Mazda delivered Hydrogen powered RX8's recently to fleet customers, beating BMW to the punch with their upcoming 7 series Hydrogen units. Hyrdrogen Internal Combustion Engines aren't really that much of a break through, they've been around a few years. And their sale to Fleet customers is a great way to keep Hydrogen in the spotlight, but there is not enough develpoment on production and distribution of the fuel at thsi point.
So while I like the idea that someone is getting to drive this great car, I'm left with more questions. Why an RX8? Why not a more usefull vehicle like a Mazda 3 or 6? And what good are the vehicles without the fuel?
Every move towards eliminating our dependance on foreign oil and cleaning our environment is worth mentioning, but it's difficult for me to get too excited at this point.
