I am getting my Fit in two days.

The car is finally sitting in my dealer's parking lot, just have to get all the license and paper working done before I pick it up on Thurs.

I probably have the longest waiting time, put down my deposit 03/25/2006, pickup date 06/08/2006.

Just wondering if profit margin is the reason Honda scaled back on Fit production. I heard the reason so many gas guzzling SUVs were produced is that the manufacturers made more $$ on them. I'm shocked that people who bought shortly before the first Fit delivery date (April 20) still have a long wait. I purchased an AT Sport on March 27 and thought the 3 week wait was awful! I really feel for people who are waiting, especially if the car you have is in bad shape. Other threads on the Forum talk about people trading in relatively new cars (like the xB) on a new Fit. Come on, Honda, have a heart! Beef up production!

i don't know the production date but i do know that the car was across town last night. so either it was delivered last night to the dealer or it's being delivered today.

but with your info.. it sounds bout right... i think it normally takes bout a month. i put my deposit on 4/28

I put down my deposit on a Fit Sport on May first and took delivery on May 29th. The dealer asked for a $500 deposit. I ordered the car with no dealer options and that's how it was delivered.

yep, i hope you get urs soon so we could be buddies driving down the road.

After a very long anxious wait I was finally able to drive my car home yesterday and alot people were looking in the car.. even this morning on the way to work. I feel so violated cause they were staring so hard.

dumb question - Does VBP stand for Vivid Blue or is a mechanical thing?

I got a call from my salesperson last Thursday to tell me that they had two automatics in. We went to see them on Saturday and they were both sold! Luckily the dealer had orders in and has been fighting for cars, so they had a shipment of I think 5 cars coming in (2 blue, one silver, one red). It should be here in 3 weeks. So, I gave them a check to hold one of the blue ones! Nearly two weeks go go!!!
