Well, we might see the FCX, since it was EPA approved years ago and honda does say it will come out next year, :)

Perhaps we'll see one... maybe two of those.... Likely we'll see them reincarnated as part of another vehicle...
The RX8 went from concept to production with almost no changes :thumbup: But that's rare :P

That's the only one that's not Fugly. IMO

The FCX is fugly.
Have you seen frontal pictures of it? Looks completely freakish.
If you're going to go hydrogen fuel cell, I don't think the freaky aerodynamic design is really that necesary.

Yes:)
I took some pics of FCX at the LA Auto show this past year (IMHO, I think it looks pretty good):

Looks bigger than what I need... but I'd ride in that.... After I blocked off the grille and did some adjustments to those wipers :p

the 2nd generation FCX does look a bit more airodinamic then the 1st generation FCX, altho it looks to be the size of a whale! I guess it's coeficent of drage is pretty low with that shape, but the first generation FCX looked like a nice little car, to bad only 13 of them were ever introduced in to US fleets.
