Maybe, maybe not.
As passenger car operators, we tend to associate the word hybrid with lightness.
But there are hybrid vehicles where lightness does not appear to be a major design
consideration:
That said, I think the Citron DS series meets the OP's stated basic parameters:
Quote:
1. Has to be cool.
2. Must be big enough to go across country comfortably with a family of 4.
3. Has to be inexpensive to purchase.
So far, the VW Bus or a Geo Metro is tops, but the VW Buses are too, well,
ordinary ( been done enough ) and the Metro is too small.
I am looking for different, yet something that would generate positive
attention as it went down the road.

However, there are considerations that might rule the DS out, such as
battery location.
