Beaten With An Ugly Stick

The Jetsons interior is interesting, but the rest... :puke:

Oh well, I'm sure eco-friendly Honda lovers will line up to buy them. :rolleyes:

And did someone forget to remind Honda of how much traditional energy it takes to produce hydrogen fuel? It may be a fuel for the future, but it ain't practical today.

That designer should be :chair: - that thing is fugly.

I don't think it's so bad at all. Rather, it's an interesting design solution for a very high efficiency car, thus the overall shape optimizing aerodynamic efficiency and interior volume -- think large Prius. The nose detailing is a bit busy and a couple of other details seem gratuitous, but overall, a rather forward looking and well rendered design solution.

Sure, they could have done a more traditional sedan, but they already have the Accord, so what would be the point there?

Hydrogen really is more of an energy storrage medium for, as Hollywood pointed out, it takes a lot of energy to actually produce. Pretty much all natural hydrogen -- outside of stars and interstellar gas -- is chemically bound up in, say, water (H2O) or hydrocarbon chains (oil and gas). Catalyzing the first to create H2 takes lots of energy in the first place while oxidizing the latter to release energy also releases all that bound up carbon as CO2, which is making Mother Earth a bit hot under that collar.

I'm trying not to.

And therein lies the problem.

Could be worse it could look like the new Skyline which is the ugliest car with the most horrendous interior i've seen in some time.

I saw a commercial for one of these and my first thought was,"How the heck is that efficient."
Clean burning sure, but getting the fuel is a dirty shame.:shame:

:lol: Im just thinking about how many angry fanboys would be going nuts right now if this wasnt a domestic site.

It'd do great in Europe, they like bubbles.

Personally I'm sick of egg shaped bubble cars. If this is where auto design
is going (and it has been for 20 years now) I may be walking in the future...

:banana:

Cab-forward? They're about 15 years late.

"... full tank of hydrogen compressed to 5,000 psi..."

Shouldn't there be a no smoking sign in the cabin? :dunno:


:jester:

Another "NEXT!!!" for Hon DUH.

YUCK!:bad:

in this case, form IS function (or the other way around)
