While we await the full release of Honda’s FCX Clarity which is now on limited lease (200 units) in the state of California, the next best thing would be to opt for the GX series which uses an engine adapted to run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). This take one closer to a full electric car which is the FCX and exceeds emission standards set for the state. With incorporated dual-stage/dual-threshold front airbags that detect the severity of collisions adjusting deployment speed, coupled with side-curtain airbags to take care of the sides, safety is excellent and greatly improved and comparable with more luxurious cars.
It uses the same technology to drive an F-18 Hornet (drive by wire) using computers to adjust the parameters of the engine to deliver maximum performance when needed. A projected 100 mile/ 160.9 kms range for a full tank of gas is also not bad. Refueling takes overnight for a fully depleted tank which is good if one has a home refueling system that loads fuel as you sleep waking to a full tank ready for another day’s driving.
