I haven't seen a butt-ugly or clown car hybrid yet, but I guess that's
just my tastes. Considering that there's the Toyota Prius, Toyota
Estima, Toyota Alphard, (mild) Toyota Crown, Honda Insight, Honda
Civic, and... Most of those look just like their non-hybid siblings.
Ford has pushed back the release on their hybrid Escape at least a
year,
so I don't know if it'll make the latest release date of this summer
2004,
but... http://www.fordvehicles.com/escapehybrid/frameset.asp (use a

The Lexus RX330 (aka Harrier) will have a hybrid option available late
fall 2004, relabeled the Lexus RX400H. http://www.lexus-hybrid.com/
The Toyota cousin to the Lexus RX330, the Toyota Highlander (aka
Kluger)
will be available with a hybrid option in the spring of 2005.

The GM "hybrid" pickup trucks are best described as "Mild Hybrids," as
the 42v system does not provide any motive force. The info sheet for
the GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado "hybrid" pickups is here:
