It's no where near as horrible looking as some say. Not as sharp looking as a new Fit or Prius, but not so ugly you'd be embarrassed to drive it.

As for the CVT only deal, I suspect this has to do with aggressive use of stop start as it is not compatible with "normal" stick drivers. We hypermiling EOCing freaks are unfortunately a rare breed.

It would be nice to see someone market a vehicle for us. If I could pick one it would be a 6 speed 3 cylinder 1L Fit with manual steering/brakes and a shifter mounted ignition CO switch.
