Chicago 2008 video: Hyundai brings the i-Blue to North America

One of the North American debuts at the Chicago Auto Show was the Hyundai i-Blue concept car and, as you can see in the video above (I hope), this thing looks a lot better in person than in the pictures we'd seen from the car's real introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show last fall. The facts behind the hydrogen-powered fuel cell cal are that same as back then: Hyundai's third-gen fuel cell stack sits under the center of the floor and a 10,000 psi storage tank holds 115L of compressed hydrogen. All these components give Hyundai's first dedicated fuel cell vehicle a range of 370 miles. While nothing on the car has changed, we're glad to change our opinion of it based on a little face time.
