I have quite a few friends who cannot stand the look of the Prius. We think dolphins and birds are pretty, why not a car shaped like them? I agree that the tie between image/status and cars is not entirely the fault of automakers. Can American consumers fully adopt a priority for fuel efficiency without decoupling the emotion from transportation? Or is our (ecomodders) utilitarian view of cars a minority perspective?
