Yeah, it has been modified. But it's only the ride height, really.
We're not saying "LOL NEEDS BIG WHEELS FOR THIS THREAD", far from it, what we're saying is "It's so minor, who would even notice?" But if that floats your boat, then that's fine but you really don't need to be so passive aggressive.

These Escort MKIII's need some more true love. I was shocked to find something really good.
Damn that's good.
This car is currently on my calendar and I love it.

No..no way..please, did I really like this?
Come on..it's a Nissan Leaf...but..it's actually modified nicely and not exagerrated... Nice wheels too...
...
Okay. I'm done. I found a good Prius. I'm not kidding.
And another...this one I'm giving a shot in the dark. yes, I do think it's tasteful.
I've seen Priuses modified and never seen one quite like it. Damn.

No people tend to enjoy Hybrid's that aren't stale and reek of those high and mighty "oh I'm saving the environment, you planet killer."
There are plenty of fun hybrid's that aren't even super car level and they're also no where nearly as boring as what we see in most of the Toyota line up. I like the Leaf he posted, but it reminds me a bit of a Apple Mouse.

That model Prius is still a rather good looking car, though. It's not one of the best and nearly everything, other than that and the fact that the hybrid is quite a clever idea, about it isn't as attractive, for instance the owners, the salesmen, and the thing that starts with a T and ends with an A.

Damn this TT looks good with BBS LM's.

How on earth is this tasteful?The wheels/tires are [just a few millimeters away from] touching the wheel arches. And there's almost no rubber on those wheels.
Sorry I don't apply to your obviously very strict taste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

relax dude, I was just exaggerating. No offense meant. I just don't like the overall look, that's all. The big wheels would have been fine for me, but the extremely lowered ride height that makes the bodywork touch the tires just ruined it for me.
I thought the exclamation marks certified I didn't take your opinion seriously.

If the wheels were flush then it would look great, but they aren't, and I'm not one to like wheels tucked under like that. It is nice though.
