July 15, 2006 By

This video of a GM prototype is very interesting. Are you ready for a car like this?

    Great comment, Karim. Yep, it may be Toyota bringing us that Hy-Wire car, as GM struggles to make changes to its existing plants.

    As a former Detroiter, I know that GM will never bring that car to market. They do this kind of stuff to convince congress they are investing in alternative fuels and so they deserve a break on fuel efficiency requirements on the current crop of guzzlers. Its a dog and pony show.

    Toyota is eating their lunch and will eventually get around to their breakfast and dinner too if they don’t wise up.

    I looove Top Gear, best car show on TV, although not available in the US, only on YouTube. They should really distribute it here. It’s great. (you can buy region 2 dvds on ebay and they do play on laptops)

    About the Hydrogen car. It’s cool, but the issue with the hydrogen power is the highly exposive and dangerous nature of transporting, and refilling the hydrogen tank and the risk of accidents with it. It pretty much means instant-death with how explosive it is. I think they have to work on the saftey stuff and the cost reduction of offering this technology before it will impact our lives.

    Research and development of this kind of thing is still cool though and I hope the new developments keep on coming.
