“testing”? They’ve already leased (or donated, I don’t remember) a small fleet of dual-fuel hydrogen/gas RX-8s to japanese police –like a year or two ago.

Now a hydrogen powered rotary car is something I am looking for. Honda has a hydrogen halo car and now Mazda. I would expect Toyota to be next. Unfortunately the only stations that I know of is in California.
