There are no tow bars on the Fit. 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. And I definitely have to find a bike rack, and, if I get the
car within two weeks, I need that rack quickly. I'm going on vacation
and the bikes have to come along.

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. And I definitely have to find a bike rack, and, if I get the
car within two weeks, I need that rack quickly. I'm going on vacation
and the bikes have to come along.

Well I have a Pendle 3-bike rack that attaches to a 'Genuine Honda' towbar
on my UK spec Jazz/Fit. 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!
