Kyodo News reports that Honda has obtained a license from the US government to market its new fuel-cell vehicle in the United States. Honda plans to sell the vehicle, which is equipped with a cold-resistant fuel-cell stack, in the second half of this year, the company said.

Fuel efficiency of the new vehicle will improve by about 20 percent from that of existing Honda cars equipped with fuel cells, the report said.

Not to bad but it should be better considering it's Acura's flagship.

Notice those Bimmer-esque trunk lines?

This is my fav. from that siteThe Acura's design or any Honda design does nothing for me at all. Honda cars have all of the design excitement and interest of a toaster.

Yeah. Before I even saw pics of that thing - I heard that it had 20 inch wheels and I knew that Acura knew that something was seriously wrong. After finding - from pictures - that the car does indeed inspire and excite me just as much if not slightly less than my toaster - my suspicions were confirmed.

They had to pre-mod (if you will) this car just to make it at all appealing, shocking or different.
