Oh I know that I'd have to fork out additional money to customize the car right from the get-go. Same as I had to spend thousands of dollars to make my former ZX3 look and perform more the way I wanted.
I've got nothing against Hybrids, except for the fact that most of them are blatantly made to look nothing like anything else on the road, or they come in weak colour choices, both inside and out (think seafoam green or robin's egg blue with a tan cloth interior...yuck). I think the Escalade Hybrid, the Malibu Hybrid, and perhaps the Fusion are the only exceptions (they look halfways cool, rather than lame).
I've seen a couple of Fusion Hybrids at the Lincoln Heights Ford dealership on Richmond here in Ottawa, and they weren't too bad...didn't have weird colours or weird rims to set them apart from the gas powered units. Though the triple black AWD Sport they had there was very choice, and reminded me of the Saab SPG's of old, or the new Turbo X...has that kind of stealth performance look/feel to it.
