I've sat in one of those, was very comfortable for me, liked it better than hybrid Accord. Never got chance to drive one, was on top of my list to try out but never found one for sale within 5 hours distance. But we were shopping for me last year and with Covid etc car shopping was just nuts, had to settle for about my 5th/6th model choice instead of any of my top 3 or so.
I'm pretty sure it was just sales numbers, I think Honda lost out to Toyota for mostly fickle typical customer perceptions as the brand for hybrids.
BTW for anyone not aware a truly exceptional resource for deep dive on hybrids and EV WeberAuto youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/WeberAuto/videos
