Set for January 13 reveal

Honda has disclosed plans to show the 2015 U.S.-spec Fit at next month’s North American International Autohttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png Show in Detroit.
We saw the new Honda Fit/Jazz earlier this year in July and now the Japanese automaker is ready to unveil the U.S.-spec model. From this single teaser photo released by Honda we notice the taillight design will be retained on the American version and chances are the rest of the design will be mostly carried over without any major differences.
Honda mentions its new subcompact model will be available with an engine (most likely a 4-cylinder gasoline mill) from the Earth Dreams Technology and they say it will be one of the safest vehiclehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png in its segment thanks to the proprietary next-gen Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure.
The 2015 U.S.-spec Honda Fit will be introduced on January 13.

So when can we drive one? :)

Should be available for sale in summer from everything I am hearing.

So what about the 2014 Fit? They are skipping directly to 2015?

Honda introduced the Fit to the US Market in April of 2006 as a 2007 model. My wife saw the TV ad and said she wanted one. The dealer only had one car and was using it as a demonstrator. We bought the car the first week in May and picked it up at the end of the month when it came in.

I assume that they will do the same thing with the new generation Fit.

Now that it's hot make me want to do chrome wrap.

Always interesting to see concept drawings like that. 2-door pocket rocket - you can imagine yourself going down the road at, uh, slightly above the speed limit, with the turbo charged 3 cyl DOHC direct injected engine just purring.......and then the red & blue lights in the mirror and you're thinking, oh, fooey........:)

It looks more like the GE8 with the headlights if you could get the grille and bumper would be all set.

I can't find any definite answer to this - Is the Honda Fit RS coming to US or not? yes or no.

Don't get your hopes up; they don't want to cannibalize sales of larger Hondas that have higher profits. The small car market is very different in the rest of the world...

Be aware the 2015 US-market Honda Fit may have a different nose design than the JDM Honda Fit due to NHTSA safety requirements for bumpers and turn signal lights.

The car will likely offer only the new 1.5-liter Earth Dreams Technology engine rated at 122 bhp with either CVT automatic or six-speed manual, at least for the hatchback version. The hybrid version may be offered only the sedan version, which may also be shown at NAIAS next month.

What happened to the cup holders? :hyper:

The dash looks nice.

bummer looks like the non LED tube type :(

I still like my '08.

By the way, someone in Brazil caught a picture of effectively an undisguised 2015 Honda Fit--at least the model to be sold in Brazil:

The vehicle likely has the final US-model nose, but the headlights are likely not the US-model headlights, since the lacks the amber turn signal lights on the other edge of the headlamp housing, which may be required by NHTSA regulations.

I didn't originally notice the chrome strip on the hatch until now..

Everything else looks the same as what I earlier posted rear-wise

Looks like it's missing the "exciting H" bumper. Maybe they'll use a different design concept for NA?

Someone managed to get a picture of a North American 2015 Honda Fit on a pilot production run at the Celaya, Mexico assembly line:

Note the longer nose, and you can easily identify the amber turn signal lights on the headlamp housings.

Damn it. I'm actually liking the new fit a lot more. Like japan tragic posted above though, it's non-led tails again lol! Always some kind of modding to do.

Lol I can't help but see the front end as a face. Compared to the jdm front it looks the usdm has had a few joints.

Am excited to see the final outcome and how they'll look in person.

I'm liking the look of the front end but it will still take awhile to get used to the back tail lights and the lines on the sides.

We can always take it to the late 90's fast and furious style and do a front end conversion lol!

maybe Im dillusional but dont think it ended up THAT bad?

NISMO inspired Noblesse fit! That's a nice combo right there.

Best of both my worlds! :thumbups:

Lucky dog :nod:

I would probably get some funny stares if my Fit had NISMO stickers?:eek3:

I still have a few lol!!

^^ If you do it...... They will follow......

Damn that looks so good... Really like the subtle eyelid that connects the flow from grill to hood

Wish I was due for a new car, but I probably won't be until the next generation of fit comes out!

Was looking at that photo. Thought it was interesting that only 1 Fit in the photo. Was this a pre-production car? Everyone hiding so a spy shot can be taken? :)

Good pics in there of the Mugen Fit. So many nice parts for it.

Wow that looks really good, makes the Fit look way more premium

:yeahthat: not sure if it's a nice combo, but they do definitely have that nismo red e-tape look.

i dont know if it's been said but the 2015 us spec fit will offer a moonroof, and leather seats, got an email today - check youtube in an hour or so for an official video

So far I'm sold with just the 6mt and DOHC. This car seems really promising. I'm pretty sure the aftermarket companies will support this car better then the GE too. I'll have to see it in person before I make a decision.

If it comes with rear disc I will really be sold then.

It's quite impressive how little they changed the appearance of the car with the longer noses. I guess they didn't feel like they had to redesign the front bumper for our market so much like they did with the GE.

Guess the move to Mexico is paying off too, with all the new features they can now put into the fit. Wish we could get the moonroof here too...

Overall look of the car is what would hold me back from jumping on the 15 Fit. All the tech goodies and interior changes are nice.

That noblesse 15 Fit is damn nice.

Did you guys see the interior? Do I spy leather stitching on the dash?
