With the introduction of the 2015 Honda Fit, the era of the Chinese car is coming to an end in North America. According to Honda Canada, all 2015 Honda Fits for both the United States and Canada will be sourced from Honda’s new plant in Mexico. That means an end to the importation of the Fit from Honda’s plant in China. Who knows what the next one will be for Canada (and the first one for the United States). Any guesses?

My Canadian '10 Fit was built in Japan. Quite a few differences from the US Fit's though. With them both back in the same building, any bets as to how much equipment/options they'll remove for the Canadian versions?
One question: What's the first digit of the VIN for a Chinese vehicle? Canadians are stupid and don't post the VINs of vehicles, which deceives people. Why don't they, but every dealer in America does? I asked this on ask.com and never got an answer. You all are car guys. Please answer.
@ Atum I'd be one of those "stupid" Canadians. Why don't you just "google" your question...just sayin.
I was going to say Qoros. Got five stars in the EuroNCAP crash tests. Unbelievable.
