Not too much of a surprise here, as Honda's sales
here in the USA have risen nearly 30% thanks mainly to the all-new Civic and Fit. Oh, the high price of gas also helped just a little... Snippet: With U.S. gas prices hovering at around $3 a gallon, Americans were snatching up Honda's small car models like the Civic and Fit, boosting Honda's North American sales by nearly 9 percent to 456,000 vehicles for the quarter from the same period a year earlier...

Fit remains in very high demand. A friend could not even locate a manual tranny car to test drive...

I have tried for about two to three months just to get a look at a FIT> Nowhere in South Georgia Or North Florida can I find one.

What seems odd is that the Fit is a 6 year old design and is still the best overall in its class. So I can only imagine what the next Fit will be like. The current Fit reminds me of early 90's Civics, light, tossable, fun to drive, but refined and good road feel.
I went to my local Honda dealer about 2 weeks ago to pick up some oil filters and there were people buying Civics and Fits off of the truck. There were no Civics or Fit on the lot at all!
Honda sure did hit a homerun on these 2 and there is still the yet to come Civic Si sedan of which I already have a deposit on. The only issues I have with the Civic is the lack of availability of Keyless Start, Bluetooth, heated/leather option on EX's, and no HID's on the Si.
