that's pretty cool. but how's someone supposed to fill it with compressed hydrogen gas? heh, i wonder what gas prices are for that......also, why's the car so heavy? almost 4,000 pounds? but it's torque is pretty impressive, i guess.

yeah, it's pretty fugly, but at least honda is back to innovation.... . well, cool beans!

I think it is starting production in los angeles. And the govnmnt is looking into being able to maybe someday replace gas stations with hydrogen fuel stations. I think in LA Honda may be introducing some sort of fuel cell filling stations.

Dude! That's awesome, Go Honda! ZEV....
For 170 miles i guess comparitivaly to the gallon... It isn't that ugly...
It's kinda goofy looking, but for everything that car stands for a little goofy or fugly doesn't mean that much, I'd drive it daily, and take my car out only on weekends, or dates or something.. I think that is great, and I'd be in the first group to lease one when it comes out..

I'm guessing that'd be pretty costly. Liquid hydrogen doesn't sound all that cheap.

actually, hydrogen is the most abundant resource/element on the planet. it's everywhere. they are trying to perfect a way of manufacturing it cheaply, and once it's done, it should be VERY cheap to buy.

Well, I read something about some home appliance that can make compressed hydrogen. But it also said it was less then half as effective as the liquid stuff normally used. But hey, I don't know much about all this new fangled schtuff.
