BMW have already done this like 2 years ago, so I dont know why people are making such a big deal about the Honda.

Did you read the whole thing? Did you see this phrase?
"The FCX Clarity is an improvement of its previous-generation fuel cell vehicle, the FCX, introduced in 2005."

So, Honda was ahead of BMW by a year back then, and now leapfrogs technologically again.

I'm sorry DD I didnt even read the article, I just glanced the page. In my opinion I think BMW is better because its just a regular 7 series (which is the ugliest BMW model) but I would take it any day over the Honda.

I agree with the aesthetic argument, but there's more to it than that.

...provided they DON'T use oil and gas to produce the hydrogen, which is still the norm!

Yes, something we call gray energy in Europe - a term Americans have never heard of when I introduce the concept while discussing car sales/purchases.
