Hummer @ Dallas Auto Show—Not impressed
Went to the show this afternoon and was pretty disappointed by
what I saw. To be fair, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from these corporate guys, but it seems to me that the brand would have been better served by the local dealers. Lord knows Sewell and Classic Hummer’s show rooms and front displays out shine what Hummer corporate put together. Maybe 8 or 9 vehicles total. No new H2 interiors, no new H3 door panels, no new colors, no new vehicles….period….they all appeared to be ‘06’s. None of the H3’s even had the new door panels. Some of the H2’s were less than pristine…… All of the reps (at least the three I talked to) were from Argentina or somewhere. One of them actually stood in front of 30 people and stated the H3 got 20 mpg. Said none of the concepts they asked for showed up (open top, H3T, etc….) And… Man did the display look bare with no H1’s in sight…..Maybe that was it……. I guess I was expecting more than I should have…. Here was the one bright spot…..

I don't feel so bad now that I did not get to go to the one in Pittsburgh. One of the ramps fell in and they cancelled it.

Oh well, it was a nice afternoon anyway.....Got to sit in a Viper and a 130 grand Mercedes.
Ass'ed the drivers seat of a new 4 door Jeep (made me really appreciate my H3) Oogled the few concepts that were actually on site. Got to see a couple of Shelby Cobras and a few exotics. The new Audi super car is one bad MoFo. |
