operative with respect to past occurrences, as a statute; retrospective: a retroactive law. 2.pertaining to a pay raise effective as of a past date.

Sweeeeeeet...so I guess ALL of us get that rebate? They did include 06 Civics, and I doubt they are still selling them unless they are at a discounted price now that all of the 07's are out...

EDIT:

As quoted from the site:
"Honda's counterattack: the Honda Benefit, a $1,000 incentive for everyone who purchases or leases a manual or automatic 2007 Fit, or a 2006 or 2007 manual Civic. The Civic Si Coupe is excluded. The rebate also applies retroactively to March 20th, 2007, so those who bought one of the models mentioned above will also take advantage from the Honda Benefit."

"Getting the rebate is easy: if you've already purchased a qualifying vehicle (March 20th or earlier), just contact your dealer, and Honda will promptly mail you a cheque. Future buyers will get the rebate at the time of purchase or lease."

What do you guys think? I don't think my English is bad at all, and my interpretation is that ANY 06 or 07 Civic (except Si) and ANY Fit purchased qualifies. Someone please confirm I'm not retarded or am misreading this...otherwise I'm going to be calling into my dealer and asking for my rebate!

The only part of that article that makes me look twice is when they say "rebate also applies retroactively to March 20th, 2007" which sounds like it only goes back TO that date and not prior...unless they are only talking about people who recently bought one...maybe all of us who purchased earlier will get the rebate ONLY if we call in...
