We all know that cars have been around for a very long time. They are a great luxury and get us from point A to point B quicker than any other transportation, with an exception to a helicopter or some other form of aerial transportation. This could all change dramatically when our natural resource of oil runs out or becomes even scarcer. This is obviously going to result in gas prices to sky rocket and for people to wonder what they will do when they can’t afford the gas prices any longer.
This will result in a transformation of a lot of people to a different type of car. Right now a lot of people have switched to all the different kinds of hybrids. My problem is why do they have to make these practical cars so ugly. There are some new hybrids coming out that are astonishing in looks and look just like any other car with a little hybrid icon in a few spots on the car. This doesn’t change why they had to make the first hybrids so ugly. Who wants to buy a car that get 50 miles to the gallon but looks like a lunar discovery unit?
The first car that comes to mind when I think hybrid is the Toyota Prius. Who would buy this horrifying sight? There is nothing good about the car. It doesn’t have a banging sound system, a smooth ride, or a nice interior. All this POS has is an engine that will run 50 miles on one gallon of gas. Why can’t Toyota make a decently good looking car that people will buy for the looks and the average miles per gallon rate? The only people that are buying this car right now are the people that are goin
g green that most others.
g green that most others.My friend has the Toyota Prius because his parent bought it for him so they didn’t have to spend as much money on gas. I took one road trip in that car and I decided I would rather walk. It was louder than my Jeep on the highway and it was bumpy as hell on a perfectly good road. It was also all over the road, that could have been because the driver sucked but it kind of felt like the wind was pushing us around.
Anyways, to continue along the lines of the outer looks of this car, the front looks like it is heading for a dive into the ground. The hood slopes down and makes the car all in all look like a hedgehog. The back end of the car is straight up and down; the hatchback s
tyle of car doesn’t help either. It doesn’t have any trunk, the backend is basically the back rest of the back seats. The car has a curve looking shape all the way from the front end of the car to the tail of the car. It’s like there is no definition to the car. No mean look, nothing to excite the driver or the people looking at the car. All it has is a slow hybrid engine that can 50 miles to the gallon.

I like this post and I totally agree. Was there a real reason why they had to make these cars look like this?

ReplyDeleteEven though Maddox is an asshole must of the time he's pretty funny check out his description of ugly cars.
I really liked this article, because ever since i was younger when they first started coming out with these cars i would just wonder why are they so ugly? Like yea its good that they are better for the environment and what not but do they have to make them look like crap? I agree 100% i would get one maybe if they looked a little sharper.
ReplyDeleteI definitely could relate to this post because I have always complained about the hybrid cars being so ugly. Why did this happen? They are hideous! I'm glad to see that they are starting to get some sense and make the new hybrids look like actual automobiles.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like there have been a ton of ugly cars coming out lately. Like those really weird shaped Scions. The new cars are all either like a box, or a weird overly curved thing, never in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that these cars are very ugly. Ever since I saw the first one I was wondering who would buy that? But, a family friend recently bought one last year and they absolutely love it. They drove all the way to Florida and stopped to get gas ONCE. To me, if you are looking to save money, the looks of that car doesn't compare to how much gas it saves.
