    just looking at honda releasing a prius clone now , and was thinking , are there many hybrids that dont look so 'futuristic' that you know their a hybrid a mile off, the prius being the prime example of a terrible looking car that you instantly know theres something different about. the only ones i can think of are :

    honda civic hybrid
    lexus rx400h
    lexus ls600h

    any others ?

    Lexus Gs 430 as my neighbour ellegantly described, "A 3.5 with the power of a 4.3". Nearly knocked me down one day, didn't here it coming.

    On a funny note, at the start of 07 myself and a friend were watching a women trying to park a Lexus Rx. Next thing we hear no noise from the car, and started laughing (i know),thought she had conked it. Little did we realise it was hybrid:o:rolleyes:

    i'm sure i've seen a Toyota previa 2.4 hybrid, looks pretty normal for an mpv.
    A quick look at cbg only shows the ones you've mentioned.A bit short on choice really.

    The fact is that most people driving hybrids are trying to make a statement about how much they love the environment. How can you look down your nose at others pompously if your eco friendly car doesn't look like an oversized wedge with frisbees for wheels?

    There's an Estima Hybrid wandering about Ennis town as well, I don't know if it's an Irish or JDM car though.
