Honda FCX???

leonphelpss11 · 05-05-2008, 12:00 AM

Well with gas going up, I am seriously considering trading in the FA5 for the FCX. I am prob just going to grab a track only car (240) and DD the FCX. Does anyone have any further info on them? I read the few posts that we posted when i searched, and it really don't have any real info I need or for sale price. How does it run? Does it use gas? How much is it gonna cost? Is maintenance on it going to be retarded expensive? Is it only for lease? Any info would be very appreciative. I am going to be doing a lot of traveling on highway due to me going to college 300 miles away and I can't be paying atleast 40++ to fill up just get to get there and an additional 40 to get back.

You're getting way ahead of yourself...

The FCX uses a hydrogen fuel cell in place of gasoline. So ask yourself this question, where are you going to fill up?

Theyre talking about making a home unit for that. So thats what I was thinking

I believe the FCX will be for lease only. Last I read it was ~600/month.

xtremesportscar · 05-05-2008, 02:57 AM

Excerpt from HONDA: "A limited number of FCX Clarity vehicles will be available for lease only in the Torrance, Santa Monica and Irvine areas in mid-2008. The lease amount will be around $600 per month for three years and it includes maintenance. As hydrogen-supply infrastructure expands, Honda will make more of these remarkable cars available to the public."

emopains · 05-05-2008, 03:08 AM

Damn, they have a lot of torque

emopains · 05-05-2008, 03:09 AM

I would boost mines

leonphelpss11 · 05-05-2008, 09:03 PM

Lol damnit, there goes my hopes of FCX+track 240 car. Well hopefully within the next 5 years they will have that home unit available and Honda is able to produce this car pretty cheap. Doubt it though..

how you gonna manage what everyone else said about the hydrogen prob

**firmhonda** · 05-05-2008, 10:13 PM

Well it's my understanding that they already have everything worked out for the Phill station, so I don't know why they wouldn't release soon. Also, you have to think about the fact that GM has been working very hard to set up a network of "gas" stations across the country so that they can release their own fleet of water vapor emitting vehicles.

If you're serious about this I would just wait and see what unfolds in the coming months. Maybe you could call Honda of America and GM and see what they have in the works..

Did I miss something? I think he is getting a motorcycle

If you actually look at it, it has some nice luxury looks into it for a Honda. I wonder if they release this if they think of also releasing the cr-z as well that Honda has posted on their site later on in the future.

It does look like a nice car, but it's lease only and $600 a month. That price right there pretty much kills any savings you could get from fueling with hydrogen. Just get an older civic for cheap and sell your FA5 if you want to save money. That way you wil no longer have a loan.

I pay over 600 a month including insurance. Plus I would save a lot due to me delivering everyday. I fill up atleast 4 times a week, 30 dollars each time. I pay about 350ish for insurance a month plus 367 a month for note. So yeah I'd be saving a hella lot. I'm 17 so insurance is expensive..

Nice car, impossible to get right now. You'll probably have to wait a few years and see if they go into production, or you could always buy a used insight.

Even if you are there its an expensive lease and priority of choice probably goes to the current FCX owners.
