Auto enthusiasts everywhere panted at the sight of GM’s latest unveiling, the first car to be showcased at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, the Cadillac Provoq.

And it’s not hard to tell why. This luxury crossover is packed with techie-(and environmentally-friendly)goodness.

* hydrogen fuel cells
* solar panel rooftop
* plug-ins to feed the lithium-ion batteries to the left and right
* special vents in the grill that can open up to create a more aerodynamic experience

People are really excited by this new car. The only question left is whether or not GM will go on to produce one. Hopefully that answer is yes, but with hydrogen fueling stations few and far between. The Equinox will be tested soon in Southern Cal markets, where the Honda Clarity FCX will be leased starting Summer 2009. How long will it take for this new trend in alternative auto technology to catch on, and what will it mean to the burgeoning ethanol plants Midwestern states have invested so much in?
