What should the new Fits have as in options for us in north america

That may have to do with the Miracle-Ear being turned down a bit. (Sorry, couldn't resist).
I'm guessing i'd notice the difference. I noticed when I swapped out new tires. The fit is not a quiet vehicle, at least not by today's standards. It's a common complaint in many comparisons and one I read was doing a 2012 Model year shootout. The fit still came in first overall but one thing they didn't like was that the noise level was too high.

Perhaps you should invest in some sound deadner.

I dont honestly think you want
Manual windows.
No cruise.
No A/C.
No stereo.
Smallest steel wheels possible.
Least insulation possible.
please get a sense of humor

The Rest of the world doesn't but Mike.... I believe he actually does. to each their own but I think you can be an enthusiast AND enjoy some of the creature comforts. For some reason, a few think that Enthusiasts can only love stripped down shells.

I would absolutely love that.
-Manual windows are more fun and they don't slow down over time, unless you do.
-I don't like cruise. Lower MPG, promotoes inattentive driving, etc.
-I like the idea of just the wiring in place for two front speakers and a head unit. I don't like stock stereos, something like this makes it easier to do things in a way that pleases the owner
-I rarely use the A/C anyway. Why not eliminate the power draining, fuel economy killing, already ineffective system?
-Insulation, less weight = better mpg/better performance; according to some the Fit is already loud, why not make it louder?
I apologize if I came off as blunt, but having spent time on this forum, you'd understand, there are quite a few members who would give that answer as a serious response. They'd then go make a thread about what oil they should use.
I can understand a desire for some comforts, my next daily will likely be some sort of luxo sedan or a Prius. I just wish some manufacturers would offer a car that is more affordable and lighter/more fun.

Wow , Specboy, I honestly didnt think he wanted that. I love my fit, I made a gallery of what I have done to it. The BT35-HON, shark fin antenna, clazzio seat covers, cargo tray, cargo cover/shelf, door sill plates, replaces dome, map and cargo lights with LED's

Since they are using the chassis in Spec B, why not come out with a race base model for the street? I would be all over it, except I still can not agree with the face on the North American model, every time I see the Fit Shuttle over here, I see that face and to me it is just too elongated and ugly.

Also I would like a door handle on the INSIDE OF THE HATCH

2013 Honda Fit Comparison of All Fit Trims
The "DX" has a curb weight of 1116kg vs 1125kg for the" LX" (similar to the base), so 2460lbs vs. 2478 = savings of about 18lbs.
...doesn't seem worth it to me...
I do kinda like manual windows and a 6 spd manual would be a huge +

I have a 2010 base, the closest to his vision you can get I guess, I don't need or want any extras. *shrug*
I wouldn't even care if it had crank windows and manual locks. I'm not hard to please.

I saw one mention of the variable intermittent wipers. That is something I very much want. Sadly, the mod I've seen to add this in only works on a manual, and I bought an automatic. >_<
Maybe if they make it stock, it'll actually install in mine too? Yeah, probably not... but I can hope.
Otherwise I'm pretty pleased with my little Fit. I do have the replacement light cover for the cargo area that you can push on and off, just need to install it. That's a cheap part, why isn't that in there stock?

Every penny hits the bottom line and they have to call it at some point. There's a number of things that are inexpensive to do but put them all together and the price of the FIT would be a bit higher as for The wipers, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on your auto. Transmission shouldn't matter.
