Van Sun says Ballard cars zippy

The Vancouver Sun reports in a front page story in its Friday edition that
Ballard Power Systems' fuel cell cars whine, not roar, but otherwise they
are just cars. Reporter William Boei says that 40 journalists, including 15
from other Canadian cities and a couple from the United States, showed up
Thursday at Ballard's headquarters to kick the tires of the new cars, stare
intently into their tightly packed engine compartments and take them for a
spin. The two cars tested were the P2000, Ford Motor's prototype fuel cell
passenger sedan, and DaimlerChrysler's compact Necar 4. Other than the
unfamiliar sound effects, driving a fuel cell car is much like driving any
other car. Flooring the pedal did not make the tires squeal, but both cars
accelerated at a zippy pace, somewhat less energetic than a vintage MGB and
a bit more perky than a Ford Escort. Ballard president Firoz Rasul was
perfectly happy to hear that driving the cars was an unremarkable
experience.
