HUMMER's long-awaited follow-up to the "it" vehicle of 2002 will bow today at the Anaheim auto show. The mid-size HUMMER H3 shares its fundamentals with the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon pickups, reinforced for heavier-duty off-road capability essential to the HUMMER nameplate, execs say. The H3 is 16.9 inches shorter in length than the H2, 6 inches shorter in height and 6.5 inches narrower. Power comes from a 220-hp, 3.5-liter in-line five-cylinder engine also available on the compact pickup trucks, and buyers can choose either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox, though four-wheel drive is standard. Stabilitrak stability control is standard, while leather seats, an electric sunroof, a DVD nav system, XM satellite radio, and larger 33-inch tires are optional. HUMMER promises fuel economy of up to 20 mpg. The H3 goes on sale in spring 2005. Pricing isn't final but a tag in the mid-$30,000 range is expected.

That interior would be nice....in a Saturn Vue.

 

Really nice interior. But then again, I dunno if it's $35,000 nice.

 

soooooooooo gay

 

I gave up on that loaded G35 Coupe and now want .................. j/k

 

This thing isnt made by idiots. Its made for idiots.

 

HUMMER: GET OUT THERE or whatever it is, could now be

HUMMER: A FOOL AND HER HUBBY'S MONEY ... YEAH.

Wait, that would work with the H2 SUT too.

 

I dunno, I think the picture doesn't highlight its crappyness so well. To me it looks to be marginally better than the Chevy Equinox.

 

Due to the general crappiness of cars in the 30 to 40 segment, people had forgotten that

1. 35,000 is (was) a lot of money for a car
2. it's way too much money for a truck
3. it's way too much money for a truck that doesn't function like a truck
4. it's way too much money for a function-less truck with sloppy interior

 

the shift boot reminds me of a paper bag you'd get at superfresh
