nope but your certainly not the type of car owner they are looking to sell too. Your what they'd call a fringe comsumer, they dont care what you think of it.

In that kind of car, you have competing requirements. you need it to be streamlined, you also need it to have space inside for 4 full size adults, you need the performance to be decent, but at the same time fuel efficient.. so many factors combine and i am sure that making it look hot is down the list quite a bit... sure if you sacrifice room inside, or FE you can make it into a hot looking car.. and the Volt is doing that.. but you have to make sacrifices... and Toyota/Honda are doing that.. the car isnt "Ugly", its just not RX-7 type hot.. its certainly not a Yugo and from inside driving it, and when you go to the gas pump half as much, no one cares what it looks like... its about function.
