Nope but I think that one was an option in Canada for the 2008. The Blue Sensation I'm sure about since that was the color of the 2009 Honda Fit at the Vancouver Auto Show this year. There is a "lighter blue" which I figure can only be Tidewater....

 

Oh I think that's one you'd have to see in person before putting down a deposit. It could go either way. I had my sister in Texas go look at a Tidewater Blue in person, to give me her opinion (she knows my tastes bang on). She highly recommended it for me vs. say the Storm Silver....

 

Just got back from the dealership after test driving the LX model. I really like it! The trims are so different from the US and there's no Canadian brochures or info from Honda.ca yet, but lucky for me the sales guy printed a pdf document meant for sales people only. The LX and Sport trim are very similar, in fact the LX has the rear spoiler that was previously a Sport trim only. Only difference is wheels are 15" lightweight aluminum-alloy for the LX, and 16" aluminum-alloy on the Sport. The Sport also has the USB/ipod adapter, 6 speaker stereo (vs 4), and black cloth interior. All other trims have grey cloth interior.

But the one thing all the trims are missing -- and this one is almost a deal breaker for me -- is steering wheel mounted audio controls. This seems to be part of the US Sport trim but is not included for us Canadians! After being so used to my Mazda3 audio controls I may not be able to live without having it. I know sad isn't it?

 

I ordered my Orange '09 Sport sight unseen in July too... I don't get it until mid November though :-(

 

Unfortunately, in the US steering wheel mounted audio controls are only available on the Sport w/navi. I, like you, am rather annoyed at this oversight. It's already bad enough that here in the US you have to order navi to get VSA -- that I can accept. But not putting audio controls in the steering wheel is surprising, especially since it's available on econoboxes such as the Chevy Aveo. I wouldn't be surprised if it's included in the '10 sport, but I don't want to wait another year just for that. I guess I'll have to get used to changing channels the old fashioned way, which will suck for a while until I detox.

 

I feel ya. If they do add it to the regular Sport trim in '10 I will kick myself if I buy an '09 Sport. I'm hoping though that maybe I can upgrade the '09 steering wheel to add the audio controls as an accessory in the future?

 

Assuming Honda adds the audio control functionality next year, I think it's a strong possibility to upgrade the '09 (though I wouldn't want to guess how much this would cost). That said, I'd imagine that it'd be a lot less expensive than purchasing the navi for $1850 just to get the controls. Actually, VSA comes with it too, so for some it's probably worth it.

 

I wonder if it would be possible to update the '09 Sport with the steering wheel from the '09 Sport w/ Nav?

 

Grey interior on the LX? Clearly we need pictures of this model posted ASAP! I've yet to see interior pictures of any Canadian model and for outside shots, only the Sport. Could someone PLEASE get pictures posted for an LX model? I'm in Sudbury ON so ours still have not arrived...

 

I test drive yesterday, no more paddle shift for fit sport.....

Why don't I get the 2008!!!

 

Info on the 2009 Fit is up on Honda Canada's site.

It appears that we are getting Tidewater Blue.

 

Yup. Saw two here at a Vancouver dealership, both with "Sold" signs on them. Neat color. Ranges from very light powder blue to very light purple.
