Wow, Shortage on Honda Civic's and Fit's

Well, almost everybody knows that there is a shortage on all things Hybrid, but now there is a shortage on all things Honda Civic and Honda Fit! As a dealership (moderate size for Canada) we usually have an incoming list 8 or 9 pages long, now it is only 3 1/2 pages. I personally have never experienced a shortage like this. Heaven forbid anyone be colour specific right now! Manual Transmissions are next to non existant, part in parcel to the ECO rebate and Automatic Transmissions are becoming a rare breed as well!

2009 Stock is not expected to arrive until September or October and I don't think we will have enough stock to last! Part of this is due to the US gobbling up as many Civic's as possible and the other half has to do with the current gas prices - everybody is trading in their SUV's, Trucks, and large sedan's. This is crazy.
