i think the whole hydrogen/electric thing is just a feel good thing used by auto manufacturers. Look at darin's echo, while it might look like shit, but it's great on gas and gets great mileage. the problem right now is that we are obsessed with power. More power means heavier cars, just to keep the frames from twisting, then you endup with a car marginally faster, yet few hundred pounds more of a porker. remeber the early 90's hondas ? you'd fill them up once and drive for 2 weeks on a tank of gas. why can't they do the same thing now ?

and for the hybrids: the prius is the only one that gets decent gas mileage, but yet is marginally bigger than a civic. all the other hybrid lexuses i drove so far would get maybe 1-2 more mpg than my 175hp awd subaru.

thanks stefan haha you fag.
I really don't see the point in a hybrid suv, because it just seems like a dog chasing it's tail in that instance.
