No offense intended. As an old buddy used to say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if you be holding her, she be beautiful.

Either way, hybrid or high FE, cars. The Insight and Prius aren't hard on the eye, but necessarily pleasing, the Volt looks good, what were those Leaf designers on that day.

More choice, certainly. But I think we have widely differing ideas as to exactly what constitutes "cool".
Most definitely, but there lot's of general shapes and lines that naturally appeal to most peoples eye.


The biggest sin I see in modern car design, mostly sub compact, is the designers don't seem to have heard of the golden ratio.

Some people are very particular in what they drive looks like, others not as much and some drive it, and wash it once, twice a year whether it needs it or not.

What ever ones preference, a little pleasing design would probably help sales. If I had use for a eco car, I'd drive a Volt because it's a pleasing design.
