Honda FCX Clarity Hydrogen















Honda FCX Clarity Hydrogen



A few month ago Honda contacted me to see if I would like to test drive their mini van, the Odyssey. As a mommy blogger I could see where they might think I'd like a mini van. But with the environment getting worse and worse, I'm trying to make some better choices. So I asked if I might try one of their hybrids instead. Well, I gotta tell you all I hit the jack pot. They came right back with the offer to try the Clarity.
I thought it would be small like a Prius, but it's a full size sedan. The Clarity is a fuel cell electric vehicle and zero emission hydrogen powered. It's amazing what a smooth ride it is. It looks like they are only available for lease and only in small quantities. If you have the means and the opportunity, I highly recommend you get one of these.
The only down side is the trunk is small, that's where they keep the hydrogen. If you have older children (or none) it wouldn't be a problem. You can definitely fit five or six grocery bags. But if you need to cart around a stroller, this might not be your best choice.
Here's a little video of me loving the car.

So want to check this out. I'm absolutely determined that the next car I buy will be either a hybrid, electric or hydrogen. No way will I buy another gas based car.

I was going to add some music but then I just decided I liked the city sounds. Sirens and all.
