21304 - 1225$ freight & PDI - 20079$
That's 300$ less than a Civic LX 4 door. Not the best way to fill a gap left by the Civic going upmarket.
If that was a Fit Sport with Autmatic transmission (1200$ option on the Civic), then it might work.

I plan on harrasing Honda to build be a sunroof equipped Fit. I might even push for heated mirrors and rear disks and yellow paint. IMO, the heated mirrors should be standard equipment on the Sport, if not all Fits sold in Canada.

He actually said approx $19,900 + all the add-on costs coming to $24,500.
And yes, it is for a Fit Sport automatic.
He probably quoted that amount because that is almost exactly the cost of the Yaris - only the Yaris for that price would come with a moonroof.
I agree that heated mirrors should definitely be standard equipment for all cars sold in Canada.
Looks like we won't have to wait until April 20 though, like some of our American friends are saying.

What bugs me is that the Suzuki/Pontiac/Chevrolet Swift/Wave/Aveo are available with heated mirrors and a power sunroof. The Pontiac Wave with every option on their website (5 speed manual), lists for 19135$.
Only option box missing was Honda build quality, fuel economy, reliability and resale value.

I’m sure if enough people were serious about getting a Fit Sport with a power sunroof, heated mirrors and rear disks for say, a 1500-2000$ premium, they’d likely consider doing it as a Sport Premium package. They have all the parts available to them; they just need to install them on the Fit destined for Canada and the US.

I'm in Ontario, we pay GST and PST on most items. My wife and I keep joking about moving to Alberta. Lower taxation, better school funding, etc. One of the advantages of having oil to sell to the US. Just not too crazy about Ralph Klein and some of his ideas. And we'd have to bring the grand-parents too!

It will take more than 6 months that's for sure, probably more than a year if it ever happens. He needs the support of another party for that to happen, and all the other parties wanted to reduce taxes in a different way, or use the funds elsewhere.

If I bought it in Alberta, and registered here in Manitoba. I would have to pay the PST (7%) at the time of registration. Even on a used car bought in MB, you have to pay PST on it. So fu***** gahy.
