Rev Up Your Green Engines
Carmakers at the L.A. Auto Show are falling all over themselves to look environmentally conscious. Here’s what you’ll see on the highway.
Dec. 8, 2006 - Jon Spallino’s commute to work is unlike yours. Sure, he hops in his Honda, listens to NPR and sits in traffic for an hour. But his Honda spews hot water out its tailpipe instead of greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide. Does your car do that? Spallino, who lives with his wife, Sandy, and two young daughters in Redondo Beach, Calif., gets to feel better about his commute because the automaker chose him as the first public test driver of its FCX hydrogen fuel-cell-powered car. For a year and a half now, the Spallinos have used the car as a daily driver to see how it functions in the real world.
