Who knows what they used to base their estimate - 55mph on the highway? :-).
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.
