AS GENERAL MOTORS WORKS TO further broaden the appeal of its militaristically rugged Hummer brand, a key future product will likely be a smaller, more affordable vehicle that retains Hummer’s in-your-face styling and off-road capability. Clues to that future model go on display when GM unveils the H3T concept at the Los Angeles auto show later this month. Based on GM’s new Colorado/Canyon midsize truck platform, H3T is designed to be a youth-oriented luxury expression of a Hummer, with equal capabilities off-road, on city streets and on the open highway.
“Not all Hummers have to be big, not all Hummers have to be SUVs, and Hummers can be fuel-efficient,” says H3T and Hummer design director Clay Dean.
The regular-cab two-seater features a fabric rollback roof and a power rear window to create an open-air driving experience. The cab and truck bed are integrated as one unit, with the front of the truck bed accessible via side access doors. Underneath, H3T is powered by a 350-hp, 350-lb-ft turbocharged variable-valve version of the Colorado/Canyon 3.5-liter inline five, mated to a four-speed automatic. A four-wheel-drive system sends power to specialized 19-inch multitraction tires developed by GM, Nike and BFGoodrich.
I dunno about this, it looks kinda wierd to me.
