Hybrids...WHY???
Why do almost all 50+MPG Hybrids look like this???
2009 Toyota Prius 2010 Honda Insight 2011 Chevrolet Volt Am I missing something? Why? These are soo ugly! I am not opposed to driving hybrid, or electric if they are like a Tesla, because we already know that electric=fast. Did the New World Order, or the Tri-lateral commission have a meeting with an agreement that all hybrids will look like this? What gives? |

Well unfortunately those appear to be concepts.
And thats the problem, a lot of the concepts look really cool, or if anything way different. Unfortunately they never come into production, like the others. On a side note, I have a feeling, I will see a lot more Prius's and Insights, compared to hybrid Ferraris...just a hunch. Heres the old Toyota FTHS Hybrid that was once talked about replacing the Supra. 400HP Hybrid |

OK! So how about the Chevy Volt and the Cadillac Converj? Both look pretty sweet.

Cadillac Converj is still in concept form, but they would love to be able to use the Volt powerplant to recoupe their money. As for the Volt, word is it willbe soexpensive that the average person will not be able to afford one, and that GM is only going to make a very limited run of them. They were saying, "Expect celebs to be driving these, not teachers, and state workers."

This is why I despise GM. It doesn't NEED to be expensive. They did a LOT of research on crap they didn't need to research for that car. They wasted their money on some stupid stuff. In the end, they have a Toyota Prius power train and Lithium batteries! That was just dumb.

I would take an EV-1 in heartbeat... If they weren't all crushed that is.

I know all about them... And actually there are a few that weren't destroyed... Although they were all permanently disabled at the AC control box.
I'd love an EV1 also. GM donated 1 to a school in Boston, but again, it was disabled. It's obvious they didn't want anyone knowing how awesome those cars were. I'm surprised they didn't start killing people that leased them. GM is so backwards.
