So, Thursday of last week, I went to work and saw one of these in the parking lot at work:

Wikipedia tells me it's a Canadian 323 Neo GS model, so it's not outside of the realm of reason that I'd see one in Virginia, but it had Virginia plates on it, so I guess it registered here.

Kind of cool to see it, though this particular one had an ugly-ass wing on it!
 
even more rare... the one in the pic is the LS model which had the BP engine, 4 wheel disc brakes, and a larger front sway bar
 
They didn't sell that model in the states? I know they weren't big sellers in Canada as the previous 323 was sold at the same time, at least for one year, and the older version greatly outsold it.

Side note, a friend of mine drove one of those for about 3 years.
