I'm glad to see something besides fossil fuel cars being developed. They may look ugly or perform so-so now, but that's just the baby steps of development. With time they could be much improved. Even if the performance never improves, the niche for potential commuter use is undeniable.
My friend's Insight is really impresive. He gets a consistent 71 mpg out of that thing, and occasionally hits 90 mpg. If anybody can come up with a well-engineered hydrogen car, Honda can.
