first, here is the winner of the latest x-prize. this ultra light car can get 100mpg and was engineered specifically to be ultra light. pretty funky looking but don't look for this to be mass produced. just an experimental car obviously

I have some friends in Cali, who are trying to get on the list for this Car Stoney.

I like the lines of it, But the lease at $600.00 is a forget it. Besides, It can't Haul hay for sh*t.

I definetly like its concept, and design, itd be nice to see all the cars replaced with cars like this but I doubt it will happen

Hydrogen is not a great fuel.  Cost of production and storage brings it to a net loss for efficiency.  On demand generation helps but doesn't make it a worthwhile.  In major cities it might be worth while.  But when you get into rural areas, not so much.

It's using regular old hydrocarbon fuels (gasoline/ethanol mix), not hydrogen.

I like it. They just need to lighten it up some more and add pedals. 

edit: oh you meant the Honda one Sirgod linked not the x-prize one.

pretty nebula!:

Hehe, I probably should have just posted that as a separate thread. I just didn't want to take too much of Stoneys space LOL.
