Then there's marketing. I mean styling. I mean aerodynamics.
Because hybrids tend to be marketed as efficient, stylists have to make the cars look it, so we get the "hybrid look." The marketing folks won't let other cars be aerodynamic because that'll dilute the "I'm Efficient" look that they've assigned to hybrids.
