TCC Drives the H3

**TaHoE** · 05-23-2005, 02:23 PM

The Car Connection Drives the 2006 Hummer H3:

GM's HUMMER division is at its tipping point. Will it be sidelined into history because of its in-your-face military connotations? Or will the addition of a smaller, kinder, and somewhat gentler HUMMER give it the legs to become a permanent member of the General Motors hierarchy?

What, you thought we'd answer all those questions in 1000 words or less?

What we can tell you is that the new H3, regardless of how well it sells, is authentically a HUMMER. It can go to places off-road that only endangered species occupy. It can weave its way through city traffic more deftly than anything this capable has a right to. And with a base price of less than $30,000, it's strikingly affordable for the image it brings with it. After all, when was the last time you saw an Explorer or a Grand Cherokee delivering supplies to Tikrit?

They really seemed to like it. More good news for GM is that this will probably be a hit.

It's really looking great for the H3, great job GM!

Fantastic styling, reasonable size, serious off roading, attractive interiors, very respectable fuel economy, reasonable price...

The only thing missing is performance. And even then, the performance is acceptable and nobody would try a 5 second 0-60 mph on the Yukon Trail anyway.

Spectacular.

Those are almost KNEE SOCKS(!), you guys.

Yea, that pic is hilarious.

Maybe he was going to sell some Samoas and Thin Mints later that day?
