But the hydrogen economy is already booming in Europe since 2004 people… Mercedes has a FLEET of hydrogen buses running in multiple European countries. And BMW has had a 7 series that burns pure hydrogen for a while now too. It’s only the US who is always playing catchup to the CULTURED society of Europe.

I made the post above about the Audi.

I can guarantee you $40k is way too low. Look more to 48-50, and more for fully loaded which is likely all you’ll find unless you special order.

Interesting post on the BMW 335d. Just curious – how firm is the predicted base price of $42,000? Does that include any options, or is the price just for the base E90, plus the diesel engine? And, I assume, the required automatic transmission?

If my 2.7T twin turbo V6 Audi can get 25-30mpg then the BMW TT V6 should easily be able to get 38-40. Considering the old Merc E diesel could get 30-33, but cost WAY too much at over 50g.

The new corolla 1.8 liter engine is new, not carry over.
