The catch seems to be that you must live in a specific Zip code near a dealership that will service these vehicles. I think you will be actually testing them. They aren't selling them at any point. So, you will never own this car. You are only in a close ended lease with Hyundai. So, you are mostly like a paid for test driver of these vehicles while they work out the bugs I think. However, I would love to try one of these things. I think it would be great. I'm not sure this is a hydrogen hybrid or not yet and I haven't researched the technology enough to know that for sure yet.
Later: after more research this is what Wikipedia says about this vehicle:
Tucson ix hydrogen fuel cell vehicle- This vehicle uses a lithium-ion polymer battery and fuel cells to power the vehicle. Hyundai claims the vehicle can achieve a top speed of 130 km/h and can go about 140 km per charge. So, this means you have a zero emission vehicle whose power is generated primarily from fuel cells (pretty amazing).
