    To me the Clarity is a great looking car!

    I think he is lying. You cant get a clarity that cheap.

    I just got my first oil change at the dealership. I think the salesmen got tired of hearing me brag about the clarity. When i opened the hood to check thier work i started noticing the many little things honda did to reduce weight. The 12v battery is the smallest i have ever seen in a car. And even the radiator cap is very tiny. They managed to cram a gas, and a large electric motor under that hood. An amazing feat of engineering.
    All the comments i have recieved about the looks of my car are very positive.

    My daughter finally met my new Clarity and says it looks like a super villain, one with no redeeming sympathetic backstory. She is now banned, but my granddaughter and I like it.

    My feeling about cars is that if they move when you put them in drive then they look just fine.

    What could be more sympathetic than reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources in an effort to save the Earth's ecosystems?

    Some folks here saw it advertised on TV at the 2018 Super Bowl or something like that. I saw it at the LA Auto Show 2019 and it was enough to hook me up. Besides some YouTube videos, there's no Honda advertising for Clarity whatsoever.

    Being a big fan of Honda cars, I frequent the Temple of VTEC website. I paid close attention to that site after rumors surfaced in 2016 that Electric and Plug-In Hybrid variants of the Clarity Fuel Cell were in the works. I immediately told my dealer I wanted a Plug-In Hybrid, but you know dealers: if it isn't on the lot, they're not interested. However, when the car became a reality, they did the right thing and added a few Level 2 EVSEs that customers could use. The mechanic who always worked on my Insights learned all about the Clarity, too.

    Initially, I didn't think the Clarity Fuel Cell was very good looking, but I like the small changes Honda made to the Fuel Cell's exterior for the PHEV. Our Clarity's looks have really grown on me. Perhaps if I didn't like driving it so much, I wouldn't like the way it looks.
