Mannn I wish they introduced BBP in 07...I would have waited months for it! Reminds me of my favorite car colour, came from a GTR34 V-Spec II, Midnight Purple Pearl...

It seems like regular prices for the 07. Keep in mind the $595 destination charge.

Here in Canada a 2007 5 speed Fit Sport goes for $19,500 plus $1200 for shipping. Even though our dollar is just under $0.95 USD today...seems to be Honda makes a pretty good profit off of Canadians. These prices are pretty well the same when our dollar was floating around the $0.75 USD mark. Other models that are include: Accords - starts at 25 thousand here, S2000 - starts at just over 50 thousand, Element - starts at 25 thousand, Ridgelines start at over 35 thousand....thats just to name a few. And its just not Honda doing this...many other companies are taking full advantage of our rising dollar by not lowering prices.

haha...tell me about it. I can really see some canadians heading south of the border to buy cars...even after the duty fees, you'll still come out ahead. Im not sure if the american MT fill get the higher MPG...the Honda Canada website still shows the 2007 Fit. The Gov't of Canada has an ecoAuto program where certain car buyers get rebates. The magic number was an avg of 6.5 liters per 100km. The Yaris was the only car in the subcompact class that got this...hence driving up the sales of the Yaris in Canada. The Honda Fit was had an average rating of 6.6 liters per 100km. I heard they managed to find more MPG by internal tinkering....Id say they just changed the gearing in the tranny a bit....since they couldnt improve the MPG in the auto Fit. I heard a rumor in Canada that for 2008, we are losing the bright silver color and the orange metallic color....we are supposed to get Taffeta White and BBP. *Crossing Fingers that we get Taffeta White*
