2008 MT Fits in Canada eligible for $1k ecoAuto rebate :)
Check it out - the 2008 Fits (manual transmission only) are eligible for the $1000 ecoAuto rebate as expected... sweet deal
2008 Model Year - Eligible Vehicles - ecoAUTO - Transport Canada
Unfortunately the auto transmission ones didn't have good enough fuel efficiency to fit within their cutoff or whatever (which is why Honda had a $750 factory rebate on the AT Fits since a few months back or whenever that offer had just started).
Anyway, pretty cool... I know a lot of us have been waiting for this for a while...

if hcfi would offer finance/lease rates a bit closer to that of a civic that would be evemroe wicked. hopefully they'll have something better in their next promo after the current one runs out jan 2nd.

Yeah, because the 2007 Fits were like .1 litre/100km aboev the cutoff that the government set for the 2007 ecoAuto rebate, and Honda was pissed and offered that to make up for it as a statement about how lame it was that their car wasn't included. They then made the 2008 Fit just enough more efficient (or scammed the test results ) so that it would fit within that cutoff for this year.

Yeah, it's still linked on the front page of honda.ca , at the lower left. Link to the page here: Honda Canada If you get the average of the fuel effiency of the 2007 Fit by adding the hwy/city fuel usage and divide by two (actually I think they take like 55% hwy, 45% city or something), you'll see it's like 0.1 or 0.2 L/100km above the Yaris for 2007. Do the same with the 2008 Fit and it's down to 6.5L/100km, just barely within the seemingly-arbitrary required amount for the rebate...
