wm here is a couple articles on new cars and one by Honda that runs on hydrogen for the usa next year, for lrase and for Cali only. Chevy did this on an ev car in the 80's or 90's for only Cali by lease and then Chevy recalled them and the public was furious. The public clamed they was bought out by big oil but it was a few other theories also why they recalled them. It was a big stink because they did love those ev cars. A good film to buy or rent and watch is called, "who killed the electric car".

Hydrogen-powered Honda to debut in California next year
Honda will introduce a state-of-the-art hydrogen-powered car in the United States next year, offering a glimpse of the next generation of environmentally friendly vehicles, officials said Wednesday.
Speaking at the LA Auto Show, the Japanese auto giant said they planned to offer the zero-emissions FCX Clarity to customers on a limited long-term lease basis for a cost of around 600 dollars a month.
The expense of fuel cell technology means Honda is still a long way from putting the car into mass production, but its debut represented the "significant progress" in developing the cars for real world use.
"The FCX Clarity is a shining symbol of the progress we've made with fuel cell vehicles and of our belief in the promise of this technology," said American Honda chief executive Tetsuo Iwamura.
"We are working to overcome obstacles to the mass-market potential of zero emissions hydrogen fuel cell automobiles," Iwamura added.
The Clarity's only emission is water, Honda said.
Honda did not reveal the number of cars which will be made available via the lease program or actual cost of each unit.

Cadillac shows its big hybrid Escalade SUV during a two-day media preview of the Los Angeles Auto Show, first major North American car show of the season, on 14 November 2007 in Los Angeles, California.
Go here and on the left click on the LA auto show video and starting next year Ford, GM and all the foreign car companies are going to really roll off hybrid cars for us. I think this is good.
