Honda FCX concept - Previews

OK, geek talk aside, did anybody notice the awesome styling of the FCX? I thought the Prius looked cool and modern, but this FCX styling is amazing. If they dropped a decent hybrid powertrain in there, and gave it a nice Prius like video screen, I really would be tempted to trade my Prius in. I can't tell if the FCX is a hatch back or sedan. It would be nice if Honda got out of their sedan rut.

I sure hope that Toyota doesn't blow it with the 2008 Prius styling. They have been getting a little wierd lately. Not sure what they were thinking with that bull-nose Camry. Sienna is looking like a Dodge Intrepid.

Yep, if you look closely, the new Civic and CR-V share the front design... bits of it anyway.

The drawings for the next Corolla hatch looks very nice compared to the current Corollas.

Hope that hatch comes here and have a hybrid option.

If a FCV is "great" in this situation, then a BEV would be indescribably fantabulous at 4x the efficiency. If we're making electricity in some expensive, green way - or if we make it in a cheap dirty way - we might as well use it wisely. Throwing it away on H2 ain't it. Odd that you seem to want the wrong things for the right reasons....

I do think BEVs have their purpose but so do FCVs. You don't see tractor trailers running on petrol do you? I can't imagine a tractor trailer, running entirely on batteries, hauling stuff across the continent. Not yet. The technology isn't there, and probably won't be for another few decades. At least.
