Reason for Fit delay to the USA ???

Here is a interesting You Tube video, from an unhappy 2015 Fit owner in Brazil where they speak Portuguese...... He finds fault with a couple of trim areas on his new car and has already notified Honda about them. He is not recommending the car to anyone...


Can his experience have anything to do with the 2 month delay for the USA?


Hopefully someone with a good understanding of Portuguese can translate the whole video for us. Not a lot is the same as Spanish, which is where my impression of the video came from.

Hondas are manufactured at ten plants around the world including Brazil.

Probably not built in Brazil.

I neglected to add that one of the video owner's comments seems to be that if the car had been built by Brazilians, it would not have the trim problems his car has. Again, he is speaking Portuguese and my Spanish speaker is figuring some of this out....


Are there any Portuguese speaking Fit fans, to correctly translate the video for us?


Being in Brazil, the Fit owner in the video is on the correct side of the oceans, that his car may have come from the Celaya, Mexico plant.

From what i've found, Brazilian Fits are built in Brazil and Honda is building a second plant in Sumare to double production.

New Fit seen as Honda Brazil's new main model
