Having no car payment and low gas bills is extremely nice, so I plan to keep my Fit for a long time. But in 4 years, the last kid will begin driving. If I can successfully teach him to shift (the previous kids had no interest in learning how to drive a stick), I'll be really tempted to hand down the Fit and buy a new toy. Right now, my short list is really short - FR-S or BRZ. But if Honda does produce a crossover Fit, all bets are off. ;-)

i think for me (to replace the 09 GE) is the new accord sedan maybe next year.
my wife would be the primary driver, but will get a AT V6 one with all the bells and whistles so that i can drive it on the weekends too to take the wife out on a date. i wont be selling my '12 GE any time soon though. thing is a keeper.

Usually the cars I like end up not coming to the USA kind a high performance wagon like the Focus ST Wagon, a wagon like the Mazda6 in Diesel and 6 speed manual. Something about modified wagons carry loads and have the looks.
In other words I foresee keeping my Fit for a long time.

I'd also look at a 2014 mazda 3 hatchback manual or diest manual.
Also an Acura ILX but not decided on the drive train.
I'd look at a 2014 Yaris RS Sport Manual.
But my fit is less than a year old and not even 10K miles yet. No real need to think about changing it. Plus it's paid for.

Not Honda. I think they have lost their way. Example cheapening the Civic, which backfired. We have a 2012 Fit and a 2012 CRV. The Fit is nice to drive but has an ancient engine with no power and the CRV is positively numb to drive.
Mazda or even a Prius 4.

You're definitely a wagon guy cj... 
Used to have a '70s Corolla wagon back in the days as a DD... Maybe you should go local like a Nomad, a Woody or even a Magnum SRT. 
Yeah I like them too but not too excited about the maintenance...
A Fit with the Mini's peppy engine would do it.

It is a Honda. lol Do you think people buy Hondas because they are fast?
You want to drive fast buy an SI like we did. It sounds to me you chose your cars without thinking what you want/need.

Yeah was not always just seems that later in life you end up hauling larger items that a sedan with with fold down rear seats will not accommodate and most hatches with the seats up do have the cargo room. I will not go SUV or CUV. Almost brought the Mazda6 wagon with MT when they were available. Also if Ford actually offer the Focus ST wagon (one world except the USA) in 2012 I would of consider driving one of those.

Lotus was great when they went with a Toyota sourced engine car looks great. I myself will keep my Fit nothing in the market that is really exciting for me. The Mazda3 with the 2.5l (184 hp SkyActiv) and when the MT is available maybe something to look at. But depends if it ends up being built in Japan versus Mexico and if they continue with their deep discounts like with the previous generation.
