Thumbs up Blue Raspberry Metallic

People were wondering what the new Honda would look like in this color. Here are two images I got off the Honda website.

The 2012 Honda Fit Overview - Official Site website has been updated to the 2012 model.

Nice to see them around, but I wouldn't buy one. To me, the second choice to my TW would only be yellow (bright yellow).

And importing one from europe or painting one yellow would not be feasable...

I LOVE the bright yellow ~ like the one the forum header, but of course they aren't available in 2012.

Awesome- please post some photos when you get it! I love the color.

Honda seems to keep some of their basic colors standard from year to year- red, white, black, silver but plays around with the shades of blue, purple & green. Only these shades change. They have had Vivid Blue Pearl, Lunar Mist, Blue Sensation Pearl, Tidewater Blue Metallic, Blackberry Pearl Metallic, Celestial Blue & now Blue Raspberry Metallic.

I just looked up the Tidewater Blue Metallic....it is PURDY!!!!
I love all the blue shades and that Blackberry Pearl, but my next favorite color in the Fit is the bright yellow.

There is a 2000 Tiberon I keep seeing around here that is a classy pastel yellow. I love that car/color. I don't think it would be too great on a Fit however.

I'll post some pics as soon as we pick it up!

Took these pics this morning in front of where I work lol.

2012's have been rolling in since late September, at least here in California. We're lucky to get this color in, and from what I've heard this color is really hot, especially for the ladies.

Wow- looks much prettier in real life! Much brighter and more turquoise color.
California dealers have the 2012 Fit. I am in Colorado and no 2012's yet. I was at my dealer on Saturday for an oil change & one of the salesman offered to buy my 2010 fit- he said he has two people looking for a used fit - they only had 3 new 2011's on the lot. I said I like my color and would not trade for the silver or blacks they had on the lot.

I am not sure if I like this color. It indeed looks very feminine. Kind of unique but kind of bleak color. I like bright colors more.

Yeah, Honda World in Downey had about 3-4 2012's 3 weeks ago. Both base and sports.

Kind a cool color. Would look great tinted, black/gunmetal or gray wheels and some carbon fiber accents.

WOWOW....what's wrong with this picture?? Name:  BU_base_34FRONT.png
Views: 623
Size:  62.4 KB Honda's website and your photos look nothing alike. Your photos look like there is little or more like NO metallic! I am confused, although both are nice. It's weird that they differ so much.


HEY 1SickVeilsideZ, since your GF got one last night, tell me which picture is more true to life. =)

Sunlight and shadows will do strange things to photos. I have a Tidewater Blue- when it is overcast & cloudy it looks a bluish silver, in nice sunlight it has blue-purple highlights --almost periwinkle. In other lights, it can look silver. I like how the color varies. Like driving a different car whenever the weather changes

some honda colors are different online and in literature. Some of the reds and browns are different.

I do like the idea of this color w/ tinted windows and gunmetal wheels with teal lugs. nice.

It is however feminine and i don't know if any guy would rock this color.

Periwinkle is my FAVORITE shade of a blue...I wish they actually made a true periwinkle.

It looks nothing like the HONDA picture, the color I would say is a bit more turquoise (spell check) in color. It is really nice though!
