i would, however, like to see an SI trim Fit with the following:
1) more power! nothing crazy that would cannibalize their SI sales but something along the lines of a modern, 1.6L i-VTEC DOHC engine with 160hp like the b-series of yore.
2) better cloth interior
3) better/stronger interior plastics
4) more aggressively valved shocks
5) lower stance
6) lighter wheels
7) stickier rubber
8) front driver and passenger bucket seats
9) factory sway bars
10) front & rear double wish-bone suspension
11) LSD!!!!!!!
12) front & rear disk brakes
13) smaller diameter steering wheel
14) a functional lip/valance kit and spoiler - exclusive to the SI trim only
15) paint that's thicker than a single sheet of rice paper

THAT's a Fit i wouldn't mind paying 20k for
Couldn't have said it any better. An Si trim, 150-160 HP DOHC i-vtec Fit would be perfect.

i forgot to add that it would've been nice to have all that on the GD3 chassis, but i'll settle for a GE8 with all of the above... one can only dream

1) Definitely a 6th gear for manual transmission
2) Relax mode back in 2nd gen. (I still don't know why they "take it out" by not allowing the front seat to move an inch further)

GD3 Chassis, I think the GE8 is gluttony.

6 Speed with LSD

Less weight via lighter seats and less airbags

4 wheel disk brakes

Sun roof optional

Real carpet.

Lighter wheels.

Sounds good, except for me it will need to be Adriana Lima (I'm opposed to silicone fakeness), and Adriana will need to vacuum out the breadcrumbs afterward.

Transform!

Oh, yeah, I forgot about the Transformer movie.
Come to think of it, the Fit is sort of a transformer already!

Let's see....

Better paint
Less road noise (this is a Honda problem not a Fit problem)
Even better gas mileage (can anyone say "hybrid?")
A map light
A change box with a hinge lid
A powered-up Sport Option, like Super Sport or whatever
Ambient lighting for the '08 in blue, Honda installed

In my Honda Fit.
While I Drive.

No, it's going to be an Insight, not a Fit! :P indeed.

Here, there's a spy video and in the video, is a fit.

YouTube - 2010 Honda Hybrid Spy Video

I thought the narrator said "Prius Spyder" but he says "Prius Fighter." I hope the styling changes because the Prius looks like shite to me.

Well, the motor would be a direct easy swap from GE8 to GD3... so if Honda decided to make a more powerful engine, it would a possibility.

1. All of the features that fit on the rest of the world have (i.e. rear disc brake, turn signal on mirror cover, turn-start, HID, etc.)
2. Auto on/off head light.
3. Puffer fit capability (for those inconsiderate pricks that ding other people doors and the B!*&@%d that hit my bumper and run).

I feel you on these 2 things. The little dash pocket where the JDM coin holder goes is a complete waste. Can't even keep Chap-Stik in there without it rolling out in the floor.
And a sunroof would be nice.

I wish the Fit/Jazz had a secret locker or a room that ALWAYS had a lot of money in it every time you opened the door, regardless of how much money you take out of that locker or room...

Is it christmas soon?
