Waste of time, there's no infrastructure to support hydrogen power cars. How much would cost be compared to gas? They will have to work out the details. I think hybrid technology should be used in the 8 for city driving. Probably more economical than hydrogen but who knows?

I agree with roaddemon. The size of a hydrogen molecule makes it such a hassle to contain as well as it's explosiveness. There needs to be much more done to improve infrastructure before mass production of vehicles that run on hydrogen start.
