HUMMER Cancels Next Generation H3, Shelves H4

Filed under: Hummer News — admin @ 8:55 pm [/align][/align]

A couple days ago the Wall Street Journal was stirring the pot with vague statements about “killing off at least one future HUMMER SUV product.” It got our attention since the Wall Street Journal isn’t exactly known for publishing rumors. Details weren’t published immediately, presumably so they could check their statements for accuracy. After the facts were checked, this is what was published:

[blockquote]
“Recently, GM killed plans for the next-generation H3, a relatively-fuel efficient SUV that had been popular among U.S. buyers, and shelved plans for a sporty H4 that would have competed with the Jeep Wrangler.”

Rest of the story is over @ http://www.hummerguy.net/[/blockquote][/align]

MAYBE the Wall Street Journal has their facts messed up?

This may also be similar to the H2 announcement which we wouldn't reall see any affects for several years anyway if GM kept the brand. Time will tell us more...

That makes no sense. If they wanted to recoup anything from the investment they would build the brand as best they could. The H3T and HX would be brought to market to make it a more attractive asset to sell. If they were going to keep it and build it same thing. To shut it down is to throw away a lot of time and money. As a GM shareholder I would throw an absolute fit at the asinine notion that the brand is worth nothing. I have 4 Hummers and a Corvette. GM does that and I am through with them, their stockand their products.
I don't think the board would let them do something that stupid.

This can NOT be correct.
Where did The Wall Street Journal get its information from, the Priusleaf-lickers save the whales forum site?

Article quotes "Recently,GM killed plans for the next-generation H3".. Say what? When hasGM ever publicly stated that?? Sounds like BS info to me!

that doesnt make sense, the H3t is about to be sold and from what I understandit will have the next-generation v6/trans. etc. thats like dodge saying theyre not gonna make the challenger! there was a little good news in there when they said GM might get rid of pontiac and buick though!! Also Im confused as to which hummer guy or hummerguy from this forum runs that website, or is it none of them??????

Not just wishful thinking but I don't believe this to be accurate.
