You can always count on Bob Lutz to provide a wealth of future product tidbits at his
press conferences. Spy shots posted on LLN confirm Bob's comments about new Hummer models. This H3 captured is both longer than a standard H3 and is camouflaged in the rear. A close inspection reveals the tent work that is hiding the back of the truck sags aft of the B-pillar, indicating without a doubt there's a bed back there.
This is obviously the SUT version of the H3, but we're still looking for the
H3T concept to make it to production as a dedicated truck, one we'd gladly choose over a Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon. Lutz did
hint that this was a possibility, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

4. This is cool, so long as they make a 2-door version, and make it EXTREMELY different from canyon/colorado

5. Crew cab actually. I wonder if the bed will actually be separate, it looks a bit long for the midgate system.
I would much rather just get a Canyon crew cab, avoiding looking like a poser and pissing off fringe environmentalists.

The big problem is that the H3/Canyon drivetrains suck compared to the Nissan Xterra and Frontier.

6. "The big problem is that the H3/Canyon drivetrains suck compared to the Nissan Xterra and Frontier."
That 5 cylinders inline has problems when compared to a lot of other same size pickup's engines.

10. The military HUMVEE is built in Mishawaka, Indiana.
The Hummer H1, the civilian version of the HUMVEE, is no longer in production.
The Hummer H2, more civilianized, experenced slowed production some months ago and now rumors are hot and heavy among the UAW Local 5 members, that production numbers will not only be cut again, close to 100 workers will be laid off.
The Hummer H3, the one in this blog, is of course made elsewhere.
How do I know this news? I live in Mishawaka, Indiana.

12. Another evidence that styling alone will sell a car/truck. The H3 is just a ugly to me as its bigger brothers (and it's a good thing because it looks just as manly macho man - village people style)
The H3 has all the visual clues that makes it look much higher and much bigger than it actually is. This is why it sells so well (being so cheap helps too)
At least GM has this one right: sell on looks. Same thing DCX did with the 300. Looks badass, sells alot.

14. I wonder if this means that DCX will announce the release of the Jeep Gladiator next month? I hope so because I am a big Gladiator fan.

16. It is time for the 6L50 transmission to go with the bigger 3.7 I5 engine.

17. I see a big mistake there: the bed is long. It has a big ole' rear overhand that will destory the truck rear approach angle.
There goes Hummer's credibility on off-road. And there goes the prime foundation of Hummer.
