Surprised they had to put camo on it...from what I understand its not going to look all that different from the FCX Clarity hydrogen car.  Maybe a bit longer nose since a ICE has to fit in there instead of the hydrogen electric stuff which can all be packed underneath. 

But I guess when it comes down to it...the FCX already had all of the aerodynamics worked out so why reinvent the wheel?

Isn't the FCX larger? This one seems only slightly bigger than a Prius.

Can't be sure....but just eyeballing it...the FCX seems to be similar in size to the Prius.  Of course eyeballing things can be very deceiving as I've found.

I like it.

It looks like from the concept that there is some sort of backlighting to the chrome grill.  If that was standard...that'd be awesome in a high tech sort of way! :)

Honda indicated that it will sell for less than the Prius.  Since the Prius is $21,100 in the US, Honda will be selling a hybrid for close to $20K flat!  Of course, in Honda-land, that means $33K CDN...

Isn't this car really a Honda FCX Clarity with a new engine.

I'm curious to see if the interior is anything like in the FCX.
