#308, CVT, Blue.

It arrived at the dealer last Wednesday, picked it up last night. Between the time they got it and I got it, they had about 6 people try to buy it!!!!! It is gonna take some time getting used to, but the whole 22 miles I drove it last night were fun. Thank you everyone for all your help over the past several months between deciding on it and then the process of actually getting it. The blue is so beautiful, I am really happy with it. Whoohoo! I am official now.

I hope the photo is not too big

Congrats! I was amazed by how nice the blue looks in real life. Picked mine up two days ago, #314

hey, they must have come over on the same boat They're siblings. Are you on the East coast? Seems like a big allotment hit the area- every dealer I had called in the past 6 months called me saying they had one in stock, but I had already commited to my dealer 6 months ago with a deposit.

Congratulations on your purchase! You guys over the pond are lucky to still be able to buy new - Honda have taken them off the market virtually everywhere else

Yep, I'm in CT and bought the car in VT.

I was really, really lucky to find a dealer that had an order and no buyer (yet) so did not have to wait more than a couple days for my new car. Although according to the dealer he had a lot of phone calls on the car, I was just lucky (or impulsive) enough to be the first to make a deposit.

I feel kind of bad that others waited for months and I got mine in 3 days

I feel bad (or sort of guilty) too .. mine sat unclaimed at the dealership for 2 months while I thought about buying an Insight. Oh well, it has a nice home now.

Congrats Merigayle .. hope you enjoy your new car.
