BMW steps on (the hydrogen) gas

It would be so easy to disparage the BMW Hydrogen 7, the world’s first production-ready hydrogen car and a guaranteed showstopper when it’s unveiled next month at the Los Angeles Motor Show.

After all, BMW plans to build only 100 of these vehicles next year. Of those, a mere 25 are headed to the U.S. Even then, only “ideal ambassadors” will be allowed to drive them, a BMW spokesman told CNNMoney last month. And those lucky few might have to pay a monthly fee for the privilege.
