GM to Uneil H4 and H3 pickup

[SilveradoLAX7]

Just ran across an article in the automotive news that cited "sources close to the automaker". Apparently on the heals of the success they've had with the H3, they will make a H4 to compete with the Wrangler (perhaps as soon as 2010). Also interesting is the possibility of an H3 pickup as soon as 2009.

 

here's the link to the article (I basically just paraphrased from)

I'm kinda torn about Hummer styling. Sometimes I see some that I like, othertimes it looks like someone glued every accessory from the local shop wherever they would fit (and many places they didn't). With all the running lights and oversized tires(H3 especially) its a little over the top.

I just WISH they'd make the pickups capable of being fitted with "oversized" tires like that...Without having to screw with the torsion bars and chop on the air dam.

 

I'd LOVE to see an H3 pickup with the 5.3 in it.

I think the Hummer name is quickly becoming a joke! Ever since GM took over, they are working the Hummer image over, and it will be a shell of it's former self. How can you even consider discontinuing the original H1, THE REAL HUMMER? All of these "jokes" of a Hummer since the H1 are just an insult to the the H1, and GM seems bound and determined to continue this trend. I have wheeled Lake Tahoe area in an H1, and it is a beast that does what you need it to do. Ive never been in an H2 or H3, but they are certainly not the purpose built machine the H1 is.

 

Has everyone seen the video on the net of the H2 doing some Basic rock crawling and snapping the front end like a toothpick?

I wouldnt say they are jokes, heck atleast we can afford the "jokes". It does suck they discontinued the H1.

Yea...I was researching it. GM is still selling the H1, but they are not producing them any longer. The last H1s are Duramax/Allison combos. They may continue to sell em until they are gone. GM haulted production because of changing emissions laws.
