I know its a base but its manual in VBP and in Milwaukee. Its just sitting at the dealership. I am not sure how common Fits right now are sitting at dealerships but the kicker is that it is manual and I know thats hard to find. Russ Darrow Honda in Milwaukee on Brown Deer Road. I bought my Fit there...treat you well. I got my bumpers repainted there as soon as I brought it up.

I saw that Fit, sitting next to a Suzuki and A Nissan Versa. I drive by Russ Darrow every day on the way to work. I got my Sport VBP 5manual at david Hobbs Back in May.

I bought it!!!

Purchased on Tue and picked up on
Thur. I wanted a blue sport, but Boyland (where my deposit has been down since mid July) told me on Mon they can't order a M/T until next year. Russ Darrow confirmed that, said in the allocation request software the option to select "manual" is greyed out and will be until next year. So I got my VBP manual!!!!

I forgot this thread had been here until I received email from Russ Darrow on Tue saying this car was available. Great place. I'll be posting more about this in the Dealer forum and probably one of the "cant get manual" threads.

Sweeeeet car.

Congrats cjucoder! I know you'll love the car. Got the Sport AT myself but had a great drive of a Base MT. Too bad the dealership had added a bunch of mods that took the price up over the Sport or I would have purchased that.

(edited in note: in case it unclear, the Base MT I drove was not the same as the one cjucoder bought)

The only thing they added was the that crazy "environmental package". Don't worry, I certainly did not pay that and got some stuff thrown in as compensation. I paid less than I would have if my Sport at MSRP came in. If they would have insisted on what the sticker on the car was I would have walked.
