Jalopnik: GM Killing Hummer H2 After 2011 - Page 12

benroethig · 03-13-2008, 10:17 AM

I'd take it one step further and kill off the hummer brand. The H3 would be replaced by a new Blazer/Jimmy combo available in 2 and 4 door open top to go up against the Wrangler series and a traditional 4-door closed top variety. There would also be a new off road package that goes above and beyond Z71 similar the Rubicon introduced across the GM truck line.

I am wondering how the current version will evolve, will be interesting

That'll be easy since there are a boatload of dealers with brand-new state-of-the-art facilities.

Hummer has a place, it just needs to evolve.

I agree with that, Hummer still sells in decent numbers, just need to change their image as a maker of huge fuel inefficient vehicles

Or just Incredible Off Road vehicles that are street legal and get good fuel economy.

That is what I meant, that is why I am happy that the H2 is getting the 4.5 liter V8 diesel

Sorry. It was your usage of the word huge that scares me. That is why I would love from them to produce a Jeep like vehicle. Small and light but kick *** off-road.

I personally love large vehicles, but we all remember those people who set some Hummer's on fire and that eco-groups hate the vehicle with a passion. I am hoping the HX stays true to the concept, and maybe get a 4 door version and a diesel engine

I have no problem large vehicles either. But I think Hummer needs to have a smaller vehicle to break some of the bad press.

The HX will be Wrangler sized, and I am sure the H2 will evolve in some way to be lighter and more efficient without losing what makes it what it is

Too much is in the HUMMER name to kill the lineup. The H2 will fade. However the HUMMER H# has a long and prosperous way to go. With extra care in engineering...
Lots of $$$ to me made in the 4x4 world with some good transmissions and engines.

Hi!

It's not an early April fool's day joke, nor?
Will HUMMER only build lady cars then?
I got one more question to you as you are a journalist: Do you know any good HUMMER books?
I just got one huge (17 x25 inches) HUMMER H2 book here in Austria. You can find it at www.h2book.com

Cheers!

Otto

They should use the Theata platform to make an efficient Hummer.
