What do women find sexy? Hybrids. They're chick magnets.

So says a survey by General Motors that found nearly nine in 10 women would rather talk to a guy in a Prius than a Porsche. Dumping the SUV in favor of an econobox would make you more popular at parties, too. Eighty percent of respondents said they find people who drive fuel efficient cars more interesting than those that don't.

Personally, we've never found people at parties give two shakes about what you rolled up in, but maybe we're attending the wrong parties. The survey found 45 percent of respondents consider gas guzzlers a fashion faux-pas.

We're not about to trust the company that brought us the Pontiac Aztek to know the first thing about what's sexy, but GM's survey underscores consumers' changing attitudes toward fuel efficiency as gas flirts with four bucks a gallon.
