I personally think the design is ugly,
http://news.discovery.com/autos/fuel-and-alternative-fuel-technologies/honda-unveils-its-hydrogen-powered-car-131125.htm
But,
If its a true Hydrogen powered car, im all for it.
 
Just a few questions, 
How is the hydrogen contained in the vehicle?
How is the Hydrogen shipped to stations?
How is the Hydrogen stored at the stations?
and,
How efficient is the transfer from solid state to liquid state at the station and what is the cost of doing that?
 
other than those few mental hurdles, im all for it.

    I always wonder why they have to screw with design on cars when they do alternative fuel types? You can make a car look like a car even if the power plant is different. Looking at the picture it's not an engineering issue with weight. It looks like purely an aesthetic design just because they could. Don't manufacturers know that half the reason why alternative fuel cars don't sell is they don't look like attractive cars? Make a car look like a car, not like some ugly first year design student's future car. Change is not always good, change for change sake is a stupid premise. I say the design of the car body is stupid because of that.

    well,..........
    Id still drive it.
    if it were a gas engine, id put a bag over my head though,
    If it were truely hydrogen, id consider taking the bag off, maybe.

    Honda, 1985 called they want their future car back!
     
    Or, Honda just hired some cupcake males still going through puberty/mid life crisis, or elementary school kids do their design work!!
