Agreed. Its definitely funky looking, not the nicest looking car out there. I bought it 2 yrs ago used for a great price. I commute long distances, fireman in the fl keys and I live in Miami.. My second job however, I drive the twin turbo coupe.

Its prob not the future, but it sure has been the leading most selling hybrid since the early 2000's. I'm happy with it for now, and always inclined to newer better technologies. BTW, 4 months before buying the coupe i placed a down payment on the model s by Tesla. The package that i wanted was going to cost me near 90k. I opted out, not ready for it yet. But believe me, i will one day. Maybe something better, and hopefully cheaper!

Reports I've read seem to suggest that the US *and* Canada have enormous reserves of natural gas...hundreds of years of supply IIRC.And they're finding more each day.If that's true CNG might prove to be the car of the future.
