95% of the cars designed and built today are either nondescript or just plain butt ugly.
It's true. There are very few distinctively designed cars - and since SUVs and CUVs dominate the market, they all share a similar silhouette. I wouldn't call many of them ugly, but nondescript is quite accurate.
My youngest daughter just bought a Toyota Rav4 Hybrid - not a plug-in, but one that powers the rear wheels with an electric motor that's powered by the gas motor. There were three reasons for that choice:
1) It's faster than the gas model! This was important because she and I both hate slow cars. Anything that move out faster than 7 seconds 0-60 usually doesn't interest us.
2) NO plug in required. The whole idea of plug in cars with today's electric-only driving ranges is a huge drawback.
3) Although it's faster than the gas model, it gets better mileage - over 40 on the highway.
It's also a curious color called Lunar Rock, which looks, grey. green or blue depending on the light. She has black wheels on it like this one.
