People tend to stay away from ugly cars. This is true. But believing that cars produced with "compelling design" will sell only because of styling is childish, at best.
Not to say styling can't be a selling point, but the average car buyer nowadays is also concerned with fuel mileage, reliability, liveability, and so many other variables that an great looking car simply won't be able to sell based on looks alone.

Can you say Prius? UGLY, slow, numb.
The Prius maybe ugly and numb(?), but slow it is not. I don't know where you drive, but where I drive, there is so much traffic I can never drive as fast as I'd like. However, my Prius gets me on the freeway onramp quite quickly (past all the other fancier speedy cars who are waiting in line) in the carpool lane!

Does anyone else think Tequila was involved?
