Next Gen BMW 7 Series Spy Photos

I agree, a hybrid car is not better for the environment, the chemicals that are used to make batteries are very detrimental and often extreamly toxic. Even though a hybrid car will reduce fuel consumption, the price of replacing the battery would probably equate to just constantly using petrol or diesel. I think that the Hydrogen engine is the best for the environment (if thats what you are looking to achieve) because the only emmisions the car creates are water. I'm not sue what fuel consumtion is like on a hydrogen car though, this may be the limiting factor in their design, for now. I think hydrogen is the way to go for future vehicles.

Life cycle assesment or well-to-wheel point of view, hydrogen power is not the ultimate solution. Because the system needs huge amount of money for infrastracture for filling as well as tanks to carry hydrogen. Also, creating hydrogen requires energy that emit Co2. Current NiH batteries last same as car life and the next generation Li-ion batteries last even longer. So I believe that hydrogen fueled fuel-cell or reciprocated engines are deffinitely not the solutions for clean environment. Plug-in EV is the best performer for the next generation vehicles even as prestigeous cars like 7-series. HCCI or Dieselotto hybrid suggested by Mercedes would be one of the strong candidates for the bridge between internal combustion engines and pure EVs.

I have to disagree, hybrid cars are still overall less damaging to the enviornment than typical cars. Don't forget that we can recycle these batteries. Hydrogen car technology is still far away. Right now they should cost hundreds of thousands of dollars if they are out, which is out of our range. Furthermore don't forget our American troops and hundreds of thousand of Iraqis who passed away for our attempt to get some "oil" for our thirsty American citizens who lust to drive giant gas guzzling SUVs and trucks. Don't forget that we are the biggest oil guzzling country in the world by far.

silversedanman, you are obviously poorly misinformed about Japanese cars. The LS600 HL would probably slaughter the BMW Hydrogen 7 in reliability first of all. And the Hydrogen 7 is powered by an alternating Internal combustion engine with a Hydrogen Fuel Cell. The LS 600HL is just a battery cell and i would much rather be in one in case of a car accident; the 7 series would blow up if Rear ended. In the LS, what do you have to worry about besides a small battery leakage. And who are you to say that the battery has to be replaced every couple of years. The LS has a V8 engine that's powered by an electric motor. Not to mention BMW's Horrendously cheap and plasticky interior, in comparison to the Ambient luxurious interior of the LS. And by the way, the LS is not 'little'. Watch what you say and get your facts straight idiot.

abu-fahd you're completely wrong about bmw . bmw it's not built yesterday to say that's need more 10 years to match up S-class Brother abu-fahd my name is abdullah if u want to talk to me about bmw please add me (bmw-individual@hotmail.com)

Thank You! Way to pricey a piece for a 7 series! Thesew are low production engines. This isnt AMG!

and who are you to make such judgements
