Too bad they phased out the CVT for the Brazilian versions of the Fit too. The 1st-gen got it for the local market, altough the first ones exported to the U.S. were fitted with the 5-speed AT. Altough the JDM versions retain the CVT, and if I remember correctly the Euro-spec Fit (Jazz) too.

Maybe even a water reservoir for an evaporative cooler in case of A/C delete
