Blackberry pearl?

So my husband and I love our new 2010 black fit sport so much that we are thinking of buying a second -- when I start my new job in September, we're going to need a second car.

I want a 2010 fit sport in blackberry pearl, but I was just looking on my honda dealer's website and blackberry pearl isn't listed as one of the available colors on the sport. Help! Did they discontinue the color??

Maybe they didn't have one in stock? I know 2010 fits come in BBP, my friend just test drove a a/t fit sport in that color on friday. Very pretty color too.

Weird. I was looking under the "build it" section and when I got to the colors there was no option for blackberry pearl. Good to know they're still making it though. Thanks!

Thats very weird. Hope you can find it though. I am on the hunt for a TW white and the booklet they gave me on the car only has that color in sport, so hopefully one turns up for you. love the color!

I've heard that BBP Fits spontaneously combust.

charmedimsure, where are you located? Does T.O. mean Toronto, Ontario?

If so, then you are correct - the Canadian Honda site doesn't show BBP as a color for the FIT anymore...maybe it's been discontinued for Canada only? Very weird, but it could be possible..

Maybe it's a sign that you need to get Blue Sensation Pearl - it's an awesome color, and a lot easier to keep clean than BBP or CBP!

Good luck whatever color you decide!

Come to Colorado--my dealer had one sitting on the lot- just saw it today. Perhaps you can buy one in the US and drive it to Toronto.

I've seen the Droid listed as lowas $149, or even $199 for a two-for-the-price-of-one deal.
The Blackberry Pearl though... yeah... It's even crummier than the Curve!

Meh. I was afraid of that. My second choice is the Tidewater Blue so I guess that's what I'll be getting.

I'm not a fan of standard blue tones, unless there is anything similar to Toyota's Blue Streak Metallic (which I have seen on many a Yaris and LOVED - loved enough that I actually considered buying one until I fell in love with the Honda Fit...) I took a look in the picture section and I don't like the Blue Sensation Pearl, it seems too plain blue to me.

I told my husband that if we couldn't get Blackberry Pearl then I might just get a black one like the one we're sharing now. He said we cannot have matching cars because it's too weird. ha. Tidewater Blue it is, I suppose.

Since you are in Toronto-is it possible to buy the Fit in Michigan? or would taxes be too high?
My Tidewater Blue Fit is kind of similar in color to a friend's Cosmic Blue Toyota Matrix.

^ I mean, I could, but I think it would just be a massive pain in the ass with taxes and registration etc. I would like the BBP, but not bad enough to deal with all that. If I see the Blue Sensation Pearl close up and it doesn't make me retch, I'll consider it. If not, I'll go with the Tidewater Blue

I was leaning toward the Blue Sensation at first, but then there are so many other other models of cars & trucks with almost the same shade of blue color, Chevy, PT Cruiser, etc. Tidewater is pretty unique & appears to be different colors depending on the light. Blackberry Pearl also changes with the light. If the Red were metallic--I would have also liked that.

Apparently, Honda doesn't sell BBP in Canada. You can see a list of colors here:

Build Your Honda

That's too bad. I love the BBP color.
