H4 going forward in China?

[DWPC]

With Volvo being sold by Ford to China last month, Hummer would be in good company if a Chinese deal could be resurrected. An H3 with a Volvo turbodiesel...sounds good!

If it's going to be a purely Chinese product I'll never even sit in one.

Don't trust them.

I'll believe that when I see it.

If this was sold to a Chinese company, I wouldn't buy it. For all intensive purposes, it does look like Hummer is dead, but here's a couple of thoughts:

- H1 and H2 were about 99% of the bad press for Hummer on mileage
- People are *still* surprised that my H3 gets more than 11mpg
- Personal observation: My 2006 H3 (which I purchased new in the fall of 2005) still feels great and new to me, this crushes the two Blazers I previously owned and will sorely miss purchasing another H3 in a few years when the time comes

I agree that I think there is still a market for the H3 (and maybe H4 - though I don't know much about that). GM already has the plans. Kill the Hummer brand ? Yeah, looks like that happened, but they could roll H3/H4 into GMC and rebrand as the GMC H-Series (or something like that). H1/H2 goes away as well as the majority of the stigma, H3/H4 live to see another day.

I'm sure it has been talked about, but that is my own personal scenario I'd like to see played out since I'm an H3 fan.

I totally agree. It seems the H3 has brought the Hummer back down to the realistic level that people can tolerate. I get alot of comparisons to jeeps, which no one seems to have a problem with (but me). I hope they can find a way to keep the H3/H4 alive (as well as the G8 for Pontiac). Honestly, however, I doubt that GM will work too hard for the H3.

I 2nd that, I've had mine since early June 2005 - got it back in the days when there were test drive waiting lists and selling for at least retail, sigh.


Add to the crush list a Jeep Cherokee - no comparision after same period of time owned...
