She isn't dead yet! There's hope!

Mind you, I dont know if it'll mean selling a brand to a shady company or one that could give it life.... but there's hope of something.

If they do go under, I'd actually be really interested in picking up an H3 once the values plummet now that the frame on my Bravada is falling apart. Those things were much nicer than their chassis-mates, and in my mind it's the closest *real* incarnation of the S10 Blazer of the 80s/90s.

 

I’m not surprised by this at all but I am disappointed.

I loved the Hummer, especially the REAL Hummer (H1) – to me, Hummer represented success and excess and everything that drives the tree-hugging socialists absolutely crazy (and in my opinion, that reason alone makes me wish the brand would continue).

Alas, it’s not to be and one more Icon of American motoring passes into history.

RIP.

 

Check my posts in late December........this deal was supposed to die before the NAIAS...then it got bumped past the Chicago Auto Show.

The deal never was going to happen...but what do I know.

 

Only model I'll sort of miss from Hummer is the H3T Alpha. It wasn't perfect, but IMO a good step in the right direction. A next gen platform with a 6.2L V8 and 6 speed auto and incrementally stronger diffs, axles, suspension would have been awesome.

 

When you make enough predictions you are bound to be right some times.

 

There seems to be some strong animosity towards Josh452...every time he posts on this message board he gets insulted and ridiculed...what's the deal?

 

See PM for my personal take.

 

Well you were wrong about Saab and I think you are going to be wrong about the XTS not being on Super Epsilon. I'm not keeping score, but it is not hard to be 50/50 on these major predictions.

 

Actually I think the H3 needs to brought back as a GMC.

 

Another huge hit to the local economy here

 

That actually could happen. Styling wise, its not that far off from GMC's current trend. Pop a different grille on there and an updated interior when the Colorado gets an update in 2012. The driveline and suspension parts are already all tooled and taken care of, paid for and ready to go.

Personally, I'm a fan of the V6/M5 combination.

 

Make it public......You won't hurt my feelings.

 

They don't like that I actually know what I'm talking about and most here don't.

Just sayin'.......

 

I don't feel the need to derail the thread.

 

The IIHS is pushing for a stricter roof crush standard, plus on the same report, the Colorado didn't do so well on the side impact test. (I'm guessing the H3T wouldn't do much better). So GM is going to have to redesign all that. That will also affect the interior too, which would be good thing because IMO it needs more than just an update.


However, given GM's relatively tight budget, low sales of the Colorado/Canyon/H3T, and the current focus on cars, crossovers, and the full size BOF replacements, IMO it doesn't look likely the Colorado/Canyon/H3 is coming back anytime soon.
