I dropped into a Honda dealership in Duncan BC today and was told that they are expecting a few high-end Fits before the end of July, and a good inventory of all models by the end of August. Prices will not be significantly different from those in the US (whatever that means). Current models are now discounted $2500.

 

That's awesome. I wish the dealers in New Brunswick would get their act together. All 3 I've contacted have different estimates, and not one of them had any info on prices, accessories or color options. Almost tempted to contact dealers in Maine.

 

I live in Victoria BC and wish I had bought mine in Duncan . Campus Victoria suck/I dont need the backlash but your money goes further the more upisland you go.

 

I'm glad it's not just me. Campus Honda always rubs me the wrong way. After this thread, I'll definitely go up island next time!

 

Yeah I love my car it is the best decision to buy a Fit just have to make sure your money goes as far as it can. Good luck with whoever gets the bread your getting a Honda that is all that matters. I would personally buy another 07 if I had too.

 

Any word on arrival to Canada?

 

For guys in the Vancouver area, am informed that the biggest dealer for your area (Province?), has units of GK's in the shipping stock yard (Annacis Island). Just waiting for Honda Canada to release pricing. It looking like an Aug. release date from what my sources are telling me.

You guys will be getting them very soon!!!!

As a refresher, your models will be:
CANADIAN FIT Specs:
DX 6 MT 8.1/6.4/7.3
LX 6 MT 8.1/6.4/7.3
LX CVT 7.0/5.7/6.4
EX 6 MT 8.1/6.4/7.3
EX CVT 7.3/6.1/6.8
EX-L Navi MT 8.1/6.4/7.3
EX-L Navi CVT 7.3/6.1/6.8

 

I'm in Winnipeg, just a short hop from Vancouver by rail (22 hours driving), so I expect we will be seeing them in August as well.

I was planning to buy this spring, but they weren't here, other priorities stepped up, and I fixed my 2003 Ford so it will have to do for now, and maybe another sand/salt/potholed winter.

I'm still looking forward to seeing the 2015, what the pricing/packaging looks like, what Honda will offer on the outgoing 2013s, and hopefully taking the 2015 for a test drive.

Must say I was disappointed in the close ratios of the 6 speed, and even though I've always preferred manual I might look at the CVT for the better efficiency. The test drive might make that decision for me as well.
