Would you drive a hybrid if they weren't so hideous?

speedoflife · 08-19-2009, 03:24 AM

For a daily driver/commuter obviously, would you be more willing to drive a hybrid or electric car if they weren't so butt-ugly? It seems as though whoever is in charge of the design of many hybrid vehicles was neglected as a child or on the low end of the designer spectrum. I think about a Prius or something like that sometimes because of the practicality, but then I look at it and my mind is immediately changed.

I wouldn't mind driving those hybrid versions of regular cars for better mileage.
