Honda’s Celaya plant out of action until mid-November

trying to order one
So I tried to get my dealer to order me a Honda Fit (because I want the HFP package and armrest option) and he said Honda won’t let him place and order this month for Fits due to the Factory flooding.
At this point I may have to settle for something different.

Sorry, it's the cynical old man in me talking. I see there is an ad for the 2019 Fit on the sidebar of this site. I think that's a bit of a "slap in the face" for Honda to finally be advertising a car that they can't actually deliver.

Flooding cost Honda US $442 million at its Celaya plant
Flooding cost the Japanese auto maker Honda US $422 million at its Celaya, Guanajuato, plant in June.
After the Laja River burst its banks it flooded the neighboring industrial park and neighborhoods, including the entire 400-hectare Honda assembly plant.
Production was suspended the same day.
The company announced yesterday that full operations won’t resume until November 17.
A part of the plant dedicated to the manufacture of transmission boxes has been operating at full capacity since July 9.
Honda México said none of its workers have lost work as a result of the flooding. Instead, they have been occupied with clean-up and repair work.
Besides transmission boxes, the Celaya plant also builds engines and the Honda Fit.

I'm in the market for a fit, but been worried about quality after the flooding. Sounds like some of you think it will be better after a refresh of the factory. I wonder if they are just slapping some paint over muddy walls and some lube on the muddy equipment and see how it goes... maybe I have no faith in quality of products anymore.

If you have the budget, a Honda Civic is an excellent car for the money.
