Three models for USA?
Stopped by my dealer in Walnut Creek California today to see when they expected to get "Fit's-in". They have three on order, insisting that each one is a different model! I know dealers don't always have the correct "scoop", but the sales manager seemed confident.
Could it be that we may get a "middle model" with most of the sport equipment sans the "teenager in heat" plastic? Nothing else I have seen supports this notion, but here's hoping. |
Canada is getting 3 models, but everything that's out there points to only 2 in the US.

welll
if the civic can have a lx dx and ex which are
just contrived 'extras' packages, why can't the fit? |
Canada's Sport is the same as the US, LX is the same as the US base, and DX lacks air conditioning and power windows/locks.
The dealer may be counting manual and automatic transmissions as different models. |
I would have to agree with "kps". All that I have heard is 2 models for the US.

does anyone know what the prices of the different models will be yet? In Canada i mean... thanks

I don't think anyone knows about the price yet. There is that very general sales figure on the Honda USA website. It's listed as starting between $13000-14000 USD. I'm unsure of the conversion to Canadian currency. However, it should be noted that this figure is only indicative of the base-model. If you're interested in the sport, that will likely add a few thousand to the cost. Hope this helps! |

The US market is only getting two models - base and sport.
|
I would guess the dealership ordered a base model, a Sport model with the 5AT, and a Sport model with 5MT.

The lies of some of these salespeople is stunning. Is there a way to publish the dealers who tell us lies and boycott them. Or report them to Honda.
|
You are right, I work for a Honda dealership. We were told from Honda that our initial shipments would include 1 base 5 speed manual, 1 sport 5 speed manual and 1 sport 5 speed automatic. Currently we have no idea what colors these car will be. Our next shipment, which we do not have a build date, after our 1st allocation included just 1 sport trim level. Which I have on reserve for myself.

Employees laying their hands on hard to get Honda models will be whipped at dawn by the consumers on this boardhttps://www.fitfreak.net/forums/imag...ies/tongue.gif

o wow... i didn't realize how short the supply would be... should i be concerned about not being able to find the FIT of my choice when it first comes out? i really need the car by May... should i think about reserving one well in advance of april's release date?
|
Walnut Creek Dealer called back today, the order is now for five cars - one a 5 speed manual, the other 4 all automatics - all in sport trim - needless to say I will pass!
|
I don't think there will be a shortage. Just that until they are here, they aren't. May looks good. I would register your interest to give the dealer an idea of what to order. If they jerk you around go to another dealer.

hi, i put down a deposit for my cousin for a fit just last week at walnut creek honda for a VBP fit in sports model. They only have five comming in so far. They said no markup, MSRP... but no one knows the prices so...
I am thinking of depositing 500 to hold a red one for myself but we will see |
Dealers that are claiming the Fit will be in short supply is full of shit. Initially they are getting 3 or 5 or whatever in their FIRST shipment but a week later, they will arrive by the boatload.
Unlike most here, I'm not pre-ordering. Why? The Fit is an entry level car and its ridiculous to pay full MSRP just so you can say you had it a week sooner. When its out, I'm just going to the dealer, negotiate for a Sport in Orange for invoice. |

If they sell the Fit for more than MSRP, they can keep it.
I do want a Fit, but not that badly. |
