Question:
Can you assure me that this kit will fit the newly reconfigured 2015 Honda Fit. Since the vehicle is new, I want to be assured that there is no change that would make this unusable by this generation. Thanks for your assistance.

The 2015 Honda Fit is part of this vehicle's 3rd generation, which began with the 2013 model year.
The Roadmaster base plates you referenced, their part # RM-521569-4, are a confirmed fit for the 2015 model year with manual transmission. This Roadmaster kit features Twistlock series brackets that are virtually invisible and provide a much cleaner appearance. The written installation instructions are linked for you.
According to my primary resource for flat-towing information, Roadmaster Engineering, the 2015 Honda Fit is flat towable. However, your new Fit owner's manual is the place to check for any cautions or special requirements for flat-towing your exact version.
Safe and legal flat towing requires a number of components in addition to the tow bar and base plates: safety cables, a lighting/wiring solution and a supplementary braking system. The linked article explains each of these in detail and illustrates the options in each category. I also linked articles specifically addressing Roadmaster tow bars and braking systems.
