The yellowhummer HUMMER H3 alpha will be showcased in Dresden, Germany, at the upcoming H3 MEGA ROAD OFF FESTIVAL.
Fitted with a compressor, the yellowhummer HUMMER H3 alpha will have more power than the standard HUMMER H3 alpha version.
2009 Hummer H3T
It's not often the relatively low-volume Hummer brand adds a new model. But that's exactly what the GM division has done for the 2009 model year, with the debut of the H3T pickup.
The H3T has a longer wheelbase than the H3 -- offering a more usable bed than the one found in the H2 SUT -- and its bed offers 5 feet of usable space. The H3T also features a standard bedrail system
General Motors is already having meetings with its dealers regarding all the possibilities for its HUMMER brand. According to reports, there are several companies interested in making a purchase of the military-inspired vehicles, though Tata Motors now appears uninterested despite earlier reports. One suitor is said to be Mahindra & Mahindra, the Indian company that plans on making a big spla

Have you ever seen any cars climbing a vertical wall? Well, you can find it here… We know actually that Hummers were built to go pretty much anywhere, but have you ever seen a Hummer climbing a vertical wall? That’s really impressive.
The continual grousing over fuel prices has earned the HUMMER brand a place on consumers' fecal roster. There's nothing wrong with what HUMMER has on offer, other than the fact that large, off-road capable trucks make terrible commuter cars, and the idiots misusing their H2s for tasks better suited to Cobalts are finally wising up. This re-thinking of emetic consumption has sent HUMMER sales down

GMs massive Hummer SUV has drawn much of its popularity from its percieved relationship to the US Army's HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle), developed and manufactured by AM General. The Humvee is clearly a very competent off-road vehicle and weapons platform, but it's hardly suited for everyday civilian use. The same can be said of the Hummer, too, even though it hardly has a sing
General Motors has announced that they are closing four truck plants and may completely drop the Hummer line of vehicles completely.Faced with soaring gas prices and a shift in the habits of the American car buyer, General Motors felt they were forced to make some major changes.General Motors said that they will shift some of the production into cars, which are typically much more fuel efficent th
These recent days events truly represent a profound watershed. Since the early 90s when gas used to cost less than $1 per gallon, Americans have become obsessed with SUVs, bigger is better. Carmakers not only helped cause the boom but have continued to supply those cars and profit from them. None more [...]

Prius: As Obnoxious as a Hummer? a dyed-in-the-wool enthusiast, I find superficial excess repulsive in whatever form it takes.

But it wasn’t until the second-generation Toyota Prius became the darling of the Hollywood left and the

Arthur and I were at 3 different events last weekend. At the first of these, we supplied a number of attractions for a private party just North of Newcastle upon Tyne. The estate was absolutely stunning, and must be one of the most impressive private homes we have ever operated at. After setting everything up, the transit van and trailer we were using sank in the soft ground. After 2 hours of trying to dig it out and extricate it using skidmats we were well and truly stuck. Just then the estate owner walked up, dropped a set of keys in my hand and said "I'll leave this with you lads."
As he walked off I spotted the vehicle he had left us, an American Hummer, the smaller version of the American military Humvee off roader. When I say smaller, its all relative, the Hummer was smaller than s

Remote Control Hummer.The "ultimate boy toy" a unique vehicle is like something out of James Bond. It's the work of James Brighton from Britain's Cranfield University who has converted a full-size Hummer H3 into a remote controlled toy. And what's more impressive is that the car can climb a 16-inch vertical wall & operate in up to two feet of water. The England's Sun tabloid did a test drive & journalist driver lost control over the vehicle which is worth £34,000 or $68,000 (USD). Then again these are the toys of super-rich who have enough land to race one around on & buy another one just in case.(Image: Credit).Other Posts:Coffee Art.Origami Art.Ads Using Poles.Funny Road Signs.Interesting Vehicles From Russia.

Hummer H3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Hummer H3 SUV is a vehicle from General Motors' Hummer division, introduced in 2006.

The Hummer HX concept is one truck that I would love to see make it to the showroom floor without getting smoothed over by the penny pinchers at GM. Designed to be a Jeep Wrangler competitor, the HX features a 3.6-liter SIDI E85 FlexFuel engine, four wheel drive, a six-speed automatic transmission, and a modular roof that can be opened convertible style. Considering the fact that the styling isn’t too far off when compared to the current H2 and H3, I can only hope that this is a nearly-there preview of the H4 to come.

Producer of large all-terrain and military vehicles Hummer have produced this concept to gauge whether it can tap into the long established Jeep Wrangler market.The design is clearly part of the Hummer family but the HX has a modular roof panel arrangement which gives options ranging from a convertible layout to a fastback coupe in the style of the new BMW X6.The 3.6 litre V6 engine powers all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission and front and rear locking differentials. All that should mean that the HX is a capable off-roader while the youthful styling would attract those living the California lifestyle. The Hummer HX makes its debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit today.
