There is a hook under the rear door, which looks like the kind of thing that would be used to tow the car out of a ditch. I found a dealer willing to sell the car for MSRP so I ordered the Sport in Blaze Orange. Now all I have to do is see if they actually get it.

I'd hope that Honda US would get them in at some point. It's very good, no scratches, bikes in the slipstream, no hard lifting on and off. On a 500 mile trip it still managed 43MPG with 3 adults, luggage and bikes! Good luck with your Fit. They're rather good! Skippy E&OE |
