Toyota Mirai - Hydrogen powered car

I searched a bit, and found nothing and was surprised.

Has anybody seen this car yet?

2016 Toyota Mirai. $57,000 hydrogen powered car. Thoughts?

Toyota is going all in on Hydrogen. That's saying something considering Toyota is currently the world leader on Hybrids. I wouldn't buy a Mirai, but will not be surprised when 90% of cars sold in 2030 will be running on dat 'dro
