yup

one more

Last one tonight some more tomorrow from some that I took at the convention center

OK, I do not know if I should react by saying "HOLY !@# that is unbelievable", or should I say "HOLY !@# this is terrible". This really needs to soak in for a LONG TIME.

OK, now after more pics were posted, I can now say "HOLY ****!!! THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I really love the way that front skid plate integrates with the lower front bumper. And I really want one of those rear "skid plates" for my H2. I really have to think about that sliding ragtop - doesn't really fit the "TOUGH OFF-ROAD" look of the Hummer. And I am just stunned by the interior design. I wonder what all the switches are for under the environmental controls....


H2 BILL - 1st off - THANKS FOR THE INFO!!! You are really "DA MAN"!!
Do you have any estimated release dates? Is this one of the "BIG GM DEBUTS" at the LA AUTOSHOW? Is this the "HUMMER DEBUT" that everyone has been reading about ever since the failed showing of the H3 at SEMA?

They are just calling it their concept truck. Yes this is the "Hummer Debut" for the LA auto show. They invited a few of us poor slobs to show our vehicles along with the press from all over the world (which was true...lots of foreign languages spoken tonight!) 5 cylinder inline turbo charged engine. I will post the stats tomorrow from the press release books that they gave us along with a few more pictures that I actually took.

OH MY.... OH MY.... I fell like a little kid at the candy store 2 minutes before it opens.... DROOL.... 5 CYLINDER INLINE TURBO-CHARGED ENGINE!!! So that would be a turbo-charged version of the motor (I-5) going into the COLORADO / CANYON, which is a smaller version of the Trailblazer (I-6) motor that is supposed to be going in the H3.

Here are a few of the pics that I took too.

The Nike connection is between GM, BFGoodrich and Nike. The tires have the traction influence of a Nike running shoe, the fabrics have their influence and the backs of the seat have an integrated Nike backpack that you can pull out to go hiking, etc......whatever, it's a typical "concept vehicle".

H2 Bill,

While you were at the show did you hear anything about whether the H3T would be offered as extened and crew cabs on top of regular cab?

Yes, actually the gentleman in the picures that I took (I forgot his official title) spoke prior to the unveiling and said that the "truck was the first model of the H3 to be designed" I think because of the appeal to the age group of the entry level consumer. Go to this link and click on the Hummer Video and he discusses this.

Thanks for the link. A full length carbon fiber belly pan, I wonder if that will make it to production. I hope they keep the turbo charger. Even with 225 HP the normal I5 is going to have trouble pushing around 4600 lb.s of H3T.

Boy that first guy liked to hear himself talk. After the first minute or two I was wishing he'd shut the hell up and show us the truck!

Yeah, he is Mike Giavanni (sp?) the General Manager for Hummer GM. He was actually very nice. I met him after the fanfare and told him that it should be a success if they keep the production model as close as possible to the prototype (I'm sure that I will influence him alot!). He was a real down to earth guy though.
