I believe they have not only raised the delivery price, but also the base price of the 2015 Honda Fit!

Oh yeah, for sure. It looks to be $155 or so higher.

When I bought my EX M/T, the base was $17,435 plus $790 destination fee, so $18,225 total.

The base on the EX M/T is now $17,560 plus an $820 destination fee, for a total of $18,380.

I wonder if it is so they can sell them at the original, lower base prices and have people think they paid "less than MSRP." I don't often curse on these forums but, F that! Get your act together and fix these stupid, avoidable Q/C issues before raising the prices. There's a whole internet full of stellar *paid for* reviews of the Fit, and not so stellar *unsolicited* user reports. Granted, your average buyer won't do their homework to find that information, but when the consumers that DID do the research are ALSO met with a higher price, they will not be happy and at least some will pass all together.

Raising the prices is probably what Honda had to do get more quality workers and QC at the new plant. They announced 2nd shift to keep up with the demand.

Lucky it's not a huge jump in prices so it's not too bad.
