They'd do better to offer a range of types: a 2-seat sports car, a minivan, a small pickup, maybe a bigger sedan aimed at the taxicab market...
They are going by what the general public wants. You or anybody else on here wants a car that doesn't spend any gas, charges by itself via solar panels and has a long distance range. They can't please everyone but they try to please as many as possible. I in fact like the 3rd gen prius and love the new styling of the car. If I was in the market for buyinga car I'd buy this one or the new honda insight.
