Road Test: Honda FCX Concept
Step on the, er, gas.
Dec. 18, 2006 issue - When I talk of hydrogen as transportation fuel, you think of the Hindenburg, right? But hydrogen got a bum rap in that disaster, since the Hindenburg's flaming demise was likely due to the airship's flammable powdered-aluminum coating. Hydrogen, in fact, can be a safer fuel than gasoline, and Honda is betting billions we'll flock to its hydrogen fuel-cell hybrid FCX (sure to be renamed) sedan when it comes out in 2008. You might have to kick me out of line first. I tested the FCX on California's Laguna Seca Raceway and was given no caveats by the Honda folks on how to drive the thing.
