we saw folks talking about here at ff?

looks like a suzuki. lol

 

I'm interested in the sideskirts and the OEM roofrack

Interesting take on the Fit, thanks for posting.

 

I want ze roofrails plz honda. K, thnks!

I have to say, appart from the chrome grill, I like the look of that!

 

While I currently roll on 14" rims and Sportlines, I'm actually pretty interested in going the other direction and picking up a set of those raised springs. Lemme see that body roll.

 

The suspension is not, apparently, raised at all.

ze roofrails I am certain will fit your car IF you can end up finding the part number for that and the moulding; and if you are willing to drill some mounting holes. The major body panels of the car haven't changed vs ours ..

 

I read a few days ago that there will be a Fit subcompact crossover in the US market... Maybe it will be this?

 

I was surprised the Fit in the USA didn't have roofrails, like so many vehicles do. But I'd cram a whole lot inside before putting anything up top to increase wind resistence, decrease gas mileage and risk scratching the roof's paint.

I do admit being able to handle dirt roads would be appreciated, but haven't tested my 2012 Base AT Fit off pavement yet, so maybe there is sufficient clearence as long as on real roads, dirt or paved.

I'm planning a camping trip to Death Valley in a month or two, where I have spent well over 40 days camping out of a Suzuki Samurai in past years. I'm resigned to staying off myriad trails into side canyons that are little more than rocky dry flashflood creekbeds. But I hope the Fit can handle the one way road from near Rhyolite NV thru Titus Canyon into Death Valley proper. Per the maps and rangers 4 wheel drive is not needed but "high ground clearence is advised." Yet I've taken the route many times and don't recall any dicey areas. But I was always in a jacked up 4 wheeler, not a street car. (For those who have never been there...Death Valley is AWESOME and thanksgiving to easter are the best times to visit, when it is usually under 100 at the hottest part of the lowest elevations. And the twisted rock formations at the "narrows" end of Titus Canyon are not seen anywhere else.)
