******Hummer H4 Information!!!******

Hey Everyone, guess what??? I got new information, and even a PICTURE of the possible new 2008 or 2009 Hummer H4. Here's what one website said about it:

"Among the many showstoppers General Motors has planned for the North American International Auto Show in January, its military-inspired off-road brand HUMMER will be unveiling an H4 concept. The oft rumored H4 will be smaller than the successful H3 SUV that's currently driving HUMMER sales and will be slated to compete with the Jeep Wrangler. While the H3 is built on the same platform as the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon mid-size pickups, we don't yet know what will underpin the H3. AutoWeek sources confirm, however, that it will not be built on a front-wheel drive platform. With the success of the H3 worldwide continuing unabated despite the fluctuation of fuel prices, the decision to produce the H4 concept should be an easy one for General Motors. Expect a version suitable for mass market consumption around 2010. HUMMER will also have a pickup version of the H3 on display at the Detroit show. With two new potential vehicles on deck, HUMMER appears ready to carve as large a niche for itself as possible out of the remaining pool of off-road warriors.

And here's what another website says:

"General Motors’ future product plan includes a back-to-basics, go-anywhere Hummer H4—a rough-and-tough competitor for the Jeep Wrangler. The fourth Hummer could be on sale by 2008 or 2009.

A GM source confirms the company is looking for ways of making a small Hummer on its various sport/utility vehicle and pickup platforms. GM engineers and designers are working on the project, but a chassis for the vehicle has yet to be selected. One possibility is a two-seater, focused on the most rugged off-roading possible, similar to the Hummer dune buggy we illustrated earlier this year (“A Hummer Buggy,” May 9).

“It’s a matter of finding the right combination of rugged components and how we can package them into a vehicle smaller than the H3,” says the source. “The main design factor is that any vehicle with a Hummer badge has to be the most capable off-road, period.”

One possibility is to use a shortened version of GM’s small pickup platform, which underpins the new H3.

GM product czar Bob Lutz is believed to be a big supporter of the H4, and as a former boss of Jeep he knows the competition intimately.

Hummer is also unlikely to launch a second range of soft-roaders, a move that Jeep is taking to exploit sales with owners who don’t need its “Trail Tested” off-road abilities.

And now......the moment we've all been waiting for...a PICTURE of the new possible 2008 or 2009 Hummer H4!!!!



And finally, here's some additional great news:

"Could this be the next Hummer dubbed HUMMER H4? Well AutoWeek seems to think so by coming up with this Art illistration of what they think the next H4 will look like. General Motors has confirmed they are working on such a project and it could be ready as soon as 2008. Possible platforms include a shortend version of the H3 or the Theta platform and it will have a removable top and doors. The Hummer H4 will be the cheapest vehicle in HUMMER's lineup around the mid $20K's.

Hope you all enjoyed this Hummer information.

Did you know...

• A Hummer is classified as a Class 3 truck, but it does not require a special license to drive it.

• All Hummer dealers are required (as a condition to holding the franchise) to organize 4 Hummer off-road events per year!

• Unlike most SUVs, this vehicle is geared for off road use. Therefore, what most perceive as poor engine speed during routine driving actually results from the fact that Hummers were not designed for driving on in town and on highways.

• The Hummer is a tiger offroad. The H1 can climb a 22-inch vertical wall, navigate a 60% grade, traverse a 40% grade side slope fully loaded (with nearly 3,500 pounds of payload), and operate in up to 30 inches of water. The H2 can climb a 16-inch vertical wall, navigate a 60% grade, traverse a 40% side slope, and operate in up to 20 inches of water.

• HUMVEE or HUMMER?… The basic vehicle produced for military use is called a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (or HMMWV), which the military eventually called a HUMVEE for short. When AM General introduced a civilian version of the HMMWV, it was officially called a HUMMER.

• The H2 starts with your basic GM truck platform. It's the same one introduced on Chevy and GMC pickups in 1999 and is today on the Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade and other GM full-size trucks and sport-utility vehicles.

• All Hummers have automatic transmissions, even the military ones. Therefore, no stick-shift option is available.

• While a Hummer is equipped to drive through water up to 30 inches deep (most components are sealed against the elements), it's not an amphibious vehicle, or a submarine, nor can it float. In fact, it is designed to take on water in order to avoid floating, all the while maintaining traction underneath.

• The Hummer is designed in such a way that when fording through deep water, a significant amount of water will actually enter the vehicle, only to be released afterwards through the drain plugs in the floors.

• While military Humvees have a snorkel kit extending the exhaust and air intake to roof level, making it possible to operate in 60 inches of water, Civilian Hummers cannot use the snorkel kit because the dash, fuses, alternator, power steering cap, transmission controller, radio, and engine controller are not waterproof.

• As a Class 3 truck, Hummers are exempt from many DOT safety regulations such as passive restraints and third brake lights. However, they do have to have padded dashes, collapsible steering columns, steel roofs and doors, and lights (including clearance lights on front and rear).

• The EPA does not release gas mileage ratings for Hummers, because they fall under the classification of “heavy vehicles” (similar to shuttle buses and ambulances).

• Approximately 1000 civilian versions the original Humvee are built each year at the South Bend, IN facility.
