Would the CT 200H sell more if they made a petro only version?

Whenever I look at these cars in public, I can't help but to think of those popular 90s hatchback Civics. I always wanted them to sell these cars as gasoline only version. I would buy one by now.

Thoughts?

There was some speculation about CT with 2 litre turbo engine, but maybe it was just a rumour, not a serious option for TMC. CT with +150 kW engine would have been very interesting to drive

I think the best thing they could have ever done to this car (one of my few grips) is put about 2-3 more inches of headroom. I am a short guy and if I have glasses, on the top of my head, I am always knowing them off. I am hitting my head going in the car all the time, and I am only 5'6". I think there are a lot of people that probably pass on the car because of the super short headroom. the seat does not adjust for it well either. I have had a Prius before, completely different design of course, but there is plenty of headroom. I think they really missed the ball on that one. Just a few inches, it might have affected gas a little, and the profile a little, but it would have made the car way more usable for a greater audience. Anyways, I love love my CT200H.

im 5’11” and I’ve never hit my head on anything, I’d suggest maybe adjusting your seat down if you have the adjustment up that might be the problem. Hope this helps
