Then I realized I had been thinking about the Sequel, not the Equinox, and was disappointed because Equinox is not what I'd call an attractive vehicle. So no, I wouldn't have wondered when I could get one.

But I do understand the logic in doing an SUV, given that one of the biggest problems with FCV's (as I understand it) is the need to carry huge tanks to have any type of decent range.

And I am elated that GM is getting FCV's on the road. Maybe then, once the difficulty of developing the car is done, people will start thinking about the impracticalities of hydrogen production and stop bringing up FCV's as a panacea.
