Blue isn't popular. (or question mark)

Out of all the dealers I've seen on H-T and on here, I have not seen one blue Fit come in. They've all been mostly White, Black, and Silver. I've seen a handful of reds, but thats it. No oranges either (except for AJ Racing). But the weird thing is that I haven't seen anyone order a blue either. Are they not that popular? Does not one like them?

I like the blue - and so does my girlfriend. We saw all the Canadian colours, except for white at a local dealer over the weekend (when they were closed!!).

I've seen two on the road so far - one blue, one alabaster silver. So, at least 50% of Canadians Fit buyers polled like the blue!

Blue was my 2nd choice. I have always been a Taffeta White lover...

I prefer white but I chose blue.
I'm told the factories are making the blues a little later in the production runs.
The first blue to hit Calgary will be next week and mine will be coming in shortly after

im getting a blue sport MT. I put a deposit on a silver one in the end of january but called another dealer this week to hold one (in case the other dealership tried to f*** me over) and they had a blue sport MT. When i called this same dealership back in Jan the guy told me they were'nt getting any MT. I guess if he turns out to be wrong this time, ill be getting the silver. My first choice, however, would be white, but i havent talked to any dealers getting a white of any kind.

There's a blue sport 5spd in Augusta Maine.

It might not be there tomorrow.

I like the blue. It's pretty sweet looking. IMHO.

dewalt, thanks for the heads up. a manual sport is most important. Id be happy with silver, blue, white, or black. i kind of like that the limited quantity of Fits available takes the color decision out of my hands, unless the only available sport manuals were orange or red -- definately not my style.

I know, right? It's so frustrating!

As for blue... Sierra Honda in Monrovia had 2 blue Sports as of 1pm today (I don't know what transmission though).

Blue will be popular in the long run, Americans love that color.

White will be especially popular at launch because so many Honda-heads like white cars for the percieved JDM-ness of it.
