Hyundai i-Blue Fuel Cell Car To Have North American Debut At Chicago Auto Show

We have confirmation from Hyundai that they'll be premiering the Hyundai i-Blue fuel cell concept at the Chicago Auto Show. This is the North American debut as the company already showed this particular concept in Frankfurt last year. What's interesting is that the company has promised to have a production ready version by 2012, but we just assumed that was for the Korean domestic market. Does mean that the company is planning on bringing it here? Or was it just a matter of not wanting to waste a perfectly good concept car? Only time will tell.

Its name could be one of Tobias Fünke's malaprops on Arrested Development, but Hyundai's i-Blue concept may be a reality as early as next decade. Hyundai bosses say the company's first fuel-cell car is on target for 2012, and will use technology demonstrated in the i-Blue at this year's Frankfurt show. The production model is expected to be a crossover SUV. No word whether it'll be a hit among Families with Low Self Esteem. [AutoExpress]

Our friends from down under at Motor Authority have the scoop on what looks to be a concept car Hyundai's planning on officially revealing at the Frankfurt Auto Show in a couple of weeks. It's called the i-Blue and it's apparently a hydrogen powered concept crossover that's supposedly also using Hyundai's new third-gen fuel cell tech. Huh...we didn't even know about the first two.
