Same situation in Vermont. I bought my MR Sport manual sight unseen. I called up the dealer, the salesman said they had finally been able to get one ordered (though he didn't know when it would arrive), and I put down a credit card deposit over the phone. After about a two-month wait, I picked up the car last month. I was told that's the way this dealer sells Fits -- they order them, and then the cars are sold before they arrive at the dealership. They said they were only able to get about two per month. The Fit is in great demand these days. And I doubt the situation will change, with the price of gas going up.
That said, the wait -- and paying MSRP -- was completely worth it. What an outstanding car. Drives great, looks good, very efficient use of interior space, comfortable seats. . . I made another post here about the mileage I got on a recent road trip: 43.1 mpg. My friends are astounded, and a bit jealous.
