Honda..Americans are begging you for Double Wishbones!

The switch to the MAC Struts has been a nightmare in terms of lowering possiblites and overall suspension potential..Please make the FIT double wishbone..The harder it is for the aftermarket to support your cars the harder it will be for consumers who want to fix them up to buy them..Don't believe me..look at the Scion!

The reason why the Honda Fit/Jazz is such an amazingly roomy car for such a small size is the fact they are NOT using the space-wasting double-wishbone suspension systems on the car. That was how Honda was able to get that amazing amount of room in the back seats, along with keeping the size of the car physically small.

Besides, because of its design, the car already has a very low center of gravity to start with, so lowering the car won't really improve handling quality that much. A better solution is changing shocks and springs, just like what Mugen did with their highly-modified Fits in Japan.

Could you be more specific about what to "look at Scion"?
