Fit Sales up 106%!!! BOOYA!!!

 

Wow, the Fit is really picked up some steam from last year. Only selling 200 cars less than the Versa and 100 less than the Yaris, the Fit keeps getting closer and closer to overtake the number one spot as the most sold subcompact car in a month. Great news for Honda.........I wonder if this is when Honda is limiting allocations of Fits to North America? Bleh, trying not to get too geeked out with numbers.

For my selfish needs this isn't good news.....what if Honda sees no reason to bring out the new Fit becuase of the strong sales of the current Fit?

 

Dont worry the new Fit IS coming to American in less then a year from now. That has been confirmed according to a few trusty websites. When the new Fit comes its going to sell like crazy. Its going to be everywhere and sales numbers for Honda are going to go through the roof. The first gen Fit will be rare when the 09 hits them market.
Thats my eductaed guess. Id be willing to bet on my prediction though!

 

Nah, they wouldn't continue to make the same last gen car while making the current gen for any long length of time.. not simultaneously anyway. They could pull smoke and mirror tricks out of their hat if they wanted, ie: Our honda Accord vs. Europes Accord (which was really our Acura TSX).

The current gen Fit is "rare" anyway as far as production numbers, so for Honda to bring the (in Japan) MY08 fit to North America in 09 will make it a little bit more exclusive, but for a >$16K car, I'm not sure it's that big of a deal.. It might be for some collector of B-cars 25 to 30 years from now...

 

This is likely a fourm worth accompanying. You’ve got an amazing bargain to express regarding this subject, and so far information. I believe that you expertise to make individuals listen to what you need to declare, specifically with an issue this is so imperative. I am happy to see this fourm. Several vast thumbs up, man

I read this on Motor Trend last week and thought this was interesting since there seems to be such low inventory of Fits at US dealers.

 

Well Honda are still doing well in America, let's hope it continues. I would love the S2000 to make a return :P
