Is it 100% for sure the 1.5T in the Si? Or is it a chance it will get a de-tuned 2.0T from the R?

Type_M everyone knows it's going to be turbo. There's major, and I mean major speculation for the engine.

There are three options right now:

1.5T
1.5T VTEC
2.0T

Nobody knows what it's going to be, and if you knew you'd be a hero right now.

Don't care about the civic, just wish there was a Fit with a turbo'd 1.5 L.
Fit Si :D

I would like that as well, would be great. Nothing competes with the Fit for practicality in the segment. Giving it a ~40% bump in power from the previous version though already made a huge difference, one of the new turbo motors would be awesome.

When did this bump in power happen?

I thought it went from 117 --> 130 no?

It is, only 11% power bump, maybe the 40% based on Mitsu's buttdyno.

I believe it went 109 --> 117 --> 130. The "~" means approximately, I didn't remember the exact numbers my apologies. Other markets were as low as 90hp for previous versions which is why I had 40% in my head.

Why not just turbo the other 6 vehicles Honda has?

3.0L V6 turbocharged Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline, and Accord
1.5L L4 turbocharged HR-V and Accord Hybrid

Because mainly people who buy a Fit is looking for large cargo space in a small size. Compared to the ST, it's 470 L vs. 286 L. Terrible for the ST! Now make the Fit peppy like a Fiesta ST, and you have a huge winner.

There is just a big market for smaller sized vehicles that can haul a bunch of stuff, and it doesn't matter what age group you're in. Young, middle, old, the Fit caters to everyone and at an affordable price point.

Hell yea, I'd buy that.

Before I bought my last car I was seriously considering getting an older Fit and doing some kind of forced induction.

Seems like a fun and practical little vehicle, so one that is quick from factory would definitely be of an interest to me.

I have never been able to get over the fact the Fit looks like a minivan. Not attractive at all. Although I am with you guys on putting a turbo in. Every car is better with a more powerful engine. :thumbsup:

True but take a look at the preowned Fit, it's not moving in most dealerships. I have two and it's been there for more than 100 days.

Anyways to get back on topic, the 2017 CRVs are arriving in December. I've already seen model codes dropped and saw that there will be 3 2017 CRV Tourings available. Not too sure on colour as of yet. The Si will be debuting at LA Show

Mercedes-Benz will show three models for the first time in the U.S., including the AMG GT Roadster, G550 4x4 Squared and the track-ready AMG GT R.

An epicenter for advanced automotive design, Los Angeles will become a stage for several concept car unveilings. In a global debut, Acura will preview its future interior design, human-machine interface and technology direction, striving to achieve a seamless connection between man and machine. Infiniti will feature its new SUV vision, the QX Sport Inspiration, while Subaru's global concept reveal will uncover a new line of vehicles for the brand. In addition to production and concept vehicles, both luxury and economy marques plan on bringing more hybrid, electric and alt-fuel models to their displays.

A diverse mix of established automakers, tech companies and disruptors including BMW ReachNow, Hyundai, Ridecell and whiteCryption, are planning to unveil innovations and advancements around artificial intelligence, automation, car sharing, security and more inside the show's all-new Technology Pavilion (located on the Los Angeles Convention Center campus). Here, AutoMobility LA will also host its award-winning conference, where industry experts will discuss the hottest topics surrounding the future of transportation. More than 50 luminaries, including the CEOs of Ford, Intel, Local Motors and Next EV will make announcements and offer insights from the Roadshow by CNET stage.

"AutoMobility LA is packed with breaking news from automakers, tech leaders and startups, which is a true testament that the new auto industry isn't coming, but rather, it's alive and growing in L.A.," said Lisa Kaz, President and CEO of LA Auto Show and AutoMobility LA. "We're excited that in just one month, we'll be able to see everything uncovered live from the show floor."

Following AutoMobility LA, all of this year's vehicle debuts will be on display at the 2016 LA Auto Show (open to the public November 18-27).

AutoMobility LA is the culmination of a multi-year evolution of the LA Auto Show's Connected Car Expo and its Press & Trade Days into a trade show designed exclusively for the new automotive industry. The four-day event will bring together the entire "new mobility ecosystem" comprised of automakers, tech companies, designers, developers, startups, investors, dealers, government officials, analysts, etc.

If you've had a Fit on your lot for more than 100 days I would guess your price is too high, especially since the customer has to also pay GST a second time. When my GF and I tried to buy a used one, they were nearly impossible to find and the few we did either sold immediately, or were priced so high that we ended up buying a new one. What year/price/condition/KM are they?

I've driven one. It's much nicer than last year's IMO. Power is pretty good, but the CVT won't be for everyone. It's a better than average CVT though for sure. Interior is pretty nice, huge sunroof, lots of options/features. Really nice little vehicle but loaded it's $40K and that opens you up to a lot, so I would be cross shopping at a lot of different vehicles.

When it comes to CVT, we have a completely different expectation than the majority of buyers of these kinds of vehicles. When we shopped for a vehicle for my gf's mom, we cross shopped a RAV4, CRV and Rogue. The Rogue was the last on my list because of the CVT, felt like driving a sponge. She loved how smooth it accelerated and ended up with the Rogue haha.

Helped a coworker shop for a CUV. Ended up getting the CRV Touring. They compared to RDX, Sorrento, CX-5, Rav4. Said CRV by far is best for the money.

Had a Sorento out last weekend actually and it was quite nice. The 2.0T is the way to go but you can't get every single option unless you get the V6 unfortunately, which isn't nearly as nice of an engine and didn't seem to play as nicely with the transmission. Interior, ride, etc. were all very good.

The one thing I hate about many of these SUVs is that most force you to take a third row, and you can't get rid of it, the best you can do it fold it in the floor even if you will never use it.

A bit more money but the Mazda CX9 was probably the nicest thing I drove in that rough category. Only complaints were it was under-powered and had no Android/Apple Auto. Interior was fantastic otherwise though.
