Very sad news indeed. :(
DOA
I had two guys in a yellow H2 stop me in a parking lot and asked me if my Trooper was a Jeep. :rolleyes:
Bart
LOL I bet you went off on them!Quote:

I did correct them though...something along the lines of, "hell no, it's an old Isuzu Trooper!"
:) Bart
Wow I think both the Cherokee and the H2 are fantastic looking!!! :yeso:Quote:

Damn recession killed it. I loved the H4/HX. Guess now I'll have to dream about the "Retro-Concept 2-Door FORD BRONCO". Come'on Ford, build it!!!
The older Cherokees when done up right are decent looking. If I was forced at gun point to buy a Jeep, that is what I would get into.Quote:

Two of the ugliest H2s I have ever seen are here in Reno. Check em out. You'll probably like em...I feel queasy looking at them however...:D

As well it should. I kinda think Hummer needs to die. Sorry, I loathe the H2 so much that it will make me happy to see the Hummer go the way of the VX. The simple fact that a vehicle as stylish and awesome as the VX is essentially no more, and the awesome, utilitarian Isuzu Troopers are no longer being made makes me angry enough. Why should this bloated, wasteful machine stay in production is I can't have a simple Isuzu Trooper? :laughing: Not to mention, we shamefully turned this:Quote:

Makes me feel sad for anyone who actually likes the H2 (no offense H2 fans).
I just don't understand 22" spinners, full vinyl wraps, insane bass mobile systems on a vehicle that was originally meant to penetrate and destroy enemy targets.
Sorry, I hate bling and anything to do with bling culture and the H2 is the epitome.
Sorry for that rant, it's friday and I get all emotional about trucks. :)
Bart
i completely agree bart... i dont understand how anyone thinks that their H2 is anything other than an expensive yukon. grocery getting, soccer mom and real estate dealer vehicle.
have you seen the family guy where they make fun of H2 owners bart? its hillarious.
"i love watching madagascar in my H2 while driving down the highway!!!!"
Regardless, I still like my H2 (and this is coming from a 3-time VX owner):whiteflag:. The HX was a great concept.

Oh man, don't take offense, just opinions here. Your VX ownership clears you of all H2 shame!! :laughing: JK, man!!
EDIT: Plus, yours is black and it has nice looking rims so it doesn't hurt my eyes so much. :)
:_beer:
Bart
Did you guys seriously want a Chinese made hummer??? It looks good on paper, but I think it would have been a piece of junk.
Thank you Bart! Your stealth VX was my inspiration! No offense taken at all! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
lol, yes everything non US made will be rubbish...Quote:

Seriously, I think you can take just about any car, paint it black, put on some cool black rims and tint the windows and you will make it look MUCH better, regardless of what it is.
I'm not a Mercedes fan AT ALL. I know they are "good" cars and all but i have no taste for ANY of the Mercedes body styles (except for the Unimog), but I saw this car in San Fran a couple weeks ago and it was SICK.

I have no idea how the owner of this car can possibly afford the citations.

Absolute rubbish.
People look at them on the show room floor, and just walk away.
And that is before they ride in them, or put miles on them to check for reliability.
No reason to expect a Chinese Hummer would be any better.
We all had better stock up on our VX parts, 'cause there is nothing coming along to replace it any time soon.
PK
Well no car looks good all blinged out; not even a VX but Hummer H2 can be amazing if done right! Here's a photo tribute to the 2nd coolest 4WD ever made...

Sorry H4 you were too cool for this world.
reviving an old thread. I just found out that the H4 is back for 2012. i hope it stays true to the concept.
Huh??? What do you mean the H4/HX is back for 2012??? Where are you getting your facts & information from??? Please provide us an internet "link" to your source of information pronto!!!:confused:Quote:

First, you need the Hummer brand.
Second, you need the Hummer brand to produce vehicles.
Third, you need the Hummer brand to sell vehicles in 2012.
Old News
Your only hope is to offer several pennies for one from the Transformers 2 movie. And at that point you are prob'ly going to have to drum up a VIN code. And if that goes well you are going to have to modify the bumpers to meet DOT specs... which is also why civilians can't buy a HMMWV.
You might have a better chance of getting the 2011 Hummer Wee
Be glad the H4 is not being made. The Vehicross is famous for making it to production without being ruined for a reason. Most cars don't look nearly as good at the showcar version and the H4 was no HX or even VX. I saw it in the studio and between giving it a roomy interiour, normal sized tires and a low price it had definitely lost the magic. Stick with the VehiCross!
What does what I drive have to do with anything? :confused:
Nor am I going to.
HAHA! R U related to T4B perhaps? ;)
Ok; since "FlyingV77" refused to elaborate on where he obtained info on a 2010 Hummer H4/HX, I decided to google the internet in search of said info.Quote:

However, it does warrant us to monitor the ongoings & outcomings of this "rumor" to see how it eventually unfolds/materializes. I for one am extremely skeptical; and will only believe it, when I actually see it. History has shown that way too many concept's have never made it to full-blown production. Although a few have (i.e. the Isuzu VX and the Pontiac Solstice-- both were concepts that made it to actual production). In the meantime; I'll keep my fingers crossed for the H4/HX, but I have my doubts.
I would love to add a 2012 Hummer H4/HX to my stables which currently include prestine examples of a 1978 FJ-40 and 2001 VX. Make the 2012 Hummer H4/HX available in Velocity Yellow (from Corvette paint palet) or Synergy Green (from Camaro paint palet) and we'll have a winner!!!
:bgwb:
didnt refuse, just havent loged back in sence that post.
If i can find the artical again ill post a link. If i rember corectly it was about a week old.
From the Hummer website: http://www.hummer.com/hummerjsp/home.jsp
http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/da...p_29_22_02.gif
Wouldn't that be dated and not updated until something is settled.
Oh boy... Which would come first:
1. An offical announcement on the Hummer website saying, "Hey, everyone! A miracle has happened and Hummer may/will not be phased out!!!"? ...or...
2. MSNBC and every other news org writes an article on an upcoming business transaction regarding the salvation of Hummer? ...or...
3. An extremely hard to find private website lists a 2 year old concept vehicle as back in the works from a dying company?
Please forgive my tone; I know I too allow logical thinking be overcome by wishful thinking from time to time... but IMO, this is silly. Don't get me wrong... I would LOVE if the HX were to be produced... I would also love to have a Playboy Playmate in my bed. ;)
I can give you guys a little more info on this since I am a HUGE HUMMER fanatic. The HX was going to be produced by Tengzhong if the sale would've been finalized, but since the chinese government nixed the sale GM has been considering releasing the HX as a GM model. Thats right, a GM HX. Sounds stupid, I know. There has also been talk of continuing H3 production at some point as a GM model as well. GM has been flooded with mail from offroad enthusiasts who are upset that GM no longer has a viable offroad niche. We'll see what happens I guess. It is highly unlikely, but still possible someone could step up and buy the brand at some point.
H3 - thanks for that info. The way I understand it, even tho they had to nix the HX, the planned chassis was the same as what is still planned for the soon to be redone Colorado/Canyon - only shorter. I see GM potentially offering a shorter version of the C-twins as a CUV to compete against the FJ and the Wrangler, like what they had intended to do in the first place. There was already so much engineering put into the vehicle so it IS an affordable idea. My question is... is Isuzu involved with the upcoming C-twins like it was with the current model??? Cuz... we may have a new "VX" on the way... sorta. :_confused
DING DING DING DING!!!
You've won... a picture!

Still don't see how that matters tho... :confused:
What kind of tires are you running on the jeep? They look like they might be interco's.Quote:

U r a sad little man.
I've always thought as GM closes divisions, why not take the best ideas of that division and rebadge them as GM vehicles. If it's a solid viable product and you have the distribution, why not?
I doubt the HX will ever see the light of day, but who knows, Saab is back in business.
When I think of Chinese vehicles, I think of the disposable dirtbikes they sell at Checker.
After all the buzz about the HX, Is this piece of $%& what they came up with??
