Question Are the 2012's still GE's?

My 2010 has a GE in the VIN number do the 2012's?

Did the 2008's have GE in them even though they were mostly cosmetic changes on the GD?

Just for the record, the 2008 GEs sold everywhere else (but places like US & Canada) are a totally different chassis than what we have here (in the US & Canada) for the same model year.

With that said, as long as the 4th and 5th characters in the VIN are GE then at car is in fact a GE regardless of the model year it was made.

So pretty much if you are in Japan during October of '08 and just picked up a manual Fit Sport with the top of the range engine (1.5 i-VTEC L15A7). More than likely your vehicle's VIN would start off as, "JHMGE87608".

If you picked up a manual Fit Sport in the US or Canada the exact same time frame (Oct of '08), your VIN would have started out as, "JHMGD37608". If you picked up the M/T sport a year later (Oct of '09) in the US or Canada then your would have started as, "JHMGE87609".
