    Seriously, their designers must have been smoking some pretty odd stuff, I mean look at the back end of the Prius:

    Looks even worse when those Zorro-slash style lights are switched on.

    And then there is the Mirai:

    I sat behind one of these in traffic the other day, and it is even uglier in real life!

          It looked soooooo 'unhappy' when I was sat behind it the other day. Eco cars are not going to catch on as long as they are making them butt ugly!

            But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if it's on the road then someone loves it. After all I own a Juke, ugly to many but I like it's distinctive looks. :)

              It certainly needs to be shunted. Preferably by a car crusher!

                  Why is it not possible to make a hybrid version, or electric only, of petrol and diesel cars that are already on the road.
                  Why must they have a design of their own?

                  It's what is holding them back.
