Not to make trouble:
this was just "gleamed" from Edmunds Fit Forum
Let the ripping replys commence....

#1098 of 1099 Release date... by punkrockpaul Dec 14, 2005 (9:11 am)
I was in getting an oil change for my 93 civic hatchback, and looking at the cars in the dealership lobby (the new civic specifically). One of the salesman asked me if I liked it, and i said yeah but i'm waiting for the Fit. Seriously he said? yeah, i said. we talked about it alittle, and he mentioned that the new civic is selling so well that they're pushing back the fit release until May from March. *disclaimer* he also said something about it being made in the US, which i don't believe is true (I thought I'd read Brazil somewhere on here maybe). so maybe he's just talking up some crap, but he wasn't pushy or anything, so it could be true, which would suck!!!

 

I think they are trying to sell the Civics now. If they had a Civic hatchback with four doors in the US, I'd buy one now, but they don't, and I can't really import one from France (if someone knows how I can, let me know). I don't want or need a sedan.

I used to have a 93 Civic 2-door hatch that was made in Canada.

I hope he's wrong about the Fit date. If not, Toyota here I come!

 

same here, I'd be all over the civic hatch they have in Europe... but than I think I've mentioned that a few times in here

 

Sounds like a typical salesman

 

My friend, who is also a Honda salesman, said they'd have Fits in by Spring. I know it's a bit general, so take it for what it's worth.
