Sport Touring Hatchback RARE in your area?

[bembol]

I've seen 5 Hatchbacks today and 3 was Sport and the rest was lower trims.

I haven't seen any Sport Touring so just curious why, the other models I see a lot of Touring but the Hatchback is rare.

I guess people like Sport models in Canaidan market, we have more options than those folks in States get.

I haven't seen any Sport Tourings on the road either, other than my own. Saw a black one at the dealership when I picked mine up, and at trhe Canadian International Car Show. But that's it. A number of LX and Sport trims though.

Mine is a sonic grey, which is only available on the Sport Touring in Canada. So I get lots of stares and people complimenting and asking about the colour.

Hows sonic gray looks in person, I saw it on picture and it feels like kinda a matt finish.... We only get 2 colours for type r in Canadian market, Black or White....... I really like my blue one..

From a distance it looks matte grey, but you see the pearl in the paint when you are closer up. There some blue and green in the paint. It looks different in different lighting. It's a bluish grey in sunlight, and looks dark grey in really dim light.

It sounds like a very interesting and expensive paint... I never seen one of these myself in person.
Did you wait for that colour?

Sonic gray colour was the only sports touring CVT available in Edmonton area 2 weeks ago with very low mileage on it. There is 1 sports touring MT but it got over 120 km from people test driving it. the sonic gray colour feels more like a blue than grey from every angle.

Haven't seen any. Went to test drive one today at the dealership and they had they just had the sports on hand, so at least I saw the exterior in person. Seen a ton of ex's and exl navi's.

Just a couple of weeks for the vehicle to be transferred from another dealer. My dealership had a WOP Sport Touring to trade for it.

I also drive a SGP ST hatch in Edmonton, except in 6MT. This car rocks!

You seem to have beaten the shit out of it already.

Have the engine checked, the only thing that has been really abused is the brakes, which I have it replaced already.
