One of Toyota’s <http://www.greencarreports.com/make/toyota,new > more distinctive vehicles on display at last month's Detroit Auto Show was the FCV-R fuel-cell concept <http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1071587_toyota-fcv-r-concept-hydrogen-fuel-cell-vehicle-in-detroit-photo-gallery >.

Joining electric, plug-in hybrids and regular hybrids on Toyota's green car roster, the forward-thinking Japanese automaker is clearly keen to explore every avenue.

Toyota has released what it calls a "tranquil and harmonic" video to illustrate the benefits of its FCV-R.

There's not a lot of actual car until near the end of the video, instead focusing on the environmental relationship of oxygen, hydrogen, and water when the two combine. And manta rays, which may or may not have been an inspiration for some of the FCV-R's internal and external styling cues.

Be prepared--it's longer than your standard 30-second ad.

The reason this ad is worth looking at is that it is so different than the cliche car ad. The cliche car ad, which realllllllly gets on my nerves but then that's another post another thread--has loud, driving music with a male driver blasting down the road or up a mountain in his super-powerful automobile.

This ad is way, way different. Very unique visuals, music.
