Re: comments please.
Looks like a scion.
Please tell me this is not something that is really on the table. I'd hate to see Hummer go the route that Jeep is going (ie. Compass).

Re: comments please.
Why a winch bumper?
But I do kinda' like it for what it is. Much better than the Element and Scion.

Re: comments please.
Okay...
First, a question. What is it?
Initial impressions - It looks like the mating of a Hummer with a Scion
- It looks like a CAR!
- How do you drive it off road?
- ITS A CAR!
Secondary impression

Re: comments please.
I looked at it again, trying to see some justification for it. ie: Urban Assault Vehicle...
I still don't like it. Perhaps if you could explain the idea behind it?

Other than that, no way.

Because you kill the brand image:

Nobody at GM had anything to do with the photoshop job, but it has drawn some attenion. If you could just put what you think of it in the origanial thread I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

I was thinking the same thing. But then again, I'm wondering why about the whole thing, so why get nit-picky.

Okay.
Its wrong. This is NOT what a HUMMER should be. This is a car, not a truck. This is an on-road vehicle, not an off-road vehicle. If GM does this it is the same as what happened at Land Rover and at Jeep. Land Rover used to have the Defender series trucks, Trucks that were used in Africa because they could take all the abuse in the world. Now they have the pussy-footing LR3 and Range Rover Sport.
Jeep is a line up of mall cruisers, with the exception of the Rubicon. It is a bunch of poser mom-mobiles.
This HUMMER H? is just the same. Its a solid move to mom-mall-pussy mobiles. HUMMER suffers from too much Bling affiliation IMHO and this is just another nail in the coffin.

Re: comments please.
Barf- leave that crap for Pontiac. "The New Montana van"
Since this "has thier attention." how about a full size H2 quad cab pickup with Duramax or the new 8 cyl. that's in the Escalade? I remember seeing a protype pic somewhere. It was sweet!
