Naturally we were excited about this and knew that it was a wise move on BMW’s part. After all the V12 engine has a 30 gallon tank and the -253° Centigrade liquid hydrogen will hold up for 125 miles. The other tank was designed to hole 19.5 gallons of gasoline – which can last up to 310 miles.
Honda is proud to be receiving the 51st International Red Dot Award for the quality design of Europe’s Accord Tourer.

The S2000 won the award back in 2001 and the Civic won the award in 2006.
