I agree.

Toyota would certainly shake things up by introducing new technologies, but it seems a bit unpractical. Unless it can go 200,000 miles without a hitch, keep insurance costs low, maintenance, as well as the MSRP, it will be a tough sell. I very much like the looks of the car, like the idea of moving forward into the future, and give kudos to Toyota for stepping out there, however, I’m not sure that’s the way to go.

I would certainly like to see vehicles that cut C02 but with the hybrids (battery powered vehicles) we’re trading one evil for another. The waste from batteries would definitely come back to haunt us… perhaps more so than C02.

Maybe the answer is to have several different types of vehicles on the road at once. If you had a percentage of Bio Fuel vehicles, Fuel Cell, and Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines, the systems to deliver these fuels would not be overburdened.

I don’t know. Perhaps sports cars and large trucks could be targeted to use Bio-Ethanol and passenger vehicles use fuel cells.

Coincidentally, the Rotary engine takes very well when converted to hydrogen. Mazda has an RX-8 as a test model.
