I spotted a Honda Insight [1]in Alcoa yesterday. Even though I could not see any hybrid label I knew by the look (different, weird, ugly, whatever) it had to be a hybrid. Honda stopped making the Insight in 2006.
This summer Honda is introducing the FCX Clarity [2]hydrogen car to the U.S. Initially it will only be available in selected locations in California, i.e. Torrance, Santa Monica and Irvine.
Honda has to make fueling stations [3]readily available. They are also working on home energy stations [4]. Although, I suppose it could be a problem in the future to be dependent on natural gas.
Check out the reviews [5] from The New York Times and USA Today.
What are US car companies doing? I still can't find a Ford Escape Hybrid and they seem to be even less available than they were a couple of months ago in the larger market areas, e.g. Atlanta, Orlando, etc.
