Studies have shown that the regular shaped cars like the Civic Hybrid don't sell as well as the Prius, which has a "hybrid look". Owning a hybrid is a bit of a status symbol among the greeneis so they want people to instantly recognize they're driving one. The new Insight is a little more palatable than the original one. I have noticed though that there seem to be an awful lot of hybrids (especially the Prius) on used car lots recently. People are buying (leasing) them but they aren't hanging onto them. So much for it being a "best value".

Maybe people are getting tired of inhaling their own farts all the time.

Look at the Tesla. Indistinguishable from the Lotus Elise from which it's derived. And, despite the problems the company has, there's a big waiting list.

I would LOVE to have my S2000 in a hybrid format - with totally unchanged styling.

I think in this current, early stage of Hybrids that typical first-adopters (enthusiasts) are probably buying them. Me? No way am I gonna get in something that ugly.

Sorry - life is too short. :-)
