Those two are BIG things..
The Clarity is the first ready to go fuel cell car... the electric car that needs no 1000 lb battery and has unlimited range (assuming a hydrogen fueling infrastructure, of course).
The Honda Jet incorporates many new ideas... the location of the engines, the notion of an efficient jet taxi, the high tech cockpit, etc.... and is a push towards making Honda a transportation company.

Well, the Clarity's still from the future as it's not really here yet.
The HondaJet would probably confuse matters; as if their car direction isn't confused enough!

I prefer the ads from Honda UK.... the one that starts with the guy riding the Cub and ends with the Honda Jet taking off is my favorite...
Of course there's the one with the racing machines and the "Dreams" balloon...

My favourite is still 'Cog'. Where they play 'Mousetrap' with the components of an AccordTSX.
And the irritatingly catchy 'Hate something, change something'.
But they were celebrating happier times then. Now they're building a bridge to better days.
I've gone all Joe Bonamassa...

+1 for "Cog" as one of my favorite commercials of all time.
For me too the Clarity is still a future vehicle as maybe only 20 have been leased total.
I would have added the CRV to the lineup of this ad, its one of Hondas few bright spots of the past decade and was an example of Honda innovating and being ahead of most of its competitors.

The only major hurdle keeping the Clarity, or even the FCX before it, from being practical cars RIGHT NOW, is the lack of hydrogen infrastructure in most of the world. The low number of vehicles in customer hands is limited more by the infrastructure issue than by any inherent limitation of the technology.
Unlike BEVs that remain limited by a short range + very long refueling times, and that isn't going to change drastically in the next 10-20 years, unless some miracle in battery chemistry suddenly appears. The ONLY reason BEVs have seen some acceptance among a very small subset of consumers, is that everyone already has electricity available in their homes.
