lol wow seems like I got lucky! I checked out another Honda dealership before I took delivery of my VBP Fit to see all of the colours, they had a Storm Silver Metallic and even a Blaze Orange Metallic with no names on them...

Purchase methods were different I guess. I looked for the best deal around, regardless of delivery date (admittedly, it's not much)

If you looked around to what was in stock, I'm sure you could have gotten one sooner.

"it all depends on allocation"...
lol.

if you aren't picky and said the first available one, I'm sure they'll get you on quick. however like myself, I asked for a blue sport and the dealership was fresh out of allocations, had to wait til this month

I originally chose Milano Red at Crowfoot Honda because that was the only colour I saw and I liked it. But they said there was a Blue Sport with the specs I wanted, and that they would put my name on it first, pending if I liked the colour. If I didn't I could wait. When it came in, totally fell in love with the VBP, and took it right away! Like kennyt said, it's how picky you are and how lucky you get.

If you are in the NW, I highly suggest going to Crowfoot Honda and to deal with Lee. He is a great salesman, the GM there is not pushy at all. Service there in general is excellent! If you do decide to go there, tell Lee that Justin with the Blue Fit sent you!

Congratulations kennyt!!!!! I actually went to my dealership today and asked if there were any 07 Fit Sport in MT, and he said there was none to be had...glad to hear yours finally came in. We should get together for a meet on Saturday if that is your pickup date, I'll be in the NE anyways since I gotta work as well...

On another good note, I GET MY RIMS TOMORROW YAAAAA!!!

Yeah I haven't seen Robert since Winter semester ended...he's probably busy with ENGG349 haha...

For rims, I got Enkei RS7's...light and has a dark finish...I opted for the anthracite finish. Size is 17x7 with +42 offset. For rubber I went with Kumho SPT's with dimensions of 205/40/17. Oh man I can't wait for tomorrow morning!
