Favorite green cars. Yes the color green.
Main Post:
I don’t know anything about cars, but I love the color green.
My first car was this beautiful deep green 1998 Honda civic. Was my everyday car until 2021 when someone rear ended me, since then I’ve been riding my bike and taking the bus. The paint was flaking by the late 2000s since it’s kept outside.
What are your favorite green cars? Hoping to get some ideas.
Top Comment: Any Aston Martin in British Racing Green. Old Land Rovers too. Oh and Jags, pretty much anything british.

Top Comment: The superstition of green race cars being unlucky. Like Teotwaki69, I have had one green car out of 14 cars and that one was the only one that gave me severe mechanical issues to the point where the company (Ford) fixed it for free out of warranty.
Not the green car, but the red car driving by and ruining my pic.

Probably the biggest difference in taste I’ve ever seen in one photo.
Why do most electric or "green" cars look so ugly?
Main Post:
Take a look at the Nissan Leaf, Toyota Prius, Chevy Volt, etc. Most of these cars scream "eco-friendly" simply because of its exterior design. I have the feeling that most people have simply accepted that these cars are "different" and that it follows that the design of the exterior would be different too, but there is no need for this.
Imagine if a car like the Prius sans all the energy-efficient features, essentially a Prius with a typical gasoline engine in it. I imagine most people would think that it is hideous. Yet, stick an electric motor in it and people forget about this. This sort of thing makes me believe that Tesla is on to something: electric cars that look like cars. They're comparable to other luxury gasoline cars, but no dumb looking tail lights, names like "Leaf" (or tree counters), etc.
So how about it? What is your opinion?

Some of it is simply that a lot of people want a car that looks different, electric, and futuristic.
Some of it is that the designs are incredibly low drag and allow for greater range or efficiency.

But seriously, could you get away with it? It is only written green vehicle on the sign so one could interpret it as the actual color of the vehicle...
What does this green car light mean? Did a bunch of searching but can't find the answer.

Top Comment: It means it’s ready to drive. You probably haven’t noticed it before, but it’s always there if it’s on and ready to be shifted into drive or reverse.
