My Ride: 335i Sedan
I don't see this as a bad thing, if every company develops it's own version, it will make it harder to fully implement as all of them might have different of achieving the same solution. As the good old saying goes "2 heads are better than 1" but then also, "Too many cooks spoil the broth", we can just hope the solution falls somewhere in between the 2 statements, lol.

Knock GM if you must, but they currently have a fleet of hydrogen vehicles in Washington DC for testing. I know this article was about hybrids but they've got some skills in alternative powerplants.

[/quote]Not my meaning to knock GM, but any "outside" engine would misfit a Bimmer! It's the charasteristic sound I beleive... (One "vintage" BMW V12 was used in Rolls Royce, but it was reprogrammed in order *not* to give that wonderful sound).

[/quote]Yeah, I'm not so sure the sound of future vehicles is going to be anything to write home about unfortunately.
