It's unfortunately not the F800 Style "research vehicle" the company
is working on, but those looking to avoid a hybrid or all-electric
vehicle in favor of fuel cell technology can now place an order for
Mercedes-Benz's new B-Class F-Cell vehicle. Those orders actually
first opened up in October, but the automaker has only just recently
revealed the actual cost to customers. That will be $849 a month on a
lease-only basis, which may seem a tad high but does include both fuel
and insurance (alright, so it's still high). As you might expect,
however, the car won't exactly be widely available -- Mercedes-Benz
says the first few will reach "selected" customers by the end of this
year, with "at least 70 more" set to become available in the Los
Angeles and San Francisco area by 2012. Full press release is after
the break.
