not that i know of...several have discussed getting one but they fly off the dealer lots (i went by my local dealer and they have none...they get sold the same day or are sold even before they arrive)

i'm looking in late summer / early fall to get one or i might wait for the civic si sedan concept to become a reality

Have the dealers started their outrageous markups yet?

outrageous markups = supply and demand. don't like the price, don't buy the car. you are only "ripped off" if you are fooled, tricked, scammed, or otherwise decieved into paying too much. the sticker is plain as day.

anyway, congrats to anyone who has one already, they are really amazing cars! i've driven several and i'm always amazed at how well put together they are for the price. it's definitely a honda through and through.

2gr84u - looks like you're a strictly honda family, aren't u? that's more common than you might think. congrats to your sis.

Its not a question of being "ripped off". It's about reasonable people not being able to get the car they want for a good price because there are people out there willing to pay $20k or more for a $15k car.

If the dealers can sell a Fit for $20k, more power to them. But don't expect those people who don't think the car is worth that much to be happy about it.

you're right bane, and i completely agree. we are selling the fit for sticker for exactly that reason. the whole point of this car is that it's an entry-level honda, so why mess with that? besides, even at full sticker price, the dealer makes $800 profit. literally. i checked. the si, on the other hand, we're marking up because we see SO few of them. and it really sucks, i'd much rather get more cars and sell them for sticker, be able to put more of them on the road. oh well, it's beyond my control.
