Actually it is. Its nothing "alternative" but would be the perfect "stop gap" technology. AND more fun to drive than a petrol engine with a simliar cylinder capacity and/or BHP.

I don't know about the last part,I certainly wouldn't throw a 165bhp diesel engine in my car and expect it to rev anywhere near as quickly or nimbly and gearing wouldn't make up for the sluggishness.

Hydrogen is the perfect stop gap,there shouldn't be any argument with that,but to each their own idea I geuss.
