Here comes the H4. get your heeps paid off cause their is one you can afford on the way:grinpimp:
Hummer dealers from around the nation recently gathered in California to attend the annual Hummer All-Dealer meeting. The meeting showcases upcoming products such as the Hummer H3 Alpha and the upgraded 2008 Hummer H2, as well longer term concepts like the H3T and HX. HX is the name Hummer has given to the most heavily rumored concept vehicle which will be designed to compete with the Jeep Wrangler – some are calling it the H4. Whatever name you want to call it, it’s coming. Martin Walsh, Hummer’s General Manager, used the meeting to officially announce that the HX will be available at dealerships in 2010 as a 2011 model, and is no longer just a concept vehicle. Walsh went one step further, but opening a curtain revealing the HX to the lucky few at the meeting. GM reps were on hand to make sure attendees wouldn’t even remove cell phones, which may have picture capabilities, from their pocket. However, we’ve got a pretty good description.
The first impression of the two door and four seating HX is unmistakably a Hummer. This is mainly due to the design of the front, incorporating similar grille, headlights, and bumper designs from previous Hummer models. The high metal to glass ratio, and design of the doors also kept Hummer’s iconic design. Overall, the vehicle was much shorter in overall height and wheelbase and appeared more car-like than its larger counterparts. The model shown had very large, aggressive tires, which may or may not be standard (most likely not). Some of the most unique abilities of the Hummer HX are the removable panels. The two doors are completely removable, as well are panels on the roof. The model on display had everything intact, so it would be hard to tell what kind of open air feeling the removable panels give you – and whether it feels more like a convertible or a T-top. Also removable are the fender flares, which can be taken off to lessen the likelihood of damage during off-roading. The rear of the HX will have an optional slant back, similar to the original Humvee option. “The vehicle almost looked like an enclosed dune buggy with big aggressive tires and exposed shocks,” said one attendee, “And it didn’t have a cheap, flimsy-looking exterior like a Wrangler.”
The Hummer HX will be the 5th vehicle in Hummer’s lineup, since the fourth vehicle, the H3T will be making its debut at dealerships in the Summer of 08. Unfortunately, we have another three years to see the Hummer HX (H4?) produced.

Don’t you wish that you have paparazzi as a friend after you give us that information about new Hummer .I was digging on the net and find out this… enjoy it…

I know...what can I do?..now I have to finish it...anyway guys at our forum find out some more...

I hope that it is a beast,causing other companys(Jeep,Toyota,etc..)to push the envelope.The bad thing is,i cant see GM putting in a solid axle up front.Not that you couldnt put one in but its always easier when it comes from the factory.Im a Jeep guy but i know how annoying it will be for Hummer owners hear people call their h4s jeeps.

I thought i heard the H4 is off the theta platform so look for a no or small frame with independant front and a solid rear. They all say it has to meet the Hummer brand standards unlike the Jeep Compass but we will see. With test tracks in place it will at leat meet H3 off road specs which for the money are very good.

What other vehicles are built off the "theta " platform?

I have physically seen the H4 and so far, no one has posted a photo that comes close.:smokin: No, I won't say what it looks like but honestly, I have seen it.

In addition, just because a vehicle is off another line or produced in the same factory, does not mean it will not be different. Look at the extra cross members and boxed front/rear ends and the axles, t/case on the H3 vs. the Colorado/Canyon.

thanks 5 , i hope we get a spy shot soon :laughing::laughing:

What NEO said xBrazillion!!! :smokin:

GM is getting real good and re woking current parts and products for the hummer line to keep it affordable to produce. My Aztek (stop laughing) had the same av vents as the H2 years before the H2:laughing:

Yep except they'll **** it up and put IFS in the front like a bunch of retards...

Well, sure, because the H1 had such great solid axles! ;)

ill have to wait and see if it has a solid axle in the front or ifs, if it has ifs i wont consider it.

It will be IFS.

And I now know for sure what engines will be available.....but I can't say:grinpimp:

I hope they offer the small block Duramax as an option in the H4. I'd like to see the return to full independent suspension like the H1, but given the h2/h3 uses solid axles with IFS I doubt that will happen.

I don't really keep up with the hummer brand but I was impressed with the H3 advertising... I am not sure how it performs or what the speca were but the fact the the entire ad focused on how it performs OFFROAD indicates they're focus is more where I like to see it... Unlike a certain brand.

Cough*jeep*cough.

Though I think things fro Jeep might be getting better under Cerbrus.

For an off the showroom floor wheeler, it is outstanding IMHO. And they back it up too.

Please tell me there will be a diesel option!!

Reports have said it will be a removable hybrid. You can remove the hybrid engine from the rear of the vehicle, and run it just on gas.

Well, that would certainly be interesting! :eek:

I can't imagine that ever making it into a production version. It would probably be cheaper to implement a small block diesel/hybrid engine, something that GM can use in other vehicles rather to do a one off gimmick setup.

LOL, a removeable engine? It will never happen in production....:laughing:

Wow, that's a really strong argument. "I'm sure H3 is better offroad because that's what they show in their ads."

If you feel this strongly about it, try to back this statement up in the Gen 4x4 or Jeep Hard core forums.

Jeep has been getting nailed (and rightly so) for showing the kinds of offroad wheeling--mud, tearing things up, etc. and general resource damage--images that our industry has been trying to change. It's smart of them to show less invasive actions with their vehicles in their ads--whether the ads are filmed on private land or not.

Cough*jeep*cough.

Their ads will improve? :confused:

This is exactly the kind of specious argument that gets Hummer owners in arguments with owners of many other brands. Some people like to buy a rig that is capable off the showroom floor. Some people like to take a 20-30 year-old rig and modify it to their liking. Different strokes for different folks.

Get it?

Get it?

That whole argument is moot.

Jeep's have the same problem that Hummer owners get attacked for. Most people who buy the machine's never take them off road. I'm now just starting to see just as many pimped out JK street queens in Los Angeles riding on dubs as H2 street queens.

Jeep vs Hummer has always been a bad argument, it was all one company at one point. AM General = American Motors General Products division, which was all Willys/Kaiser/Studabaker if you keep going back in time. AM General was split from AM when Renault brought out AM. The US government didn't really want a foreign automaker in control of a company that makes CUCV's, HMMWV's and other military trucks. Seems like a moot point since AM General is now owned by a foreign interest anyway. I guess Renault didn't grease the right palms.

Hummers could have been licensed by Jeep and beaten GM to the punch. My 98 was brought new at Towbin Jeep/Eagle. Then again, I've seen enough infighting between models of the same brand of truck. :shaking:

I never understood why people got into an uproar on what other people drive.

In the end its all about the driver, not so much the machine. I'll wheel with anyone no matter what they drive. There's elitist snobs out there, but they're the guys who buy the big trucks for a status symbols which are all show and no go.

Hummer is relatively speaking, the new kid on the block, and its too bad it built up a negative image since the GM deal in such a short period of time. Over time it'll level out. You'll see more used trucks get cheaper and you'll see more on the trail.

Besides we got bigger battles to fight. Keeping our public lands accessible for responsible off road use.

hahaha. true story

Here is an image/story HUMMER just released about the HX (H4)

http://www.hummerguy.net/hummer-news/hummer-to-showcase-new-hx-concept-at-detroit-auto-show

http://www.hummerguy.net/wp-content/HUMMERHXConceptSketchKang.jpg

Cool info!

I think the HX pics up where the Aztec left off :D JK (menaing just kidding not Jk Jeep lol)

http://www.hummerguy.net/wp-content/HUMMERHXConceptSketchRojas.jpg

still looks pretty cool, any idea on what the price will be for the rig?

The price point for the H4 is susposed to be in the same area as the Jeep JK, ranging from 18-30k depending on options and package.

If it looks anything like the concept, and has good off road peformance out of the box, I may buy one. Especially if its closer to the H3T concept.

it really does look like an inclosed dune buggy.

it also really looks like it has IFS

It will have IFS, end of story. You don't have to guess any longer.
