whatever happened to hydrogen fuel cell cars?

[kpappletech]

Woah. I need to pre order one of those.

For one thing, hydrogen cars would require a whole new infrastructure to deliver hydrogen to vehicles...we already have the electric grid everywhere, so it far easier to go electric.

[WillMasterke]

Yeah take that stupid fuel cell!! :D

Using electricity to make hydrogen molecules is just ridiculous, use it for electric vehicles I say! :D

@arthurandroid too bad that Americans have the bang for buck phylosophy, combined with designing a car according to its niche fit within range, rather than giving the customer the best car that they can, like Nissan with the GTR, pretty much there was no bang for buck involved and they presented the best they had in every aspect, if BMW did the same, same goes for Tron-like design mercs, Citroen and Kia will be the new electric era leaders.

[arthurandroid]

@crazyfast39 Not much. HFC's were a bit of a distraction, I'm afraid.

[arthurandroid]

@chrispou Those are coming. Remember that it costs a lot of money to develop a brand new design. When BMW goes into full scale public production you can be assured that it will have an updated design. At the moment it's a matter of where you will get most bang for your R&D buck.

Very good solution for the elecric vehicle, however, needs to be an all-new car, not interesting to buy the old model (and least attractive BMW in history) with the new power concept, look at Kia, Joule, Honda, etc. for example

don't you mean "gentleman", you little shit taco?

[ipbalkenende]

Wow quoting a B-action flick there, Steven Seagal... Impressive! You truly are a gentlemen and a scholar!

I know Spain doesn't consider itself communist numbnuts. I don't consider it communist either (social democratic would be the closest). It's just that people who talk about "liberal retards" definitely DO consider Spain communist and then some. So it's kind of weird to see you being so defensive about it. US liberals are more right wing when it comes to economics than euros.

[gasfgiop]

well, you assumed wrong. assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups, and you're one too. you don't know the slightest thing about Spain, there's no way in hell Spain considers itself communist, if anything it's a profoundly anti-communist country. balkenende does ring a bell though... haha, your country's being run by harry potter! go blow your dad, you turd bucket.
