It is frustrating to keep reading comparison articles, with the Fit always coming out ahead of the pack, and then read on the Forum about how difficult it is for people to find the Fit. I wanted to check out the Nissan Versa, but needed a car right away. I didn't know at the time how lucky I was that I had to buy the Fit even before it hit the showrooms. Even at MSRP I feel I got a bargain. The big SUVs are popular with manufacturers because they bring in a bigger profit margin. Is this the bottom line for Honda? Or is it just that the Civic is such a huge seller that Honda won't or can't respond to the demand for the Fit?

well the other annoyance is that dealers are adding so much on top of the msrp that one might as well buy a subaru impreza wagon! i keep reading about the $20k fits and LOL!

imo honda has really screwed the pooch on the fit. they are way undersupplying the fit, which i guess explains why they arent advertising it.

and i have yet to see a single fit on the streets of seattle. :rolleyes:
