The Solstice, Sky, Enclave, CTS and Camaro give me hope for the H4 based on this concept. I might have to buy one to run around in the desert.]]>Jan 13th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/Freudian slip or intentional play-on-words? Repel means to push away (as in it's ugly). The word you're looking for is "rappel". Look a few posts down; Damon got it right!

FWIW, I agree with the intentional play-on-words angle...]]>Jan 13th 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/
I look at this is a wrangler with a decent powertrain and fewer recalls/TSB's.

Oh who am I kidding, the bashers will come just because the post says "Hummer" in the title. They will argue that a Prius is the only choice you and I should be allowed to drive for the environments sake.

Why don't they argue that everyone should sell ALL cars and move to an urban center where public transportation, bicycles, and well soled shoes can be used to get you where you need to go? Likely because that would infringe on thier "freedom of choice" to live where they please... ]]>Jan 13th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/Jan 13th 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/Jan 13th 2008 11:20PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/Jan 13th 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/Jan 13th 2008 2:10PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/Jan 13th 2008 8:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/Jan 13th 2008 8:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/
I find it funny that Jeep has a pile of square, shorter window vehicles now (Commander, Patriot & Liberty) and added 2 doors finally to the Wrangler although it looks like crap. At least it seems this happened after the H3. Then Dodge makes a square, smaller windowed vehicle in the Nitro. This is good for quality and competition for Jeep\Hummer brands.

All that said, too bad GM did not put the V6 in the H3 to begin with, the 5 is too small, the 8 is stupidly too big. I assume this was a logistics problem, since it was built where the Colorado was, odds are it was a cheap solution to drop the i5 in it. I owned a Colorado, the i5 worked fine in that.]]>Jan 13th 2008 9:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/It is exactly what I am looking for.]]>Jan 15th 2008 10:17AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-hummer-hx-repels-into-cobo/
Its nice to see all of this interest around the HX show car. Today's been a whirlwind day down at cobo, I did want to see what was being said.
I also spent some time answering questions at GMnext.com from consumers interested in HUMMER, so if you're a fan you may want to check that out later.

1, too small, Jeep wranglers 4dr is better. even Toyota ABAT's half door is better.

2, too compact, a life killer to 2nd row passengers, and no safe to driver either.

3, open top?? better to copy Landrover LXR's clear top. PS: roof rack needed for every users/

4, bad outlook design front and back. make the silver color protector wider to cover all left and right, don't make it looks cheapy.

5, waste $$ on interior design. put those $$$ on making it larger, and release more room inside.

6, powertrain is a DISASTER!!! when all others running on 30MPG at least(not to mention solarpowered ABAT, etc), hummer still crawling under 20MPG. What a lag!!!]]>Feb 25th 2008 1:53PM
