I don't think the new 2008 model is coming straight to the US -- I think it comes to foreign markets first. Replacing the 2007 fit with something drastically different while it is selling well and getting rave reviews could kill its momentum. I think the only two things affecting September price will be the amount of fits available then and the competition with any other cars introduced between now and then that compete..
 
One thing you might do is look outside CA. Seems like you folks in California are paying higher prices than elsewhere.

Got my new FIT yesterday. sticker price was $15.2 and added extras (splash guard for example) and destination charges or some such stuff took it up to $16.2. I got it for minus the add on sticker, and the $15.2 only. Could have driven about an hour for a sport for about $1,000 more, but I was pretty much OVER car shopping.
 
Sorry I'm editing to add a few things....
 
My total out the door with taxes, titles, etc was $16.6. This was a silver AT.

Can I ask if you are in So Cal? How long did it take you shopping? I am wondering if I want to get a car in Sept with decent price, when should I start getting quote from the dealers? But if the demand is still higher than supply, I highly doubt my luck of getting one in a week.

I'm planning to buy in June or July and I hope there will be Honda Fit Auto Sports still in stock. I have been hearing that more people want a MT than an AT. I'm hoping this is true.

Blue Sport 5 Speed
 
Called 15 dealerships in Northern NJ until I found what I wanted. 5 Speed Sport in Black, Blue or Silver.
 
Drove down with the wife and kids. PAID MSRP with no extras, factory mats thrown in for free. Market analysis was done thru CR, no wiggle room on this car. More than happy to pay MSRP and get the 5 speed!
 
Coming off a VW GTI. The FIT beats the GTI in every aspect except acceleration. 80 mph feels like 40

I finally bit the bullet. ordered one for 500 more than MSRP.
The fits here in oregon are quite low in supply. that 500 more MSRP is offset by the savings if it had tax. There is no sales tax here so whoopiee for me!
I ordered the NighthawkBlack Sport AT. I would have chosen the MT but my wife would want to drive it too. I wont complain since I love the idea of having shift paddles (in fact this is one of the feature that sold me)
 
thanks all for your input!
Total out the door price: $17,065 + $218 DMV/Plate/Doc fees, standard 4-year Oregon registration
 
45 days of waiting seems too long

Thoughts on this offered drive-away price breakdown in Atlanta? by mintjulep

I am a first-time car buyer, and this is what an internet sales dealer in the Atlanta metro area has offered me for a new 2007 Honda Fit Sport MT. I believe it is at MSRP, but that processing fee, wow! Is that normal, at least for the area? Is this a good breakdown of the total price? What kind of wiggle room or bargaining power do I have?
  
$ 15,765.00 Internet Price (INC DESTINATION)
$ 498.00 Processing Fee
$ 1138.41 Sales Tax at 7%
$ 19.00 Title
$ 3.00 GA MVWR

What IS a processing fee? Is that a documentation fee? Ask the dealership what is in this processing fee (what are they PROCESSING, anyway?). Make them justify it. I hope it's not a disguised markup.

mintjulep, I bought my Sport MT in March, at Team Honda, and their processing fee was $600! They call it a "doc fee", short for "documentation fee". I thought it was outrageous, but I wanted the car, so I paid it. Sounds like a good deal to me - get them to throw in some free floor mats!
 
Which dealer are you dealing with, if you don't mind my asking...?

Sorry, I forgot to mention, I'm in Atlanta metro too - so that was Team Honda in Lithia Springs where I bought mine.
 
Processing fees/doc fees are pretty standard in this area, I think, maybe all over the country - they just vary in expense, anywhere from $35 up to the ridiculous $599 I paid!
