I just got the Top Gear Awards 2008 issue of their magazine (this is basically a way to sell 13 issues in a year). It also comes with a 2009 Supercars calendar.

At heart, the Clarity is simply an electric car, but there are two fundametal differences between it and the apologetic electric car snotboxes we have been used to. The first is the speed and easw with which it can be refulled... The second is the small matter of power...
But a good electric car is thrilling for other reasons... Powering a car with an electric motor makes complete sense, because it's mechanically very simple. Everything just goes round and round...
In kick starting the debate with the Clarity, Honda may have just produced the car of the century.
