E85 is used in Brazil on Ford and Gm cars with the “flex” motor, which can run both gas and ethanol. E85 doesn’t get as good of mileage but is about a buck a gallon down there.

Hey Patrick: Hydrogen fuel is science fiction at this point. How is it made? How is it transported? Where is the infrastructure for it? In an accident if the car caught fire the ignition of the hydrogen would be devestating. And finally…it’s expensive…real expensive. E85 has its problems, but its at least feasible. So instead of your childish, uninformed posts why don’t you go do a little research? : )

and patrick… E85 is the wave of the near future… hydrogen as a viable fuel for the masses is still at least a decade off…

Isn’t the 9-5 like a 10-year old platform? It’s mediocre at best. At least the 9-3 is based on the heavily updated platform that the Malibu rides on. GM needs to invest in all-new platforms; thos worked wonders with Sigma at cadillac and Kappa at Pontiac/Saturn. The C6 is another good example.

The new BioPower range of the facelifted 9-5 is what has saved it from a total flop.
BioPower 9-5s count for 2/3 of the total sales of the facelifted 9-5.
What an ugly car.
