So you can have a sleek-looking Fusion, or the pantyhose egg on wheels Prius. I know which one I'd take if I had to.
How inconvenient that the Volt isn't listed. However it is finally listed, it will be wrong, which bodes poorly for customer satisfaction.
Why is the EPA still picking on the Bugatti Veyron? It really bothers me that they're singling out low-volume supercars for stuff like this.
I like it. It looks good. A change of any kind was bound to disappoint some people. So long as they get rid of the plasticky insides. But we know that they will never do that.
