2009 Cadillac Converj, 2009 Volkswagen Concept BlueSport, 2010 Fisker Karma – Sexier Sippers
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
We want ‘em now, but we don’t have ‘em yet. These are earth-friendly machines that you’d buy on looks alone.Despite the sudden drop in gas prices, the long-term trend toward green cars appears solidly in place. But if green machines are the new reality, when are they going to look like something other than dull or dorky little nerd-mobiles? The just-introduced redesigned Toyota Prius and the new Honda Insight, for instance, are the twin geeks of hybrid propulsion. And the boxy new Lexus HS250h hybrid has all the visual dynamism of a shrunken Toyota Camry. None of the mid-size hybrid sedans are anything exciting to look at, and neither is Volkswagen’s Jetta TDI. Where is the style? Where is the swagger? Where is the sex appeal?
