Looks like it was too good to be true. It looks more like a PR campaign. I check wikipedia. It looks good, because it can use gas and hydrogen (not fuel cells like other cars), but...
There is doubt, however, over whether or not this automobile will ever be put into larger production, even if hydrogen fuel technology reaches the point of economical and ggreenh feasibility, as well as to have the infrastructure required to put hydrogen vehicles in demand. The Hydrogen 7 uses more fuel than many trucks (it gets only 16.9 mpg for gasoline on the highway) and is not as green as it may seem.[3] It will also only be more expensive than its sister the 760Li (no retail price has been announced), which is BMWfs biggest and most expensive sedan, with a base price tag of over $118,000, thus further diminishing its widespread appeal. As of November, 2006 there were only five filling stations in the entire world that supported BMWfs filling technology, furthering the obstacles of making this car worthwhile.[/list:u]
So basically, you drive something that consume like a Hummer, but can say to everybody you have a green car. :sweat: At least they are going in the right direction. With the price of oil breaking records everyday, more and more manufacturers will go with hydrogen or hybrids. It should brings down the cost, so we just have to get used to putting 100$ in the car, in the mean time. :grumble:
