Talking How Many People Are Interested in A Coupe Version of the FIT?

Just wondering How many people are interseted in a two door version of the Fit besides me. Maybe even a four door version with RX-8 syle rear doors for better access to the rear. Preferably A light weight SI version with a more powerful engine.

YOu could almost call the 02-05 SI a 2dr version, they aren't to different shape wise, though they are built on 2 different frame's, but still similar in shape.

agree with Tomh, one reason I like the Fit cause it reminded me of my 02 civic si.

I like the 92-95 Civic hb and the 02-05 Si and the Fit I just dont like the 02-05 Si's weight. Thats why I want a two door version fit. Maybe I will just find a good 92-95HB and do a B turbo or K swap then i will be happy.

I hate coupes. That's why I stayed away from the Yaris altogether. I've driven three in my lifetime (all hatchbacks too if you count a Datsun 280Z as a hatchback) and it was always a super humungo pain to help the 3rd wheel, er...passenger get into the car.

Absolutely no interest here. Way too many coupes out there and not enough hatches.

Even a 2 door hatch would not interest me at this point - though I absolutely loved my Scirocco when I had it.

Nah. I like the utility of the four doors. Otherwise, why bother having the Magic Seats?

You might just get your wish in the form of the new CRX Honda is working on.

If Honda decides to go back to the "light sports car" route with the new CRX, it would be a natural to use the Fit platform for such a vehicle. Shorten the vehicle slightly, keep the fuel tank under the passenger seats (since it will be a two-passenger vehicle), and put in an all-new 1.5-liter I-4 engine we'll likely see on the 2nd-generation Fit with a full DOHC i-VTEC valvetrain; the result will be a vehicle that weighs at most 2,300 pounds with an engine rated at around 150 bhp (slow it won't be!).

Thats what I am taking about! I think that they should definately build this. I do like the four doors of the fit but I like the way two doors look (sportier)IMO. I like the idea the RX-8 rear suicide doors but still have the coupe look. I think that would be the best think to do to the Fit to give it a sportier image.

I would love to see the station wagon Fit (Airwave I think). All the goodness of the Fit with even more room behind the rear seat.

I can dig the 4dr version, I've seen a few that were tricked out on some JPN boards I've found. I like the hatch better, more cargo room! If Honda wanted to improve the current Fit all they'd have to do is bring the USDM folks some of the features the over seas models already have, 4whl disc, AWD, the CVT, but I digress, a 3dr model would be so so for me since I really love the utility the current Fit gives you.
