    :eek: Thats a great design there! I hope that honda doesn't stray away from the FCX Clarity though. I really believe that's the best choice for the future.
    All the extra water vapor in the air from hydrogen combustion should have some interesting impacts on climate.
    Hopefully toyota will come up with a counter for hondas FCX for competitions sake.

    Yeah but there's less of a chance you can get yourself into trouble with a lower hp car. Leave the high hp cars to the track (and if an owner is really into sports cars, he/she would have already have access to a local racetrack either through memberships or just drop-ins).

    Not a fan, saw it in person and as it looks like what I've read, a giant dust buster. Rear angle is the best. IMA is not a hybrid, its an assist. Its knows as the CR-Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Someone needs to spend a warm August in a Porsche turbo Cab on pacific coast highway around noon ... drifting through Huntington Beach, in Sunday traffic ... from one red light to another ... thong clad pedestrians abounding. After that, one's opinion may slightly modify.

    Supply the vehicle and I'll be there :D.. and then afterwards I'll dust myself off of all the guilt of burning that much fuel which I think is better spent on a 911 Turbo.

    Honda to Deliver 200 Fuel-Cell Autos Through 2011 (Update2) - Bloomberg
    The reason Duleep's wishfull thinking is unconfirmed is because it's his fantacy. Costs are still well into the multiple hundreds of thousands and that's why Honda did not coroborate his guess.
    The New Atlantis » The Hydrogen Hoax
    Be glad . . . be VERY glad, that many auto manufacturers have given up on this hoax ... not to mention that even the oil companies (one time gearing up to build the "hydrogen highway" ... until they realized the cost would be in the trillions, and the ROI would never be there) have thrown in the towel and have no intention to ever build any infrastructure. I love high tech as much as the next tech nut but that's not the same as wasting tax dollars so that researchers can send their kids and grand kids to college.
