i have to partially disagree with you, chuck. the maroon5 civic hybrid is unique, but does not look 'cool.' overdone black decals on white paint and the huge website on the back bumper creates a chaotic and conflicting finish, and the body appearance lacks gleam and smoothness. the comments on 7th gen civic mostly agree.

however, the sound/suspension and wheels of the car are very nice. the alpine head unit and amp are premium (the flat touch-screen mimics contours of buttons when you run your fingers over them, allowing you to adjust settings without looking at the screen), and the new springs and lighter konig wheels do a good job on the car.

winning the car would be nice, but first thing i'd do is take off all those decals.
but then again, without all those decals, it wouldn't be much of a pr promotion for maroon 5 and honda. it would just be another riced out civic..but hybrid style.
