    I hope all new Civic get Earth Dreams engines (Direct injection and possibly variable valve lift (AVTEC) so there'll be no more need for the throttle plate. Also auto start/stop, since it is a proven reliable technology that saves some gas in the city.

    I hope the regular Civic get new engines and transmissions too. Currently it uses the same engine (R18A1) and automatic transmission used in the 2006 Civic, 8 years old!

    fcvs make money for Oil and Auto companies. The hydrogen (h2) is not going to be made from renewable sources as touted, it is going to be made the cheapest way possible so Oil company profits are highest: it will most likely be made from natural gas, methane, ch4. And no one is talking about the disposal of the gunk left over after the reforming/extraction.

    h2 prices are going to climb right along with petroleum prices. The price of the ch4 the U.S. imports is going up, and up. See

    fcvs are not a solution. They are being promoted by the companies that will profit: Oil and Auto.

    Either see if an EV or plugin hybrid will suit your needs, or stay with your high mpge fuel car.
