I like these more than I should :o)

The only modern rear engine RWD 4-door. I want one.

Wait, they still made those things? I've seen one. Ever.

The Twingo would like to have a word with you.

we didn’t get the Twingo over here, so it doesn’t count :p

The only that was available in the US you mean.

I’ve seen exactly one of these. On the highway! Apparently they are fast enough for that.

(probably because it would outsell the Nissan Leaf )

Same. Just one.

Hmmm...

...NOPE!

Since it’s electric, wouldn’t the  RWD Model 3 and Model S also qualify, then?

Wikipedia seems pretty sure that production ended in 2014 or so, with sales continuing until 2020 in 4 markets: Norway, Hungary, Croatia, Switzerland.

Could be that stock finally ran out.

Apparently Australia got just 252 of these total, I’ve seen at least one.

I could not believe these were still in production. I would have bet money that it ended like 7 years ago

True, but the side impact test got me worried.

And I can't imagine buying one after like 2012.

Is it wrong that I’d like to own one... only to chop the back, and turn it into a tiny truck? Also, I’d do something about that ugly bulbous back bumper.

Although I keep saying I’d like to do that with almost every EV...

Its good enough, you’d survive that

I thought I saw one of these once, but it was just a golf cart.

In actuality though, I have seen a few around, and I’m genuinely surprised they still sold them up til now.

The i3 would like a word with you, too.

That one’s in the back, too? LOL

Also, those suicide doors require the front doors to be opened, like the RX8 and those extended cab trucks.

The iMiev has 4 real doors

All true.

Though the i3, with its carbon chassis, doesn’t have a b-pillar between the doors, which is great when you have a 4-7 year old that you drive to school every day (or... used to, anyway).
