Smart Cars

 

For my first rant, I’d like to start off small actually and build up as I go along here.  I just can’t for the life of me believe I am alone in thinking that hybrid technology can’t possibly be bad enough that we can’t start looking more stylish in a hybrid.

The ugliest cars on the road are hybrids.  I don’t know if they make them that way to stand out so folks can feel better about driving a car that could fly away as a 18 wheeler drives past it or if they honestly just can’t fit a nice frame around a hybrid engine.

What is it about a car or now even a truck having to look like absolute garbage to be a hybrid.  Are you telling me that you cannot make a freaking Mustang or any of the other absolutely stunning looking cars on the road into a hybrid using the same tech you are using to make these cars that look like shoe fitters?

Driving down the road I am daily inundated with some of the most appalling to even look at cars driven by some of the most stupid people on the planet.  How can a Smart car that can barely hold you and another person and enough air to breath be safe enough to drive on a high way.  I’m in a Ford Ranger XLT that isn’t huge by any means and I dwarf these cars. 

Hey, I’m all for folks that want to drive a hybrid drive them.  I just think that if they were to expand the models to include NICER looking cars…Folks would buy ‘em. 

The worst part is…they aren’t even any cheaper sigh…

Well that is my 2 cents for today.
