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.
