I can believe it, because I think the aesthetic association is with "uncool" cars that our parents drove (land yachts). From a proportion POV, I don't like the "big wash" of metal that a wheel skirt creates towards the back of the car (it's hard to explain).
However, it would be even more cool if they offered an "extreme-aero" kit as an option. The car could have all the "holes in place" and ready to go. That way, you wouldn't have to go to the aftermarket :
$375 
They could corner the "prius chat" niche market in one fell swoop.
