Mitsubishi Colt 1.3 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 04 January 2009 20:50

GM HydroGen4 green CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Oliver, 11 December 2008 15:30

General Motor’s new HydroGen4 is the latest proof that fuel-cell cars are advancing at an astonishing rate; trouble is, they have so far to go. Hydrogen-powered cars are still light years away from being affordable and practical, but this one comes closer to looking, working and driving like a conventional car than any we’ve yet driven.
