I loved the blueberry on the website but didn't like in person. Love the tidewater blue but agree it's girly. I just ordered a 2012 base automatic in the metal color.....Have a black 08 element and it is hard to keep clean and I just feel like silver is too common. Here in the northeast, bright cars are the realm of the under 30's.

We ordered silver ourselves - hope to get it by next Saturday. As others have suggested: go to a dealership! Or meet up with some local Fit owners. I would never order a color without seeing it on a real car first.

Just out of curiosity, did you ever run into paint fade with the Milano Red on the prelude? Everyone I've known to have that color, myself included on my BB1 prelude, have had it slowly turn into some weird pinkish color.

Also my vote goes for polished metal metallic, I would have held out for that if they offered it last year

OMG yes any plastic piece on the car will fade to what is commonly referred to in the Honda community as Milano pink but mine took 10 years to do that (gotta wax regularly). Milano Red is a beautiful color plus you don't see allot of red cars these days. Way to many silver cars out there.

for 2012 the raspberry blue, it's unique and looks sharp

The Vortex blue looks great and so does the polished metal metallic

not a fan of the orange or red or another silver car

I was torn between red, orange, and vortex blue for a while. After seeing the orange in person, Im glad I didnt get it. The pre 2012 orange seems nicer. The 2012 orange just didnt look right to me.

I wound up getting red and I love it! Im really glad I picked that color

When I went around to the dealerships my choices were limited to Orange & Red since I wanted a MT. Nothing wrong with Red but I just felt the OBM was a more interesting color and went with it.

Being happy with the car you chose is the ticket though!

Checking dealer inventory now I see there are even less Fits than when I bought back in December an not a one of them is a MT.
