Understated. The Civic has just a small number of purpose-built styling cues that defines it as a Hybrid. I like that in a car.

A Prius on the other hand, is like having a car with 22" spinners on it. Both have an eclectic and unique take on Style (in a sort of screaming "look at me" way), and target those who feel that they are the epitome of discerning taste.
