Nice shot! Sun is not always your best friend, great details here.

I was down the coast yesterday in my OBM Fit and was in a small little town getting out of my car when a couple who were walking past said they really loved the color of my car.

Guess that just goes to show that the color really stands out in a crowd.

The Orange Burst Metallic Rocks!

Road trip through Arkansas, Talimena Skyway



36 mpg average, have not seen ANY Fits here so far so it certainly stands out

I got my Orangeburst Fit on Monday. I wanted the orange the first time I saw it. My previous car was a purple Toyota Celica so my family and friends weren't shocked when I said that I wanted the orange. I started searching for a new car when my Celica's struts went, it was a '97 and it was just time. So I started researching a few weeks ago. There were plenty new orange Fits out there when I first started searching and only 2 (2012s) were left in the entire state of MA this past weekend (that I could find). I snagged one of them!!! I was actually really surprised because I remembered the orange as being more yellowish (which I now know is the orange revolution) as I was looking at used Fits first. So when I saw the Orangeburst I was SOOOO happy with that color. Such an improvement! Like someone mentioned before, I call it "The Pumpkin" or "The Spitfire". The style and color totally "Fit" who I am...everyone says that is definitely suited for me.

I'm thinking about getting the side moldings to stop dings from opening doors as I live in a condo complex but I'm not sure yet.

Unfortunately it was cloudy when I took these pictures.

Does anyone have any production numbers with regards as to exactly how many OBM Fits were built?

Another orangeburst owner

I bought a used 2012 orangeburst Fit Sport last May. I very rarely saw this color but liked it when I did. Maybe that's part of the reason why I like it, it is not the same as 90% of the cars out there...white/silver/black/gray. I always had silver cars as they don't show dirt and I rarely washed them. I wanted an actual COLOR this time. I saw orangeburst or a close match on other cars like the Element and some GM's.

In the summer of 2013 I saw a used orangeburst Fit for sale but it was a stick and I wanted an automatic this time. I saw the car I bought and took it for a ride. The color and excellent price sealed the deal for me. I watched this car on the net at this dealer for a long time and think that was why I got a good price. The dealer had a black one with lower miles that sold very quickly. I have only seen maybe 5 orangeburst Fits in a year, so they are quite rare and I'm sure why Honda dropped this color. I'm not crazy about the colors on the 2015 Fit.
