I would like to inform a somewhat misinformed hyper-salesman what the worldwide Honda production of FIT/Jazz is and where the mfg sites are located.

He is doing the: "production-is-limited, Honda-won't-increase-FIT-production-for-several-YEARS, and I-am-selling-every-FIT-I-can-get" dance.

Can anyone help me out?

Many thanks to the great contributors on these forums!

japan ,china thailand and sa I believe. The problem is they are mostly sold before they hit the lot now. Had one on order,found a small dealer with what we wanted on the lot and said the heck with it. Honda doe allocations not orders. Read the other threads.

 

The USDM ones are only being built in Japan, and they are selling as fast as they're getting them...

 

yea thats why I dont have mine yet

 

Most of all of them I beleive are built in Japan.

 

Just received a phone call from my dealer. I will have my Fit first week of June. I asked for the VIN numbers and he said. JHMBR55800S89334. Than I went on the Net and Searched on “How to read a Vin” Found out my Fit is made in Japan. Woohoo.
