#169 of 710 SUT/H3/Golf Cart by h1vc Jun 27, 2002 (12:16 pm)
From HML and H2ML Hummer executives say the H2 sport utility truck likely will make its debut in late 2004 as a 2005 model. It will feature a 36-inch bed and a unique power window that rolls down automatically into the midgate at the touch of a switch on the overhead console. This midgate -- a kind of tailgate located in the middle of the truck, separating the bed from the passenger area -- is patterned after a traditional station wagon tailgate. The power switch that lowers the midgate window can also lower the four side windows simultaneously. The H2 will be the second vehicle in the Hummer series since GM began its partnership in 1999 with Hummer's parent, AM General, the Indiana military vehiclemanufacturer.   GM executives say the H3 -- which will be built on the all-new, Isuzu-engineered Chevrolet Colorado platform -- likely will cost about $30,000. The main concern as GM makes its business case for building the H3 is whether a more affordable Hummer can deliver the performance expectations of Hummer consumers. The Hummer H3 is expected to be built at GM's Shreveport, La., plant, which currently turns out the GMC Sonoma and Chevrolet S10 pickups.   Also, GM/Hummer is in negotiations with an unnamed, upscale retailer to develop and market a small gas-powered vehicle about the size of a golf cart and priced around $20,000. So far, nobody's called it the H4.
#170 of 710 Late to the party by ktowheels Jun 29, 2002 (4:46 pm)
Good to see that you guys are finally coming to the party. It was hard to discuss the H2 with only a few people. If you are having second thoughts about the H2; you are not alone. After going and sitting in one in Dallas I cancelled my order. There is zero room! I am going to stick to my Tahoe for now. I implore each of you that are over six foot tall to go sit in it!   I was so disappointed! I now know what it is like for kids too short to ride the really good roller coasters! I will continue to hound the Hummer guys until the come up with a way of lowering the seat about three inches closer to the floor.   I recommend that those that are new to this discussion thread to start at the begining; many a good conversation were had in regards to performance expectations. Always interesting to see how speculation lives up to reality!   Later, K

The room is my only concern. I may be cancelling my order as well. I haven't sat in one as of yet and already feel as if the seat will be too high.   I guess I'll find out this week.   Buddy

Think it's pretty good. Learned some things from it.

Now that seems to be a pretty positive review to me. Those are things I like to hear. Of course you can exclude the gas mileage. The last time I got 10 or less mpg was in the 60's. I remember those gas drinking muscle cars...those were the good o'days.

Steve, you know as well as I that thing wouldn't make it out of the parking lot on the Old Sterling "Highway" (snicker) trail. It's just toooooooo darn big! But it is a cool color.

It's getting like whitewater boating. In the old days you had a canoe or kayak and you ran the river. Now you have "destination" boats and you pick one from your quiver depending on whether you want to surf a wave, play in a hole or boof a creek.   So now you have a Hummer in the garage for the slickrock, a Rover for the skinny stuff in the woods, and a topless Wrangler for the sand. Why not? Bet lots of folks have mountain bikes and 10-speeds in their garages too. Steve Host SUVs, Vans and Aftermarket & Accessories Message Boards
