GM to unveil hydrogen-electric Cadillac model
1/8/08

DETROIT - General Motors Corp. will unveil a hydrogen fuel-cell-powered Cadillac crossover concept vehicle at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
GM envisions the five-passenger Provoq going 300 miles on a single fill-up of hydrogen, getting 280 miles from hydrogen power and 20 miles from batteries.
It would go from zero to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds and have a top speed of 100 mph.

The aerodynamic Provoq’s hydrogen fuel cell would charge lithium-ion batteries to power one electric motor for the front wheels and another for the rear.
The vehicle could also be the basis of a replacement for the SRX, a larger crossover vehicle powered by V-8 and V-6 engines, Cadillac officials said.
The Provoq has a solar panel in its roof to power accessories such as the interior lights and audio system, the company said.
“All the people- and cargo-carrying capability customers expect in crossovers and SUVs is available in the Provoq, along with the premium attributes expected in a Cadillac,” Ed Welburn, GM’s vice president of global design, said in a statement.
No date has been set to bring the Provoq to showrooms, nor has pricing been discussed, the company said.

i remain unimpressed;


i think the problem is GM lacks balls.

Did you ever notice that things started to go downhill just as they introduced FWD unibody cars into the lineup and eventually made them the mainstay of the majority of offerings?


As controversial as people like John DeLorean and Jim Wangers were, they were men. They took GM in a good direction and were not afraid to do so. The zygotes that are "running" GM today are wussies.

As wierd as these cars may look, you cannot tell me that the current offerings look better including the above cadillac hybrid atrocity:
