On that note I am excited about the hydrogen powered cars that Honda is developing. If they can harness that technology and make it available to the masses as petroleum based fuel is now, then we have an answer to fuel shortages and can stick two fingers up at the Arabs.

I think it`s a good vehicle and goes well not a fireball but a reasonable performance and very economical and I would have been seriously tempted had it been a hatchback but it`s not and I personally think that Honda would have sold a lot more of them in this country had they offered a hatchback.
