Another issue is that Hydrogen is very flammable. But this is just my thoughts.Since I live in LA I'll visit auto show to get more information.]]>Nov 14th 2006 7:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/

This car in fact has a 19.5 gallon tank and gets around 20 mpgs.
#6 shut your hole. Japan is not the savior of the world. BMW is european and makes much better cars than Honda, Acura, Lexus, Toyota, Nissan, Infinity or any other Japanese auto company. General Motors in America already has working hydrogen cars and has had major accomplishments in hydrogen technologies. I have never even seen or heard of a Honda hydrogen concept car or heard Honda even knew how to spell hydrogen.]]>Nov 14th 2006 9:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/
Problem is that this is not mass produced car, it is limited car that costs so much that they will lease them to drivers and not sell them.

It has nothing to do with hybrids, since no additional infrastructure was needed and Prius alone sold more than 500,000 copies around the world.

Now imagine Prius costing $500,000, getting 10mpg and having 1 gas station within 1,000 mile radius to fill up with hydrogen, which is actually not zero emissions AND due to sheer power needed to produce it, it actually uses more CO2 than petrol powered vehicles.

So what is it for? It is worse for enviroment, it gets poor performance and poor mpg, and it is ridiciously expensive.

Now show me how this is better than 5x cheaper LS600h which is twice as fast, 50% more economical (when this crap is using petrol) and pollutes less.]]>Nov 14th 2006 9:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/
The implication that the organization as a whole could not figure out how to spell a word says nothing except that you are yet another worthless troll.

What's the difference between ricetrolls and eurotrolls? Nothing, really.]]>Nov 14th 2006 10:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 14th 2006 10:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 14th 2006 10:39PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 14th 2006 11:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 14th 2006 11:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 14th 2006 11:44PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 15th 2006 12:17AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 15th 2006 12:55AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 15th 2006 1:37AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/
Building a hybrid (i am looking at you Japan) really isnt a solution... read: http://www.autobloggreen.com/2006/11/14/toyota-executive-engineer-sees-rising-hybrid-battery-prices-lit/

So when your cars batteries run out and wont charge in 5 years what are you supposed to do... trade them in... good luck! Wheres you mighty Nippon power now? At the dump! If japan wanted to build throw away cars they should make them cheaper!]]>Nov 15th 2006 9:16AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Either way... you don't see this coming from Merc or Audi/VW, do you? They have so much wound up in the deisel bandwagon it makes us sick (literally, Re: #14)
GM and Ford have been making steady progression towards hydrogen power... albeit most of it is fuel cell based.
Kudos BMW - keep making the best cars in the world. ]]>Nov 15th 2006 11:02AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/11/14/driving-the-bmw-hydrogen-7/Nov 15th 2006 12:32PM
