Let us know how it goes, Bob. Got a color picked out?
I read that Honda went with 5AT instead of CVT so that it could be equipped with paddle shifters. I can't buy one until 12/2007 when the payments are up on my HCH. But I've already got the whole config picked out: Milano red, 5MT, sport edition, with sport grille. It'll be great!

My partner wants a Prius, so we'll still have a hybrid in the family.

By 2008, maybe Honda will decide to make the Fit as a hybrid (since the Insight propulsion system would fit nicely into a Fit).

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
