I was told 90 %. But that is subject to change and will be dictated by "economy of scale" when/if this thing actually goes into production. Maybe Hummer<space>Guy can clear this up next time he logs on, as he was at Detroit and in contact with the
numerous "Powers That Be" there at GM.
I sort of relate the HX to the H4, the same way I do the original H3T concept and our current production H3.
You can sort of see what will make it to the production model and what won't.
The NEW 09 H3T is just an extension of the current H3, not born of the H3T concept from a few year ago.
Am I making any sense? (My multi-tasking skills suck today)

90% is the number Hummer's lead designer gave me in Detroit, and made the comment that they always like to stay "within striking distance" when they're making a concept. He said that as it sits, the HX looks like what may be an Alpha version down the road.
The name "H4" will be the next Hummer out of the gate -- they released the HX concept so they could see what worked and what didn't -- as a company, they're leaving themselves some room to change things in an actual production model -- this room also keeps the competitors guessing to what will actually hit the showrooms.
I'm off to Chicago tomorrow -- let me know if you can think of anything 'the powers that be' should know about.

I just watched a preview of the autoshow, and the news anchor was driving around in the HX with the person who's setting up the display. I WILL have pictures with that thing or else
I'll probably take an "extended" lunch sometime next week to go to the auto show. I'm only 10 minutes away from it.

Of course, I forgot the magazine. Somebody on here has to read this magazine. I can't be the only half-car fanatic that reads Automobile magazine.
I'll bring it in tomorrow, as long as I don't get more of my toys for my truck

The Tesla is amazing. Too bad it's 100k.
They also have an interesting article about GM's new hybrid drivetrain for trucks (GM or Ford, I think GM though) that has the electric motors built into the transmission rather then the engine compartment. Half of what they talked about was foriegn to me since I don't know much about trannies, but it was definitely worth reading.
