Since it's selling like hot cakes I wonder how that will affect how we (US) get our Fits? Will we still get them from Japan or somewhere else? Some people here would loathe the thought of buying a Fit made from the U.S. but I wouldn't mind.....aren't the civics and corollas built here without too many problems. Haven't done any research on that but I also haven't seen any massive recalls in the news on them.
