All depends on dealer stock. In the few months before I bought my car the local dealer had 20+ Fits on the lot and didn't start moving them until C4C. I decided to buy mine before I had my other car sold because I knew it'd be hard to find my color. When I bought my car they had one left on the lot and had to do a dealer swap with a dealer over an hour away to get my TW. If you can wait for your color, do it. I enjoy looking at other color fits (except tidewater blue, sorry guys!) but I would not have bought any other color than Taffeta White!. I especially think SSM and the blue are real nice but there's no way I'll buy another SSM or a dark color car.

 

Thanks everyone for your replies.
I just purchased a 2010 White Sport manual.
16,739 before taxes. Bought it in Alburqueque, NM. Will drive it home to LA in a week.

 

I think the biggest reason it is so hard to find Taffeta White in manual form is because they don't even offer that here in Japan. They have the color of course, but not in any of the 1.5 liter engine models, only the 1.3 G gets it. I purchased mine in white, it is the Premium White Pearl, which cost me another $350 over the other colors besides Premium Deep Violet and Premium Yellow, but I wanted the Fit to somewhat remind me of my old 5R Integra which was Championship White. They are similar, but of course different. JapanColors not sure why I'm even posting the link, but thought maybe somebody out there is curious what is available in the Fit's homeland.

You would think HofA would be letting Honda know that TW seems to be sought after more than the other colors. Does it come down to the dealers and what they order, I would think yes. Who knows, maybe Honda here in Japan just allocates numbers to HofA and then the dealers in the US start placing orders based on allocation from Japan. I know no matter what, here in Japan you don't walk out the door the same day you purchase, at least for me back in 2003 when I purchased the IntegraR it took almost 3 months before delivery and the Fit this time is taking about 7 weeks. Then again, maybe other manufacturers are slightly different here, but that is the good thing about Japan and their car dealers here, they are not over filling their lots and then needing to drastically cut prices when they aren't selling cars and then later asking for Government handouts because they are broken.

 

bottom right white one has side markers... me wants them. Well with about a week behind the wheel, I can definitely say I am happy with my TW 5spd. It came with lame looking pinstripes on it but a blow dryer and a little goo gone took care of that. Its so big, white, and cute, I decided to name it Marshmallow.

 

I'd like to chime in and say it took me 2 months of chatting with every dealer in a 50 mile radius to get a TW 2009 Fit Sport Manual back in Sep-Oct 08 (for MSRP).

Though, I also had the luck to run into a model with Navigation/VSA, and with Honda dropping the availability of a Fit Sport w/ Navi in manual for 2010, I kinda got a unicorn

 

damn, epoch,.. i was trying to be as lucky as you were but to no avail. i was crushed when the dealer told me 2010's navigation models had to be had with the auto.. lol... but after about 5 days of my local dealer looking they located me a 2010 and i shoud be picking it up tomorrow night. for those who cant find one, expand your search. seems like some areas have more than others.

 

Luck wasn't involved until the end. I called up every internet sales manager I was willing to drive to, told him how much in cash I had and that the first dealership to offer me on a TW Fit Sport for MSRP would have the sale finalized within 2 hours. Then proceeded to check up on all of the willing sales guys until one dealer got one, but wanted $500 over. I stood my ground till the end of the month, and as I promised, once offered at MSRP, the sale was closed within 2 hours

 

lol.. sounds like a hassle... i've bought two other hondas, a 08 fit, and a 09 civic ex (gf's car), so they take care of me.. gettin a couple hundred off msrp, and a few accessories for free.. and its 10-15 miles away from my house! but until he called me with the good news, i was doing my own searching on the web and making fone calls, so i feel your pain. cant wait to pick it up!

 

i got lucky, just celebrated my one year anniversary with my TW 09 mt...

 

So the deal is done. . Picking it up Monday night

 

Just arrived to LA in my white 2010 fit manual. Cruises great on the highway. 800 miles on the odometer from Albuquerque, NM. Slept in the hatch in the desert, was freezing cold outside. The hatch can't be opened from the inside? That's sux. Also the light near the hatch door can't be turned on without opening the hatch?

Got 41 mpg going between 60 and 70 mpg. Just installed wheel locks, paid 40$ for them from my brother who works at a honda dealer.

Now what do I do to damn protect it from LA thieves? I am looking for a big wrap steering wheel lock...
