Have you noticed that all the Hybrids cars have something in common? They all are horrible and pathetic, besides boring. It seems that car manufacturers spend all their budget on scientists and engineers who create this technology and invest very little on designers. There's no such thing as cheap and cheerful. It's cheap and nasty or expensive and cheerful. NYC Style!

I wouldn't feel safe handling that car, but well, it the point is to save some money on gas, it is perfect, to playing golf would be perfect too "You car say too much about you, so be careful what car are you driving" - The Hottest Car Girl
