With Honda show cars, it's the technology they are showing that is important. We can forgive them for appearance and names. I mean come on "Space Hub" is kind of 1960s

Jonathan Sounded interesting, until I got to the all electric part. No thanks.
Paul Alexander These comments represent a great cross section of what counts for political discussion in this country: either dunking on Kool-Aid drinking Biden (or whatever else Democratic politician), or in a mirrorlike fashion, dunking on Kool-Aid drinking Trump supporters (or whatever else Republican politician). My worthless opinion? They all represent elite interests, which run counter to everyone in this comment section's interests, regardless of the crumbs they may kick down occasionally.
Duties Imagine we lived in a world where all cars were EV's. And then along comes a new invention: the Internal Combustion Engine.Think how well they would sell. A vehicle HALF the weight, HALF the price that would cause only a quarter of the damage to the road. A vehicle that could be refueled in 1/10th the time, with a range of 4 times the distance in all weather conditions. One that does not rely on the environmentally damaging use of non-renewable rare earth elements to power it, and uses far less steel and other materials. A vehicle that could carry and tow far heavier loads. And is less likely to explode in your garage in the middle of the night and burn down your house with you in it. And ran on an energy source that is readily extracted with hundreds of years known supply.Just think how excited people would be for such technology. It would sell like hot cakes, with no tax credits! Whaddaya think? I'd buy one.
MrIcky Objectively, Biden clearly isn't the worst president ever based on straight metrics - some of you are rolling around in your hysteria too much and you're wearing rose colored glasses for Trump.It's not the worst economy: Very low unemployment with rising wages- that may or may not last but it's what is right now.Both stocks AND bonds are performing well, which is fairly rare.Inflation is relatively high for the last 20 years at 3.4% as of 5/15 but beats the 50 year average of 3.8%Not a Biden fan, but logic vs yelling at clouds and pearl clutching that immigrants are going to eat your babies.***objectively, btw- it would be very hard to beat Carter for worst for the last 60 years.
Daniel Bridger When Biden yells "jump" and CEOs ask how high? No common sense anymore.
