It's Good to Be the Prince

Princealbert

We’ve seen celebrities like Brad Pitt drive the new BMW Hydrogen 7 to Hollywood shindigs, but now BMW is loaning one of the 100 test vehicles to Prince Albert II of Monaco for an extended loan. The prince claims to be into cars, and while he can afford probably anything on the market, there’s no way to buy a Hydrogen 7 quite yet.

Also interesting was BMW letting loose the names of other celebs who are “using” the Hydrogen 7. They include Cameron Diaz, Will Ferrell, Jay Leno, Placido Domingo and various foreign politicians. BMW doesn’t say how long the loan is for, but the Prince mentioned “weeks” of testing.

Next time, please provide a brief description/blurb on who you are mentioning. I had to Google “Prince of Monaco” just to see which one of the two is the Prince. No Offense to the Prince, but its hard recognize who’s who nowadays if they’re not often mentioned in the news. Thank you.
