A breakdown of reasons why I don't like hybrid cars:
Look = ugly
Performance = slow
Engine = tiny (and shuts down at every stop)
Wheels = too small to be visible
As for fuel economy, you may as well drive a diesel. It costs less to maintain and is about as good. I suppose people forgot about all the poisonous chemicals used in the battery. It's almost like saying nuclear power is kind to the environment.
The only positive thing about hybrid cars, there's not enough power to handle extra body kits and spoilers.... so you'll probably never see a riced version on the road. Never know, the riceboys will probably find a way around it (ex. using foam instead of plastic or wood)
