I LOL'd! Not only does it not work on the Fit, it does not even work on my wife's leather-clad CRV. Honda must pay dearly for those 5-cent relays...

I used to have a silver car with a black interior. the next car I bought was black with a tan interior. The silver car was an oven inside in the summer. The black car was far, far cooler. Moral: as far as interior temperature is concerned, interior color matters more than exterior color.
