Who the Fu** in the capital stoped Honda from making the Clarity? It pretty much would've stopped all electric/hybrid manfuactures dead in their tracks if this car was viable to the public.
I agree with XB70 that with battery technology today that its not a really all that great of an idea to have an all electric motor car. Most can't even get you out of the city before it needs to be juiced for another 30mins~a full day. So yeah Full electric/Hybrids are today's "rich" peoples play toy more then anything else. Green is the new Greed.
To maximus20895 most diesel cars in Europe to be a competitor HAS to get around 40+ MPG if they want to make sales. But you have to also consider that MOST diesel cars are small (Honda Fit/Jazz size) and thats something that really doesn't fly with us Americans (bigger roads + faster speed limits + even bigger cars on the road = people who won't buy it).
Nobody stopped Honda's Clarity. Get yours now! How many hydrogen stations are located in your area? Oh, crap. We're going to need 5,000 hydrogen station to make this work.....
If Obama raises gasoline taxes by $1/gallon and taxes us for every mile driven (clowns in Congress are working on that bill right now), we could have hydrogen stations all over by 2015!

I don't know about you, but I don't want a GPS/locator feeding the government my vehicle's location 24/7.
