Honda FCX Clarity - Zero emission car

[temi]

I found the new of a zero emission car Honda has just started manufacturing pretty exciting:
Japanese car manufacturer Honda has begun the first commercial production of a zero-emission, hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicle.
The four-seater, called FCX Clarity, runs on electricity produced by combining hydrogen with oxygen, and emits water vapour.
Honda claims the vehicle offers three times better fuel efficiency than a traditional, petrol-powered car.

I hope it has more power and looks better than the geewhizz. Why do they have to make Green cars so ugly. I would be tempted to buy a Toyota Prius if it weren't so ugly

The problem with the hydrogen fuel cell cars is that not only are they expensive but at the same time there is no place to re-fuel the car of hydrogen. From what I have read it is more practical for fleets like delivery trucks, and transit buses to use hydrogen as they can order it in bulk from a hydrogen supplier!
