I bought a NHBP but it WAS NOT my first choice. I was dead set on TW, and they even had one there for me. I went there at like 10am, they had a TW, NHBP and a VBP all of them S AT's. I liked the NHBP but not as much as i liked the TW. So i told the salesman to hold the TW for me and he agreed. I left with my dad to go pick up my mom to check out the car. Whuile at my house, we get a call from the sales man saying the TW is GONE!! I was NOT HAPPY at all and almost didnt go back, but i wanted a Fit so bad i just settled on the NHBP. Im not regretting that decision too much, but i do wish i had the awesome TW!

1st was Orange, but it was the first fit that hit the dealer lot and i was ok with that until all the other fits were orange. Then for my second i wanted blue or black but all they had was storm silver for the whole 3 central provinces they said. So i took gray and once you are inside, you forget what actual colour your car is. Ideally i'd have taken pink like they have in malaysia. That is all.

Well my dealer didn't have any of the colors I wanted but said they could get it pretty quick which they did. I didn't have a "for sure" color other than I knew it had to be red white or blue (I am a pretty basic guy). I had seen a white one at work (only 1 of 2 fits I have ever seen in r.l. until I bought mine) and knew that color would work for me. Past 2 cars were white so I knew I couldn't go wrong but I still wanted to see the other colors anyway. Then I found out that Honda didn't make white anymore so it was between blue and red. This summer I bought a Kawasaki bike in the same color as what you guys call VBP. I really liked that color and so does everyone else apparently as I have had kids, girls, you name , come up comment on the bike. But I also like shiny fire engine red and since a good garage contrast is nice, I confirmed that the red was in fact shiny fire engine red. And now she sits in my garage next to the VBP bike!.

I wanted to get the black sport, and seemed dead set on it. They had the Sport AT in both black and vivid blue pearl, and a friend came with me. He liked the blue better, and I sort of looked at it again thinking the blue did look smart. The real clincher came when I saw the odometers. The black one had been on the lot and test driven quite a bit while the blue only had 7 miles on it. That was it for me. Now I'm a big fan of the VBP. I have a matching Honda mug, got the interior trim, and even found a toy version from Japan in the same color.


I like all the colors though... none of them look bad to me. I only wish I could have seen yellow on the lot too.

When i went to the dealer I just went to watch the Fit, and did not had any idea of what color it looked better. I was given the catalog, and did not know still since they looked kind of cheap in the pictures. Then i just thought id get it gray (SSM) since its kind of a neutral color and all cars usually look good on that color but when i went to the lot, there was no gray sport, only red,black and taffeta white. Red looked kind of un shiny, blacks were all mad dirty and the only clean shiny Fit was the taffeta white in the showroom, which I ordered them to take out really dont regret it

bump to get more accurate response --
is there an equal amount of each color?
i thought car companies spread out and put darker colors up north more and gave lighter colors to warmer weather climates- just bc they "think" it sells better that way...
it seems like black is all i see and then vivid blues- i have yet to see a silver fit on the road
but its the most pop color?

I had 3 color choices. VBP, TW, MR. I really didnt want a red car. Something about Milano that really caught my eye so I added it to the list. My heart was for VBP.

When I got my car colors werent really an option. What ever Fit Sport in 5speed that was on the lot is what you got due to the high demand.

When I went to Classic all I wanted to know was what 5speed Fits were coming in. The last ones they were getting were a SSM and MR. The SSM was coming in too soon and I didnt have enough for a down payment.

So I got my baby instead.

My first choice was TW, then NHBP, then VBP. Test drove a base SSM auto. They said the only 5 speed coming in was VBP. 3 months later my car came in in VBP. I hadnt even seen the color ever.

Like a fool, I thought I would go into the dealer and look at all the fits lined up in all the different colors and then decide which color I liked best.
I made up my mind to buy the fit sport based on what I read online. The local dealer had only one fit sport available, BOM. So I bought it and am very happy with the color.

The pole kinda sucks cause i have 2 fits now and can only post 1. haha. It all worked out well cause i wanted MR for me and they had it and today when i went with the wife she was dead set on NHBP and thats the only one they had that wasnt sold so we both won. There was a BOM sitting there but it was sold and waiting to be picked up. She really didnt want that color.

white was my first choice, but i was unable to get it so I went with MR. When I got to my dealer there was actually a white one there that another person was picking up. Seeing the two colors next to eachother made me much happier that I have red than white. But I love them both, however, i love my MR more and I have gotten many compliments on the color!!

I bought the Nighthawk black. Only one available at the dealer. They had two orange sports, but I wasn't down with that so ran with the black. It was my first color choice too.
