New Hummer to become H4

[RuggedH2]

GM finally released some sketches of the HX project scheduled to become the H4. Being a double Hummer owner I have been waiting for this one.

The new Hummer is aimed at the Jeep JK, although I think it will still be IFS so as far as rock crawling goes.......disadvantaged.

Competition is good for consumers and it might serve to make both vehicles better.

An interesting part of the new Hummer is:

“The HX offers an open-air driving experience via a pair of removable roof panels above the driver and front passenger and a modular, removable rear roof assembly enabling a quick conversion from closed vehicle to open vehicle SUT. It also features a slant back assembly removable doors and fender flairs.”

It looks like a cross between a Hummer and an FJ40.

 

[Spork]

Don't like the slant back.




Cough, lifted pinto

Sketches came out to announce the vehicle will be shown at the Detroit Auto Show.

The vehicle is being called the 2010 H4.

Speculation is that it will have a diesel.

diesel is cool, but I doubt it will happen.

It's a total knockoff of the Scout III prototype that never went into production. 30 years later, and they all still chase IH.

 

[Cody]

ya, IH sold so well they can hardly produce them fast enough for demand.

And everybody gives Brett a hard time about smoking the cheap stuff...

 

[Skylinerider]

Hmmmm.

 

[scoutabout]

It's a well known fact that the quality of the product wasn't the issue, the problem was marketing and distribution. The company tried to grow too quickly, and it resulted in a top heavy sales channel with too many dealerships for the amount of product available.

 

[Cody]

ahhh, gotta love brand smugness err I mean loyalty.

 

[Brad]

Horrendous

 

[Herzog]

I think it looks better than the others.

 

[ID Bronco]

I doubt it will have good visibility, but it could grow on me. I could be persuaded to like it.

 

[Exalted 4x4]

I bet 95% of them will be at the mall.

Like every other SUV?
