Don’t forget that GM in the US isn’t doing so great at the moment and they may yet get someone to buy the Hummer brand from them. That could cast doubt on the future of the brand in Australia depending on who buys it. The Indians or Chinese look to be the ones who may get the brand in the end. But with out the GM support behind it and the small volume of sales in Australia it could mean the Hummer isn’t a good sales prospect for them and they may disappear from out market anyway. The cancellation of the Cadillac brand return doesn’t sound good for the other GM Premium brands (Hummer and Saab).

Ergonomics?? Who gives a rats buttocks about ergonomics. As long as it looks great and performs well on and off road and is comfortable, surely that ticks all the main boxes.
Arguably the best standard off road vehicle, its peer the GU Patrol has underinspiring engines too – until recently the outdated 4.2l turbo diesel, manual only, and the rev happy 4cyl 3.0TD with 4 spd auto – doesn’t stop it from being an offroad weapon & a finalist against the all new Landcruiser 200 series in the 4WD Monthly, 4WD of the year. Similarly the Hummer is one of the best standard off roaders – that could do a lot better with a V8 diesel or petrol. Surely a limiting marketing move to release it here with only the small petrol engine, but in a world full of imperfections & tree hugging environmentalists, the 5cyl petrol is a reasonable compromise.
Style wise, simply awesome. Can’t beat it for style. Looks like a mafia mobile – slick & mean.
A key factor will be the availability of aftermarket accessories such as ARB bullbars, a front locker and suspension kits to take them to the next level. And then there’s that missing turbo diesel ……

Come on yanks, stop sending us your 5 cylinder rejects no one wants over there and start sending the V8s with the big balls. That’s if you wanna see sales boom down here. I know at least 15 people my self that want a Hummer but refuse to waste money on a lousy 5 cylinder all show no go vehicle.

Hey TRL FIRE, can you please SPEAK ENGLISH, I can hardly understand what your saying, go bact to school where all the basic minded fans of GM – Holden and Daewoo lovers go to and learn how to type properly until then you don’t have the licence to drive or comment trash talk here…

I have heard that the designers next role is to build a house with wheels since the shed on wheels is such a bit hit.

Precisely Dlr1….anyone who looks past the shiny nice looking exterior of the H3 and at the stats on paper will see a heavily under powered quazi-4×4 that is all show and no go.
Meat Pies and whatever the rest of your name is; I don’t even think there would be an Australian made Bolt or wheel nut in that car…Go jump on the Holden-GM Brain-washed Bandwagon with the rest of ‘em

Finally a patially practical H3.

Sahame about the engine, 4speed auto and build quality.

Without its looks the only people who would buy one are the same people who bought cars like Ssangyong/Daewoo Musso Dualcabs!

Reckless1…Where on earth did you pull that crap from??…Actually..I know where…don’t answer that.
Bottom line. F Series Owns all over some gutless Inline 5 Auto that attempts to drag along over 2 Tonne of truck (even if it looks nice)…
Yea…Compare that to a Turbo Diesel V8….Right…the H3 Rocks my socks off…not.

Who is comparing an H3 with a F-series? They are a total different class.

Reckless1, you joking right? How is Ford on a terminal decline?

BM, I know you said comme and something about AU? Can’t read it.

By: Reckless1

Reckless1 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 23:32:59 +0000

The Ford nuts are crapping on about the H3 not fitting on the 4wd trails (which is rubbish), while admitting they love their F250.

The chance of an F250 fitting on the Hume Highway is slender.

Grow up, Ford boys, and realise Ford is in terminal decline in Australia. You will have to feast on GM, or choke on Toyota products, hahaha.

La jalousie est en effet un milieu pauvre pour fixer l’amour, mais c’est un milieu bloqué pour détruire son amour-propre. Pour les personnes jalouses, comme des dopant-monstres, se pencher au niveau le plus bas et à la fin inspirer seulement le dégoût et la répugnance.
