It depends on the size of the engine. Your Honda Fit has what, 1.5L? Honda gave it more revs so power in the top gear would be better. If it were 2.0L, to maintain approximately the same level of reserve power you would only need 2250rpm. So in fact, it is the BRZ that is revving too high, not your Fit.
The reason they use a smaller engine is it has lower frictional losses at the same rpm (but not power!), and is cheaper to manufacture.
