Yup...folow her in there as well....thanks Levinson Durbin

you were saying that your vibe - s will only be available in March and you are located in GC...have you checked with your dealership..on the exact date yet? who knows that your vibe -s might have been shipped by now..or may be its in the Mercury Ace....just give it a try...

because i receive all my Enginee details, even the Ignition key number..im pretty sure they can give you that if they say you will receive the vibe - s in March

I called Honda Australia, they too have no further information to add regarding shipment or release. They didn't even know that it should be coming around March. Seems there is no oversight with the information and there may exist multiple channels of information which for a major company is a bit disturbing in relation to ISO standards for documention and information etc.

... I do hate the Honda website, makes me want to go work for them; damn their robotics teasing *shakes fist*

How long does it usually take between arrival at port and ready to drive away?

Ordered my Vibe S this arvo. Ordered in white so missed the first shipment, have to wait until the next shipment in April.

Probably a week, the way I measure it...with the first shipment (mercury ace vessel)..currently in brisbane..leaving to Port Kembla NSW tonight...and will reach Port Kembla ..at 9am 19 Feb (this sunday)...and my ETA from my dealer in sydney is Monday 27 Feb..they said it could be 1 or 2 days EARLIER..or LATER..they are not sure still...

btw just got my leather seat trim car seat and HID Nexon for my jazz... just need to fit them when it comes...

April? ..will that be the last shipment from Japan? heard that the Thai plant will be fully operational in Apr...

Ya, the first shipment is all presold by now evidently so it'll be on the next and last.

Yeah..same with me, last time, i tried to call them and they forwarded me back to my dealer .. ....i really hope that your vibe -s has already been built..and shipped to aus asap

My dealer gave me a ring yesterday to confirm my Vibe is in the country, gave me the VIN and Engine number and told me if all goes well it should be available for me to pick up at the end of next week.

I've got to admit, I hope I like Azure blue! I picked it because it was one of the last available colours in the first shipment, I'm sure it'll grow on me.
