When is the CVT transmission coming to North America for the Honda Fit?

Hopefully never!

I agree with Sako - hopefully never. Have you ever driven a car with a CVT? I have, and they're awful - I felt like I was driving a boat (the way the revs sometimes stay the same as the car gains speed). Notice how Audi, Nissan, Lexus - all program their CVT's to emulate a car with gears - so obviously I'm not the only one who doesn't like the way they behave. Best to get a stick in a small car like the Fit, but if you must have an auto, the Fit has a good 5 speed auto - and if you get the sport model it even has the paddle shifters for when you feel like shifting yourself. Don't wait for that transmission, that's for sure.

it is already offerd for the fit... actually that is the only other option than the five speed manual.hope this helps

DO NOT GET HONDA CVT TRANSMISSIONS!!!!i have a 2001 honda civic hx with cvt and the tranny broke after 72000 miles, and then got it rebuilt and broke again 20000 miles again... its a waste of money... planing just doing a 5sp swap or a k20 swap... havent decided
