Thoughts on Hummer Hx concept

[nfpgasmask]

I had two guys in a yellow H2 stop me in a parking lot and asked me if my Trooper was a Jeep.

LOL I bet you went off on them!

Actually, it has happened TWICE. About a month ago, oddly enough in the same parking lot, some other guy asked me if it was an old Cherokee. I mean, yeah, I guess in a very general way they resemble eachother, but c'mon! Have you been under a rock your whole life? 50% of the SUVs on the Reno roads are Cherokees!

I didn't have the heart to be mean to the guys in the yellow H2. I mean, after all, they are stuck with the ugliest SUV ever, imo. The H2 is a bloated, beached whale!

I did correct them though...something along the lines of, "hell no, it's an old Isuzu Trooper!"

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!!!

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? Not to mention, we shamefully turned this:



Into this:


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.

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). The HX was a great concept.

[nfpgasmask]

Oh man, don't take offense, just opinions here. Your VX ownership clears you of all H2 shame!! JK, man!!

EDIT: Plus, yours is black and it has nice looking rims so it doesn't hurt my eyes so much.

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.

Sorry Crotch, I hafta agree with PittVX on this one.

We have a brand of Chinese vehicles for sale here in Australia.

They have dropped the prices of them down to about 60% of same size Japanese vehicles, and they still can't sell them.

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.

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.

[Riff Raff]

Nope, this is the "real" H4/HX. The electric wannabe golf cart with a body kit in the previous post ain't it.

reviving an old thread. I just found out that the H4 is back for 2012. i hope it stays true to the concept.
