Yes. Actually they did. The window sticker said it was an 'S' model. I have had 2 of them. This is the only one I have pics of. No options at all. Steel wheels.

It was a nice car, the gauge cluster was very cool and the stereo was awesome. It was slow and didn't get very good gas mileage all things considered, and that was the main reason I didn't keep it. (and by all things considered I mean for being as slow as it was and being a hybrid I feel like I should have gotten better than 27ish mpg, but it was still a fun little car)
