Here is another link and blurb...
Honda Strengthens Fuel Efficiency, Technology for 2012 Lineup - Automotive.com Blogs
2012 Honda Fit: Honda’s popular five-door compact gets refreshed inside and out for the new model year.
2012 Honda Fit: Honda’s popular five-door compact gets refreshed inside and out for the new model year.
- Exterior paint colors Blue Raspberry Metallic and Orangeburst Metallic replace Celestial Blue Metallic and Orange Revolution Metallic.
- Base Fit models get a security system, while the Fit Sport model adds Bluetooth and steering wheel controls for the audio system.
I wonder what these 2 new colors look like?

Spend $1800 more for the Sport model and I still don't get Bluetooth streaming?
Guess I'm going to stick with a base 2011 and just add my own stereo then. Still, I'm glad I waited. I actually saw some Fits in stock in southern California. If only they'd be in stock up north here.

I just read in the Motor Trend that the 2012 will have a new front end, new wheels, all black dash, body-colored mirrors on the base, upgraded seat fabric on the sport, new wheels, bluetooth, and new colors.
... so who wants to give me their sport wheels? They're pretty much worthless now that they'll be outdated.

Leets, you actually like the sport wheels? They are OK I suppose, but too heavy for the Fit's tiny engine. Mine collect dust in a room, but unfortunately I need them when it comes time for inspection as the +45 offset and 205 tires will fail inspection here in Japan.

Compared to the steel eyesores that come stock on the base model? Yes, I'd say I like the sport wheels very much. They definitely aren't my first choice for wheels on my car, but at this point just about anything is an improvement.

I didn't think there was much of a reason to upgrade from a base to a sport in 2011..... Upgrade seat fabric would have definitely impacted my decision at the time... of course, now that I know about clazzios, I guess seat fabric doesn't really matter anymore.

LOTS OF NEW FIT 2012 INFO CAME OUT TODAY 
Miles Per Gallon - 2012 Honda Fit Receives Updates and More Features - Super Street Magazine
Honda Fit gets outside, inside tweaks for 2012
2012 Honda Fit Shapes Up
...AND, the All the Sport models are getting Bluetooth and Bluetooth Streaming. Not just Nav. (Am I reading that right?)
Still no Sirius/XM. But with Bluetooth, who needs it, right?
New wheels for Sport. New hubcaps for the Base. Dashboard is going all-black, instead of grey on black.
2012 models get extra sound-insulating foam to quiet the ride.
Looks like I'm gonna put off buying my Fit until I can get a 2012 sport model.

Ah crap!
Why do you have to be so stingy with $100 technology, Honda!!!! Why???
Guess it's back to the Base model for me.
When equipped with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with Voice Recognition5, the Fit Sport now includes Bluetooth®1 HandsFreeLink® to help make hands-free telephone calls more convenient.

I'm disappointed in the fuel numbers. Same as the 2011 model. Honestly, with more and more competitors pumping out 40mpg highway rated cars - Honda is starting to fall behind. I wouldn't have waited until 2013 to address this gap, I would have added a 6th gear to the auto this year. I don't know if Honda feels squeezed by the high yen so it can't offer better specs and keep the car in it's price range.... but waiting until Mexico is online I think is ceding too much time. They will really have to play catch up now in 2013. Maybe they have a new body style?
All models are powered by a four-cylinder engine that produces 117 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 106 lb-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm. When equipped with the available automatic transmission, the Fit has an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) city/highway/combined fuel economy rating of 28/35/31 miles per gallon3. The Fit Sport with the available automatic transmission has an EPA city/highway/combined fuel economy rating3 of 27/33/30 miles per gallon. All manual transmission-equipped models have an EPA city/highway/combined fuel economy rating of 27/33/29 miles per gallon3.

i thought i posted already, maybe it was another thread.
my take on the 2012: ugly wheels, the black headlamps look good, but it's starting to be a dated look.
yah, this day in age, our smartphones are our gps. wat they need to do is integrate a large screen with BT so that we can control our phones from the car.
