Things you wished the FIT had
#21
ooh, good topic. i think the current Fit is a fairly good value, as long as you're able to get it at invoice.
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

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

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.

But think about it, if Megan Fox was in your passenger seat, you know what that means right?....your Fit is a Transformer!!!

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

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.

yeah, without a doubt. but i was also taking to account the rest of the "wish it had.." list as well: double wishbone, F/R disks, etc.

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?
