I think this is a very cool lookin car, and i think the tech. put into it is facinating though the only thing i find wrong with it is where is the safety? If you got in a head on collision there doesnt seem to be much in between you and what you hit.... but other than that that looks to be a sweet ride, plenty of visibility, room, etc etc (tho itd be hard gettin used to the handling after using a steering whell column for soo long)

Man, is this one ugly car. lately, more and more cars have been coming out with these terrible designs (Smart-Brabus 1st Edition, Dodge Kahuna, etc.) and i just hate it. this looks something like a lamborghini minivan, but i think some car companies need to step up with some sweet designs to make up for mistakes like these.

"I don't thing that someone could argue that a car powered by this kind of technology would produce more polution than a normal (internal combustion-powered vehicle). However I have this question... What is the cost (in enviromental terms) for the production of such a car. For example a sunlight powered vehicle produces zero polution, however during the production of its precious cells (usually out of Si I believe) vast anounts of heat (heat polution), and not only are produced... Anyway beyond all these, the car is a faboulous example of an ongoing attempt by GM to ""port"" high Tech into automotives, especialy in the field of alternative Fuel. Even if the hall project ends in vain, GM (and perhaps the entire car industry) will have gained very much on technology and knowhow... """

Very interesting indeed, just wondering what the range of such a car is going to be. Will it require refuelling (rewatering) every 200-300 km's or so?

"For those interested, this month's Scientific American has an outstanding look at the GM Fuel Cell research and a great comparison to internal combustion. I personally think it is an inevitability that fossil fuel powered vehicles will carry a premium for use as the years go on as personal transportation - hopefully never to be totally banned or prohibited provided emission standards can be achieved. There is something to be said, however for the brilliance of fuel cell propulsion; think of the fluid, quiet, rapid rate of acceleration of an electric mass transportation vehicle. Now imagine operating such a vehicle at high speed on superhighways. I consider the idea very appealing, even though at heart the experience of driving a fine motor car is so ingrained in our popular culture. Public speed over 100MPH is socially thick regardless of propulsion, so I say kudos to GM engineering, and let's get over it and on with it."""
