Thoughts on Hummer Hx concept

Any thoughts on new GM consept? I am sure by the time it will be available (if it will be available) they will change whole bunch of things to cut corners. I loved my VX because it was unique and as close as you can get to the concept.
Possible thoughts:Like it, dislike it, will consider as substitude/addition for my aging VX. I personally like it but have mixed feelings about the steep angle of the windshield.

I like it however, the target that they are shooting for (jeepers) will not like the front and rear independent suspension. They should have thrown some big beefy 1 ton (or bigger) staight axles under it! It will ultimately become just another over priced grocery getter that see's only a small percentage getting any off road use.

Your Poll question is misleading? Like it? Dislike it? Neutral? OK, I like it, but...

"substitute for my aging VX" -- NEVER!!

[kobie]

I like it but:
1) I wouldn't substitute it for the VX
2) It wouldn't make sense for me to have a 2nd 2 door vehicle
3) It's a Hummer
4) It looks so big for what it is

Cool design, but I'd rather admire it from afar and not in my garage.

I would pre order one right now if they woulp swap at least one solid axel in there and promise it would stay looking exactly like that.

...The rear visibility is almost identical to ours in that version of the concept.

i love it, but needs better axals, and bigger real hummer tires, not that crossover look that the rear seems to have. and yes i also agree if they keep it the same way, then i'll buy 1 and have 2 2 door off road monsters, a Hx and the best of all offroad monsters, our lovely VX, Hmmmmmmm i think that would have a beatuiful look in my garage, when ever i have a 2 car garage, lol .

I like the Flexfuel E85 V6. I have to say, I really hate the hummers, except for the H1 military grade. But this HxConcept is looking mighty cool. I guess it comes down to, How much will they keep in the production version?!

[VXIRONwoMAN]

I likey!!! I could have a Vx and Hx garage... Hmmmmm Just call my garage the X factor... tee hee! Could it be the similarity in names that intrigues me??? It would have to stay just as shown in the concept though... the VX is nearly identical to the concept. Let's hope the Hx stays the same way. It's gonna be waaaaay to pricey for me though...

The more I look at it the more I like it, I would think with the style they are going after the jeep wrangler so the price may be around the same. Hopefully. Only thing that would have to be changed is the seats I mean come on I know its an offroad vehicle but damn. They are like two piece lawn chairs with bolstering, plus our recaros are so comfy.(I'm spoiled) Lol

funny the shock system looks kind like the VX shock system...hmmmmm

My VX does NOT have coil overs with external chambers!

External chamber shocks are not a VX thing...although there are very few vehicles that come from the factory with them.

[don moore]

I ment the External chamber shocks..that came on the vx .
sorry ..I was going by the hummer pics ..on the rear of the hummer concept.

Its a vast improvement over the previous versions of the civi Hummer.

Vast improvement? YES! Will they make it? No f'ing way! Hummers of every variety are practicaly glued to the showroom floor, and have been for some time. Hummer is not part of the General's "new way forward"....the H3 hit the market with a resounding thud, pretty much sealing the fate of the brand. You'll see a new Aztec before you see this in production. Shame too....looks like a Dakar Pajero on 'Roids. Drop in the new, lightweight LS3, add in the I/S and you get Baja beast (rather than rock crawler) Too bad it's a very attractive, if essentially useless, design)

I agree with Wayne - another excercise in wha coulda but didna (sounds like a Lion King song!).
