The wheels/tires are too small for the size of the body, the front end is too stubby, and it just doesn't have an attractive stance.

And it doesn't help it's case that they borrowed the front end from the Odyssey!


I think the back end looks too much like an accent. It just doesn't look like the fit. However looks never sold the fit, the interior and driving dynamics did. It's just amazing how much stuff you can fit in one.

They look like hybrids, they look obviously aerodynamic. People have just come to associate the 2. Yes we have seen that cars can acheive the same levels without looking that way but what cost was that in R&D, the best one I can think of is the mercedes cla and without a hybrid system it is still way more expensive than both the insight and prius.
