Cool technology. Looks like an overturned turtle, though.

Kinda strange that Honda is taking the lead over Toyota on this. I thought their Chairman was kind of ragging on Hybrids as a cyclical fad a year or two ago.

I love my Honda Hybrid. I really hate these lease arrangements, though. They can take the car back without a purchase option, just like they did with their electrics a while back.

When they are as large as an American SUV with the same power, they will have something.

the stack can start at temperatures as low as -22° Farenheit

Generally this vehicle will work from June through August in Fairbanks. Use in other months will be intermittent.

Looks like some sort of large scale test.. Car looks okay.. I’d like to know the performance numbers.

Good for Honda.. But, chances are, this is all a PR campaign....

For the Clarity, Honda has replaced the ultra-capacitors used in the FCX Concept with a lithium-ion battery pack.

Why does this not seem like a good idea?

$600 per month is less than my mortgage! Er... no thanks. It looks promising but I'll wait til a fuel cell car is competitive with gas engine driven cars.
