$57,500 will make you the owner of the first fuel cell vehicle to actually go on sale in the United States next year

The +TOYOTA  Mirai will be the first first fuel cell vehicle available for consumers to buy rather than just lease like the +Honda FCX Clarity or +Hyundai USA Tucson FCV. With the incentives available to zero-emissions vehicles, the net price drops into mid to upper $40K range.

* +Audi USA is apparently going to reveal a concept version of the A7 with a fuel cell plug-in hybrid powertrain at the LA Auto Show today*

Cool idea, but definitely, not the first time it's been done. +***** actually had a prototype of an extended range EV with a fuel cell running in late 2006, a couple of months before Chevrolet revealed the original Volt concept. I had a chance to drive the HySeries Edge concept in February 2007. ?

2015 Chevy Silverado LTZ 18

Watching the evolution of the American pickup truck over the past 25 years has been a fascinating experience. Some time I recently spent with a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado demonstrated clearly just how far these most utilitarian of vehicles have come.

When I got started in the auto industry as an engineering student in the late 1980s, technology and trucks were two words that simply didn’t go together. Also not part of the truck equation were driving dynamics, braking performance, refinement or any kind of sophistication.

We don't actually have a free market for internet services in America and other companies worried about that

Republicans that like to promote a laissez faire approach to regulation of business is ok if you have enough competitors and sufficiently low friction to ensure a truly free market. Unfortunately in many segments of business today, no such free market actually exists. That's why a bunch of big companies that either currently do or will potentially depend on free communications for their business are pushing to ensure that the Comcasts and Verizons cannot artificially manipulate the broadband market. ?
