Rising fuel costs are getting people drunk on diesel. This year's Los Angeles auto show will see the entrance of Honda's third-generation fuel-cell power train, ensconced in its FCX cab-forward concept car (pictured), which debuted at last year's Tokyo Motor Show. The FCX five-passenger sedan is at present being road-tested in California and other states. According to Honda the car will go into production within three years. A system that Honda dubs the vertical gas flow fuel cell stack delivers more power in less space, and is compact enough to fit into the sedan's center tunnel. The company's efforts to condense infrastructure equipment for hydrogen refueling (including its Home Energy Station), has most likely put Honda well in the pilot in the race to roll out the world's first manufacture hydrogen-fueled car.
