2008 Hummer H2 - Official Pics & Video

[BlueHUMMERH2]

Autoblog says surround sound will be available, and the M mode is operated with a button on the shifter (like the Outlook and Acadia I suppose).

2 questions here:

With the new 4 wheel drive switch thing, how do you put the transfer case into neutral??? VERY VERY important feature if you need to flat tow the H2 behind a motorhome....A know a few people whos deciding feature was the ability to put the t case in neutral to tow the H2!

Rollover mitagation. How does this work, what does it do to avoid a rollover?


No diesel yet DAMIT. 2009 will have it! GM are you there? WE ALL WANT A DURAMAX IN THE H2 and WILL PAY A PREMIUM for IT. Give us what we want!

Look at the t/case switch real close...see the N (not white), just to the right of 4-low lock.

From what I have seen, you will never get a DMAX in the H2, unless you put it in yourself.

Wow! The rearview mirror sure looks different, it's kinda neat.

Notice how square the rearview mirror is compared to the other photos. That is the rear backup rearview mirror. When in reverse, a little screen slides out from the right side and shows what is behind you. Didn't know they were adding that to the H2, but it will be available on the H3.

The rearview camera described above is already on some of the Limited Edition H2's. My 2007 Victory Red LE H2 came with it from the factory.

mechanically, i really like the 08 model. a larger displacement motor with cylinder on demand is a great feature. Also, the stability/yaw control is and the 6 speed trans is a good added feature. Paddle or driver controlled shifts for towing of off-roading sure, why not.

However, the thing i love about my h2 is that it looks like an h2 and "nothing else" being built by am general is great and all. Thus, with the new 08, i really dont like the looks or the way GM has tailored it to look LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE it sells. Your not gonna look at that interior and not see a mix of a tahoe/escalade/silverado. That center section with the polished outline is what almost every other GM has...

and that is why i dont like this new model. It seems to have stepped away from what AM G. designed with GM's help to something almost strictly from a GM design department. I see no 'hummer' in that interior, where we spend most of our time.. and that kinda gets to me a bit. Not a complete overkill just not what i excepted.

The rear a/c vents and other features are great... they should of just tweaked an interior that says hummer, not GM.


EDIT: Well, i will say that the black interior pics are awesome! But not hummer and that sh!t just kinda kills it for me... add some titties to it please!! That is all we need!

Any news on towing capacity?

The H3 alpha is up to 6,000lbs. Hope the H2 increases as well. (F150 11,000 lbs)

Even though the H2's built a lot tougher than the F-150, it's heavier, thus lowering it's tow rating. It'll be interesting to see if it goes up.
