A friend of mine has one and seems to like it a lot.

It seems to be the forgotten PHEV based on the fact I've only seen one on the road.

Almost bought one instead of the golf but put a hard cap at 30k after taxes for my purchase.

This would have been 35 or something. Kinda kicking myself because of the disappearance of the Ontario rebate.

It was a nice car though. Only slightly too noisy on the highway. Very wide but most cars feel too big for me these days.

Like its not a horrible looking car from the front, but the back, it looks like they wanted a normal sedan but then someone became a fan of Kim Kardashian and tacked on some extra booty....just, no.

Honda website says it's sold out. Huh. Good for them.

I don't mind the look. The weren't any deals on them when I priced one. I just didn't want to spend that much.

I don't think they brought many in.  My friend was looking for the base model and had a really hard time sourcing one.  Another issue was that his closest dealer (Thunder Bay) wasn't "certified" by Honda to sell them.  He ended going to Calgary or Edmonton if I recall.  He was looking as far east as Quebec.
