The best part is that the latest gen of the vehicle in the article, Honda Fit, is not even sold in North America. Due to lack of demand, presumably[0].
Guess this means I'm driving my 2nd gen 2010 Fit until the country runs out of replacement parts, because there isn't a subcompact out there with a comparable cargo space configuration.
And in the Bay Area, each time I'm driving somewhere I see a Fit or two - which people aren't selling, looking at Craigslist. Older Fits with 2x mileage sell for 2x what I got mine for ($4500 in 2017).
I contacted Honda at their email customer service[1] line, and got this response:
>Thank you for contacting American Honda regarding your sales experience . We want to thank you for providing us the opportunity to respond to your message. On behalf of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., we apologize for the circumstances which prompted you to contact us. American Honda documents and uses feedback in developing training for dealership management. We want to ensure that all customers have a smooth and stress-free sales experience. As such, we have documented a formal dealership complaint on your behalf.
As generic as this is, some extra nagging from all the Fitniks out there certainly wouldn't hurt. Though most likely, they won't care unless it's a Tweet[3].

- sjcoles 5y agoMy dealer is offering me 5k over what I bought my '19 Fit EX for and that's with a pending 1.8k repair (infotainment screen is broken). Anything with adaptive cruise and lane keep has had its price sky rocket. I'm not selling as the only thing comparable size wise would be a Focus or Fiesta but those are in crazy demand too due to being discontinued. It sucks for long car rides (stiff as hell suspension) but it's so much fun to drive.
