Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 22, 2009 10:11 am) I didn't say (three months ago) that the dealer was "struggling" to sell Fits. I just thought it was interesting that there was this big waiting list, they had a no-haggle policy of MSRP for the 2009 Fit (at least they weren't marking them up as some dealers were doing back then), yet the Fit I had waited in line for but decided to pass on had no one behind me ready to snap it up. Recall this was when the 2009 Fit had just come out. Maybe someone would have snapped it up if the dealer had demonstrated they were more interested in selling the car by offering some kind of discount on it. I'm sure someone has driven it home by now, though. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jan 22, 2009 7:33 pm)

While you didn't "say" that the dealer was struggling to sell Fits, it sure seemed to imply something like that when you mention the dealer and the word "pleading" in the same sentence.
#92 of 92 Why not license the technology to GM, Ford, Chrysler..?? by Bigdaddy4444 Jan 25, 2009 (10:36 am)
Toyota has figured out the winning combination... in the Prius. Meanwhile GM, Ford, Chrysler... they're talking about totally battery powered cars in 2 years... Totally Battery powered with a range of 100 miles for 40,000.00 ... and yet we're giving them all money in a bailout...?? I wouldn't buy one of those...for 20,000.00 when compared to the Prius that offers the engine to recharge the batteries... why not go to Toyota and Licence their drivetrain and build Skylarks and Camaros etc on the Toyota Prius drivetrain? I don't get it? A totally batttery powered car is unacceptable... you constantly run the risk of being stranded at the 100 mile mark... dumb....
