Of course no one will know until it's built, but I can't resist speculating!

My guess - I think that they would put the HCHII IMA system in the FIT. I can't imagine that they would go back a few generations and put the 3 cyl into the FIT. Keep in mind that the Fit weighs I think 2514 to 2551 with CVT - a bit closer to the Civic (2875 lbs) than the insight (1975 lbs). I thank that the insight IMA system in the fit would be a bit on the slow side.
