I don't see what you are talking about. You have to admit the prius is pretty ugly as well. What is it about these hybrids that keeps lending themselves to that stupid shape

maybe it gives them less of a drag coefficient and more aerodynamics. Either way they look almost identical. why?

The pic of the car on the roll-over is not a pic of the insight.

Then what is it? Sure looks like an Insight to me.

They're talking about the plain gray drawing of a VW Rabbit (pictured numerous times above).

Who cares? Their web developer needs to just change the image. Once you click on the vehicle the insight appears.

Besides aerodynamics and low CDs, they're meant to distinguish themselves from anything else on the road. That certainly was the case with the 2nd gen prius...there is no mistaking that vehicle.

I actually don't think the face of the car is that bad even - sporty for sure. The rear end is a little bland, but it isn't really sin-ugly like the Pilot or Accord sedan for instance. Just my opinion.
