They aren't very good -- I haven't gotten the hang of good photography with my Blackberry Z30 yet, but....

I think you have to turn it on first and take a pic.

I figured out the posting part, anyway.

Congrats! Did you end up getting the car that was at the NE Auto Show?

I did. I checked it out really well, and, really, the only thing I was adamant about was a new battery. Those lights were on all day every day.

I love it. LOVE it. I always loved most things about my '06 Civic, but there were 4 things I really wasn't loving.

The A pillar was just too wide, and caused a huge blind spot for me on any curvy road.

I'm short, and the coupe did not have adjustable height seat belts. That meant that most of the time my seat belt was across my trachea.

No rear window wiper.

And, as much as I hated to give up my manual transmission, sciatica, and the fact that I had to sit too close to the steering wheel if I wanted to be able to fully engage the clutch, meant I needed to go with an automatic.

I am scratching my head over the placement of the gas cap release, though.

Had there been a Passion Berry EX-L available around here (Pittsburgh, PA), that's what my wife would have purchased. It's a very pretty color, a bit understated.

But there wasn't, so she has an Aegean Blue LX, which she loves.

You'll be very happy with yours!

I call it, "Deep Purple" and we love it. There were two new EX-CVTs just off the truck and still in shrink wrap when we bought ours. Mrs. Loves Purple (who was wearing a purple sweater that day) made the choice of the PBP, but we both thought the Aegean Blue was gorgeous as well. She told me (who'd commute with it) it would be a chick magnet and really turn their heads. She was right... but they're all 50+ ...which at my age are "young chicks", LOL.

Congrats on a beautiful new Fit!

The blue is beautiful, if you like blue. I mean, I don't dislike blue, but it's not "my" color. . (-:

Hi Acter, I like to watch the currrent Fit exposure to the USA market on youtube. Perhaps you do too, but in case you have not watched it, here's a strangely long walk-around for a passionberry EX for which I thought you might enjoy the music track.

Thanks, Fitster C. I do enjoy them, and that is one I had not seen.

Funny?? Wasn't meant to be sarcastic. Didn't realize you had more snow from the post made 2/3. In any case, await your impressions. Enjoy the drive (when the roads clear)!!!

Oops. Sorry! I honestly thoughty you were being facetious. Yeah, we got a couple of snow falls and are expecting more. I'm loving the remote start, though!


Oh, I see the confusion. By "finally clear of snow", I meant it had been dug out.
