I found this picture from Honda website about their first hydrogen car lease for $600/mo for 3 years. I wish BMW start to import their hydro7, 5, 3, 1 sooner! I cannot wait to breath fresh air.

Better idea in terms of environmental impact. But not if you are craving high performance... at least not yet~

Not yet being the key phrase. With further development, I'm sure the performance of hydrogen powered cars will start to improve. ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

Not entirely true, the BMW hydro-7 uses the same V8 engine. It should runs the same as gasoline.

The future holds potential for hydrogen. More so than hybrid and definitely more than diesel. But not yet...

Interesting tidbit:
" -253 degree temperature in the onboard tank leads to at least one catchy factoid: The tank's thermal insulation is so astoundingly good that BMW calculates a block of ice inside it would take 13 years to melt. "
Wow
