My Fit NOT arriving
 

Bad news from the dealer. It's been a month since ordering and he says
to try another color (I wanted the orange). I think that it's bait and
switch. I don't think that they sell Fits at MSRP. I could try the
Storm Silver Metallic which looks pretty good.

I have to make a decision pretty quickly since I'm going to need to
put money into my 91 Accord soon. I must change the timing belt (I'm
now at 94,000) and it needs so much other stuff. I'd do it if the rust
around the wheel wells wasn't so bad, but it is bad.

Why?

Do you even know what "bait and switch" is? Or are you just another
ignoramus who's not getting what he wants in the world, and has to have
someone to blame something horrific on?

It seems like Honda sometimes tells dealers what they will get rather
than dealers or customers getting to order what they want. A strange
way to do business, but with a sold-out hit like the Fit I guess they
can get away with it.

Wow, you're a pretty nasty guy. I'm glad that I don't actually have to
deal with you in real life.

I guess that's it. The dealer is right on my bike commute home so
I'll drop in this afternoon and see what can be done. I suspect that
I'm going to just keep my 91 running another year or two.

What do you suppose your colleagues think when you say things like "I
don't like it--therefore it must be bait and switch!"

So just go about your life, spouting crap like that without knowing what
you're talking about.
