"Hydrogen vehicles are overall still more efficient"
Difference being is that there are losses when converting one form of energy into another. Using electricity to make hydrogen, than using that hydrogen to power a car is less efficient than just using the electricity to power it in the first place.
Isn't the problem with hydrogen is that we have to manufacture it - by using some other source of power? Fine if you have a solar powered hydrogen plant, but if you're getting power off the grid that comes from coal or something, we're just adding a middle man to fossil fuel consumption, right?
I like that the Magnum idea was shot down because "poor wagon sales in the US still make it an unlikely proposition". Do they realize this is at an event that involved a 707hp sedan? A four-door supercharged Dodge? Was that considered a "likely proposition"?

Sorry to post three responses, but the Gordon Murray T25 & T27.
I present the Apter 2e; the ultimate in 21st Century hybrid vaporware.

Thanks to the gradual economic recovery and an abundance of credit at a level we haven't seen in years, Americans…
People happily sell me the bikes I want. They were just made in the late 70s and early 80s by the Japanese manufacturers and have been sitting in the garage for a few decades with less than 5k miles on them. I don't want nor need any of the insanity that comes with modern bikes.
The NSX.
I think the Honda Super Cub is the only vehicle that can come close to the NSX Type R in terms of greatness, albeit for very different reasons. I'm sure the CVCC and Goldwing are great, but are they the greatest? Not a chance.
Isn't the fact that cars keep growing bigger another reason?

Yes, though you don't find this out until you become a level 3 car designer.
With apologies to Dr. Seuss...
I really enjoyed the open world nature of Smuggler's Run 2 and being able to choose between taking the shortest route through hilly terrain or along the roads to keep top speed up. Handling was arcadey, but still pretty challenging to master
Even the K1600GT? I thought it felt nice.
The business case behind the Eunos Cosmos was the same as the one behind the Toyota Soarer, the Mercedes S Class Coupe, and the coming E31 8-Series.
