I'm a little surprised by that, to be honest.
The only reason it surprises you is because the Leaf has been around longer.
I think if we expect a mass EV adoption, we have to make them look like normal cars OR cool. Obviously electric looking cars are going to have same issue as Prius did, most of the early adopters will be people who want everyone to know they are better than you. Most people are boring and right and are OK with that.
Absolutely, good looking cars sell, end of story. If the auto companies (GM, I am looking at you here) would pull their heads out of their asses would realize this too. Hell GM should know from their experience with the EV1. It was no beauty queen to be sure, but it looked decent, and even a bit funky (in a cool way) because of the aero treatments the car got.
