As the move toward more compact, electrically based, drive trains are on the horizon, and some here now. Designers are already trying to hammer out ideas of how to make the next generation of Hybrids and electric cars look good. Obviously this car goes pretty far and wide, but is quite effective. I would take this over a Prius (I would take a Suzuki Swift over a Prius), if this Quaranta was for sale. It looks as futuristic as it's promise. Car styling has always been a matter of personal taste. Like All Art not everyone will go for the same work for the same reasons. But I think this is a very successful design, even if it isn't a universal appealing one.
