"We just sold our Expedition so we also have an open spot in the garage..."
Expedition? You could "fit" 2 or 3 new Fit's in there now!

The same model and color? Won't that be a little confusing? Might need to get some of those vanity plates: "HIS FIT" and "HER FIT" (or maybe "MS FIT".

Luckily, I already have vanity plates (PRFCT FT), and she already has plates reserved (AZULITO), so that will help. My tint has a more mirrored effect to it than hers will, so I'm hoping a quick glance will allow us to discern between the two.

Congrats!
I picked up my Fit Sport AT also in vivid blue (I love the colour)yesterday. Can't stop driving it...absolutely love it! Was driving home from work today and looked in my rear view window and had to do a double take as I saw another Fit in the same blue.
These cars are going to be everywhere!

Maybe one of yours can be the Fit, and the other can be the Jazz?

Could you post what dealer and price paid over in that other thread, because I'm curious. I'm also in AZ.

I ordered it from Chapman in Tucson - it was actually one that was inbound but not yet spoken for.
I'm paying MSRP, $16520, plus $500 for window tint, rear bumper applique, cargo tray, wheel locks, and all season floor mats. I'd like to negotiate with them but hey, we all know that's not possible at this point. 
I should pick it up any day now!

dewaltdakota...
mind my asking who your dealer is? I couldn't get Pearson to cooperate on the base without a ton of add-ons, so wound up going to Mechanicsville tho' it was 40 miles outta my way. They were wonderful to deal with.

I'm dealing with Pearson, but I was the first in their door back in January, when only the new car manager knew what the Fit was. I was able to lock them in at MSRP, with no extras added. Once they saw what the demand was going to be, they stopped taking deposits, and began to force add-ons to all new cars.
I spent so much time at the dealership between January 20th and when I picked up my car on April 30th, they kinda have a soft spot (or is that a bruise?) for me.
I'm glad you were able to work with the Mechanicsville dealership. Even though we have a "shoe in" at Pearson, we're looking for a backup dealership, just in case something weird comes up with them.

They bug me. I first called them in December, week after Xmas!! I work in the Boulders right down the street and had bought my previous car there. They kept saying they'd call me when the darn thing got in and in the meantime delivered brochure after brochure to me at my office. First it was March, then March turned to April (they saw it at the Autoshow), then April turned into May. I visited the dealership nearly 10 times, but wasn't willing to pre-buy it without having at least sat in it. Their first one was pre-sold to you, I presume. Next they pre-sold a silver base...called me in time to come down and take a look at it before the 70 yr. old woman who bought it (salesman told me she paid cash) took delivery. I was NOT allowed to drive it as it was pre-sold. Then came the white sport that they use as a demo. I was allowed to drive it, but NOT allowed to buy it. By late May I was told a Lunar Mist base was on it's way to arrive June 25, but I couldn't pre-buy it...as they would be putting on all the extras. By this time I was pretty sure the Fit was what I wanted so I called all dealerships in VA to see who would pre-sell me one. I called Pearson back and told them Mechanicsville (and Pohanka in Fredericksburg) were both taking deposits and selling at sticker. Plus Mechanicsville had pre-sold the next 8 cars they had coming in up until October. Pearson salesman told me to go and get myself one...b/c they weren't going to do that. I was miffed, to say the least. I seriously have to wonder who's making more money here. The guys willing to pre-sell 8 or 9 cars, or the guys adding on and marking up one FIT at a time.
