Bet a lot get raced. GM seems to be doing things right lately.....they'll leave this soft....like a FJ....better for long susp.travel....let the owner set it up the way they need. Just in time for the North American DAKAR. If they really float this car, expect a big race support...Baja, all the Oz events, anywhere. I'm in.....if. BIG if.

I like it, but the more I look at it the more I think this has the same design problem our VX's have. Looking at that spare tire placement, this one will have zero use for the rear-view mirror too!

Look at it as a race vehicle....there won't be any rear glass. I love this thing, but I doubt it will be made. Can always hope, but there ain't much. This thing just might hand Mitsi their A**

No way, I loved the H1 but it was WAY too expensive, as well as slow and guzzling of course, and I loved the H2 but it was even bigger and thirstier or course, and I loved the H3 and it is even an Isuzu underneath so it drives great, but it's too normal and too many doors. The H4 is the first true VX replacement I've seen and it's got an open top to boot! What could be better! I love HUMMERS.

I'm liking this truck:

and it's has AutoblogGreen's approval for the engine: 3.6L v6 with direct injection 304hp on e85.. I can also see why someone would think the shocks are similar to the vx's

I am really liking this thing.

I hope it comes with a trailer ..to put all the stuff that comes off..and its bigger than our VXs. in size..

That Chinese company yesterday had to back out of the deal with GM to buy Hummer... No HX. :(
