I think if the Hummer brand gets eliminated that the H3 should become a new Chevy "Blazer"
I figure since it is built on the same line as the Colorado/Canyon it could be slightly restyled to fit the Chevy brand and still keep its excellent off road qualities.
It would be a spiritual successor to the K5 and S10 Blazer and a good competitor to the Nissan XTerra and Toyota FJ Cruiser
What do Hummer owners think?
What would you think of a 2 door version?

Personally I wouldnt mind seeing a shortened 2 door version but no way do I want to see a bowtie or blazer badge on it. I''d never buy one again if that were the case.

I could go with a GMC H3, but not Chevrolet. Drop the Trailblazer based (all divisions) units and create a H3 series (i.e. SUV, SUT).

Just my thoughts because I really hope the H3 stays with GM.

It would be better than discontinuing Hummer altogether or selling it to India.

The H3 is basically a “Chevy” anyway?

Nah Hummer is its own beast. Always will be. Love the H3 look, but its too small for my tastes, hence I went with an H2 SUT. After seeing what Chevy did to the Avalanche (Turned it from a stocky butch truck into a soccermom vehicle), I''d hate to see what they would do to the Hummer.

WoW. I think you two need to go to find the book Hummer H3 and do some research on why it was built and how its built before you start talking like that. I had a chevy blazer, fine truck, but does not even compare to my H3 Alpha.

You might be right on the styling front. I''d hate to see any Hummer become a "family values" mobile. Car companies seem to be afraid to make cars that single people will like.

Trailblazer is gone after 2009. The plant that builds them is closing.
