Because Joe Average can't afford to fill it up, even if the car is free.

Sourced from the web, and those prices were in 2006. Not only is it many times the price to run compared to a standard model, but you need the mobile tanker truck that they are stationing in your neighbourhood just to fill it up every 120 miles. I suspect the tanker truck doesn't run on hydrogen.....
What a crock. If we want to move to hydrogen, let's just go straight to fuel cells and skip the IC nonsense. Also, let's not make hydrogen out of fossil fuels, and somehow pretend that these cars are clean.
Just my $0.02
