Key pieces of equipment missing from the FIT

I know the car is pretty loaded, but it sounds like the FIT is missing a couple of 'standard' pieces of equipment:
*Locking gas cap
*Floor mats
*Rear storage cover
Are the FIT's missing any other pieces of equipment? I am picking mine up in two weeks and I want to price some after market accessories out first before I spend the big bucks at Honda.

I ordered the cargo cover yesterday from my dealer. I didn't want to buy after-market and risk it not fitting. I bought some nice looking floor mats at Target today. Much cheaper than the ones from Honda. I do miss not being able to pop the gas tank door from inside like my Civic, but I sure do like having a back windshield wiper again. That I really missed. All in all, I totally love this car!

I've always driven something in the compact class which was Japanese of course, now I'm feel I'm moving down to the sub-compact class which is smaller in stature but the amenities should be equivalent.

However, whatever is lacking in amenities in these Japanese cars they make up for it in reliability and durability. Maybe the next generation of Fit...,whenever the design change comes for N.A. will include some of the simple things we would see in the cobalt, focus, neons, calibers etc,

Keep the tight and smart Japanese engineering but throw in some amenities like the N.A. crappy dumbmestics.

BUT A/C is standard, power windows and locks, side airbags, adjustable steering column also.
I guess you can't have it all.

Dojo posted this pic in another thread. He said the center console is an option in Japan. I am going to go see if I can find it in Thailand

Better hp out put(option) and dead pedal. Honda should have pulled a scion move and let you pick what options you wanted. Or how about REAL performance options? Intake, header, exhaust, Suspension, brakes...all across their entire auto line from Fit to Ridgeline. Come on Honda wake up and smell the aftermarket money already. Toyota(scion) got TuRD, Dodge got mopar, Ford got svt, Subaru got sti, where the hell is Mugen??? People want it and like always you're late to the party. HFP sucks @$$!!!

I also heard that the 'dead pedal' is also missing.
