2015 U.S.-spec Honda Fit confirmed for NAIAS launch in January
Set for January 13 reveal
Honda has disclosed plans to show the 2015 U.S.-spec Fit at next month’s North American International Auto
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 vehicle
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.

I assume that they will do the same thing with the new generation Fit.
Picture on Honda site under the 2015 Fit. Wish it ended up like these maybe next generation.

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........

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.

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.

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.

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.
