New Honda Car

check it out

Good find and good read. What to you think Bruce?

I think it's a waste of money for an ugly car.

"I won't be around when the world ends, so the only thing I recycle is your girlfriend"

I think before crying about oil... we (as humans) would be better off looking at mass producing solar panels and using those for a lot of our needs before buying expensive cars to save $10/week.

I don't think hybrid's are worth it at all.

Double_B

Good point. I didn't see a picture of it in the article, was there one?

Double_B

Ok, just googled it, yeah it's ugly like ***..................so is the family!

"Spallino was at the wheel of his silver Honda FCX, a car worth about $1 million that looks like a cross between a compact - say, a Volkswagen Golf - and a cinder block."

google it!

if we stopped producing ALL green house gases, right now, it'd take a hundred years for the environment to correct the changes we've already made. i think hybrid cars are a good step, but if they really wanna make a difference the money spent on this research would be better spent on research of how to eliminate the carbon in the air.

its already messed up, a little more wont hurt

stock94block

neat but I think what's actually stopping this new technology from being introduced is the money. I'm guessing what's slowing everything down is trying to figure out a way to make money off of it (like gas stations is what i mean)...i'm sure they could make a car run on air but how do you charge people for that?

overall, that car is ugly!

the FCX isn't a hybrid

I agree with you, Hybrids aren't the answer....but they are a steping stone to the next technology (which could be fuel cell cars like the FCX)...

imported_viper_2_4

wow, strange coincidence we are discussing Fuel cell technology in my science class tonight...

imported_Bruce Fee

viper, i was aware it wasn't a hybrid. i was just adding some thoughts.

imported_viper_2_4

I think it will be close to 20 years before you see fuel cell car for personal use (at a reasonable price), there are still too many things to work out, hydrogen fueling infastructure, cost of making fuel cells, limited availabilty of platnum, fuel cell's water membranes freezing in cold environments, ect ect.....

you will see them in commercial applications tho...

imported_Team Rukus

that car looks nice.
reminds me of the old honda city alot

imported_gatherer

fuel cell swon't work sinc ethere is a negative EROEI (energy returned on enrgy invested) see they use electricity to produce the hydrogen then you don't get all that electricity back when it combines with oxygen....

so if you have a system like fuel cells our over burdened energy girds are burdened even more and on top of that we burn oil coal and uranimum to produce electrity many and all 3 of those resources are finite resources on the planet...

we have to develop HYdro, Wind and solar power to replace the current limited fuels we use.

Nova_Dust

I think I saw that on Discovery once. Whatever works I guess.

Turbo4U

That piece of crap is worht $1million. What a waste of money even if it is one of a kind so far.

imported_Team Rukus

actually there are about 10 of them about 5 of them are being used by california's enironmental protections agency.

also many car manufacturers already have this technology and have concepts of it made that are actually drivable.

YO ITS GOT 5 LUG!

i wouldnt pay **** 4 that ..
