Maybe it's just how low and streamlined the shape of this car is, but it looks long, really long, and without the perspective of a people
around it, it's hard to say how large it actually is. It's shape is a definitive tear drop for the top profile, which is just about the most aerodynamic shape achievable for a car, (closely behind cars modeled after fish - see automotive news archive for June 9, 2005: DaimlerChrysler to Invest $40 Billion in North America despite Cutbacks by GM and Ford) with rear fender spoilers leading into a back deck that also looks like it might provide some extra down force.
The interior also looks spacious, and pretty spacey, too, like it might be an interior set left over from 2001: A Space
Odyssey. Clean, wide-open surfaces in light colours picked out with organic shapes and optical illusion floor surfaces, featuring cradling chairs and integrated unseen technology.
I also really like the 'living' room that the FCX is parked in front of in one of the press photos, with one chair, a stand-up CD player and stand-up speaker with a shiny reflective floor, bare white walls (the future, where white is the new colour), and a super-panoramic seamless window, outside of which is parked the FCX, right by its home hydrogen-generation refueling station.
So there you have it, a couple of sneak peeks into the future, one near, one farther down the proverbial road, and a taste of dog mobility. It's hardly the end of the world, and I "feel FINE!"
Note: Make sure and check out the photo gallery for many more images.
