I think I’ve see one of those, once, quite a while ago. That’s weird timing.

I think they sold about 12 of those. It’s a good looking compact sedan that had virtually no market...

That is pretty oddball.
They’re also slow. Ridiculously slow. Only slightly quicker than the CT 200h.
That said, I want to drive the latter, hoping the electric helps it not be a total dog. The wife and I are planning to carpool and we need a new ride that is super comfortable and doesn’t chug fuel.

You don’t need speed if you live south of Marysville. Not whilst sitting in traffic in any direction.

We get more open road than you might expect, at least at the right times of day. Bellevue is a 70+ zone based on the cars on the road passing me like I’m standing still when I have the cruise control set to 60 on the freeway.
However, in traffic, it is handy to have good 0-30 or so acceleration and to be able to pass on the highway. I need an everything car that is big enough to pick up some stuff, gets good fuel economy, is small enough to park, good for a highway trip (Chelan, Bellingham, Vancouver BC, etc) and is ridiculously comfortable. The Kia Soul checks almost all the boxes, but it’s not comfortable enough.
