Modern GM hydrogen fuel cells contain 30 grams of Platinum. That's less than one troy ounce. That's about $1,300 at today's prices.

Why just kill yourself, when you can kill someone else too. -Hummer]]>Sep 15th 2009 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/We have many cars in Europe, and many are small. On top of this many are GOOD, only a few aren't. It's arrogant Americans like you (who, i hope, are far in the minority) who still cling on to the 'bigger is better' idea, while failing to see that nearly all the cars sold by US manufacturers are shite and that's the reason that while European and Japanese car companies post losses or a reduction in profit the entire US motor industry seems to collapse.
And as for 'little deathtraps toys', it's just stupid to think small = dangerous as it is to think big = safe. In Europe we have the NCAP rating system for crash protection, from 1 (bloody awful) to 5 (Excellent), and as I look down the listings in a car magazines looking for Small cars such as the above I see ratings of 5 star, 4-star, 4-star, 4-star, 4-star, 4-star, 4-star, 4-star, 4-star, 5-star, 5-star, 5-star, 5-star, 4-star, 4-star, 4-star, 5-star, 5-star. So safety is not an issue. They are hardly death traps. However, i look at the Chevrolet Aveo and find... 1 and a half stars. And that car is bigger than this one.]]>Sep 15th 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/Sep 16th 2009 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/I'm not disagreeing with you.. I have a compact Japanese car and love it (and haven't owned an american-company POS in years) but pointing at the Aveo is wrong. It's made by Daewoo [a company] that Chevy bought. It's an Asian-made car.]]>Sep 15th 2009 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/Sep 15th 2009 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/
They are not "assholes" because the cares are expensive. This is new technology on new platforms using new manufacturing techniques used to build a new generation of cars. Of course it is going to be expensive. This is not the manufacturers trying to screw their customers. Most manufacturers will make little if any money (and often lose money) on the first iterations of these vehicles, but they must run this risk in order to develop this new generation of vehicles.

It is similar to what happened with the early generations of computers, flat screen tvs, and other products. The first ones were high priced. Early adopters bought them because they needed or wanted them. That helped pay for the research and improvements that resulted in much cheaper versions later on. This pattern repeats its self time and again around you.

PLUS, one actually has to be built first. This is just a 'concept' car. That means it probably doesn't really work. ]]>Sep 15th 2009 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/Sep 15th 2009 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/
I could not reply above ( engadget sort it) ...

I am not sure where you got these figures, they are hard to get by and I am not sure which ones are real and which ones are fantasy.
However if I have to trust some figures published in 2007 it seems that to power a FCX Clarity ( 2009 ) you will need £ 3000 worth of Pt.
Also pt-free FC are said to become a reality in the immediate future.]]>Sep 15th 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/Sep 15th 2009 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/Sep 16th 2009 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/volkswagen-e-up-concept-rolls-into-frankfurt-hits-the-road-in/
