Saw 2 Storm Silver Sports on the road
Friday -- first sightings. I saw a Storm Silver Sport in the morning, and another one in the afternoon (second one had a temp plate, so I knew I wasn't seeing the same car again). I was in someone else's car, or I would have honked and waved. I haven't seen any other colors out on the road yet, but I know my dealer sold red, black and blue sports shortly after I drove off in my Storm Silver.

Just bought it today.
Happened to be driving by after they were unloaded from the truck. Still mostly "shrinkwrapped" and has the protective coating on the hood still.
Got it for $100 below MSRP. Funny to be so excited about that.

Sweet, I'm thinking Storm Silver is my choice, but have yet to see a Blue one in person. My dealership is looking but have yet to find one in the southeast. I persoanlly thbink of the colors I have seen in person that the Storm Silver makes the Fit look bolder and the lines evolve better. And it doesn't look so high waisted either. Anyway, sweet ride and keep us posted....thanx for the pics..

Silver is a classic color, so it's OK.
Seems that dealers are ordering far more Sport models over the Base models, FWIW.

Fit in North Portland
I like to think that it was MY SS Fit that you saw in North Portland! Got it from St. John's Honda, and LOVE IT. (take the St. John's bridge to Skyline Drive to open it up and test the handling)

It probably was! Funny that I've only seen silver so far. I've seen three... one was at a gas station at Lombard and Interstate (about a month ago?). One was driving southbound on I-5 before it splits to go over the Fremont Bridge. The other I've seen a few times at NW 23rd and Raleigh (roughly) on my way home from work. 
I ordered mine from Ron Tonkin Toyota, and my friend's parents ordered their blue from the same shipment.
And nice idea about having fun on Skyline
