Huh??? What do you mean the H4/HX is back for 2012??? Where are you getting your facts & information from??? Please provide us an internet "link" to your source of information pronto!!!

I can assure you the 2012 H4/HX will never ever be mass produced.
First, you need the Hummer brand.
Second, you need the Hummer brand to produce vehicles.
Third, you need the Hummer brand to sell vehicles in 2012.

Old News

Your only hope is to offer several pennies for one from the Transformers 2 movie. And at that point you are prob'ly going to have to drum up a VIN code. And if that goes well you are going to have to modify the bumpers to meet DOT specs... which is also why civilians can't buy a HMMWV.

You might have a better chance of getting the 2011 Hummer Wee

Be glad the H4 is not being made. The Vehicross is famous for making it to production without being ruined for a reason. Most cars don't look nearly as good at the showcar version and the H4 was no HX or even VX. I saw it in the studio and between giving it a roomy interiour, normal sized tires and a low price it had definitely lost the magic. Stick with the VehiCross!

What does what I drive have to do with anything?

Ok; since "FlyingV77" refused to elaborate on where he obtained info on a 2010 Hummer H4/HX, I decided to google the internet in search of said info.

Apparently, there is a "rumor" that has just surfaced out of the Chinese/Hummer campground that the H4/HX CUV (Compact Utility Vehicle) may go into production in the 2012 timeframe. At this point in the game, it is still a "rumor" and merely people talking without substance. However, it does warrant us to monitor the ongoings & outcomings of this "rumor" to see how it eventually unfolds/materializes. I for one am extremely skeptical; and will only believe it, when I actually see it. History has shown that way too many concept's have never made it to full-blown production. Although a few have (i.e. the Isuzu VX and the Pontiac Solstice-- both were concepts that made it to actual production). In the meantime; I'll keep my fingers crossed for the H4/HX, but I have my doubts.

I would love to add a 2012 Hummer H4/HX to my stables which currently include prestine examples of a 1978 FJ-40 and 2001 VX. Make the 2012 Hummer H4/HX available in Velocity Yellow (from Corvette paint palet) or Synergy Green (from Camaro paint palet) and we'll have a winner!!!

Wouldn't that be dated and not updated until something is settled.

Oh boy... Which would come first:

1. An offical announcement on the Hummer website saying, "Hey, everyone! A miracle has happened and Hummer may/will not be phased out!!!"? ...or...

2. MSNBC and every other news org writes an article on an upcoming business transaction regarding the salvation of Hummer? ...or...

3. An extremely hard to find private website lists a 2 year old concept vehicle as back in the works from a dying company?

Please forgive my tone; I know I too allow logical thinking be overcome by wishful thinking from time to time... but IMO, this is silly. Don't get me wrong... I would LOVE if the HX were to be produced... I would also love to have a Playboy Playmate in my bed.

I can give you guys a little more info on this since I am a HUGE HUMMER fanatic. The HX was going to be produced by Tengzhong if the sale would've been finalized, but since the chinese government nixed the sale GM has been considering releasing the HX as a GM model. Thats right, a GM HX. Sounds stupid, I know. There has also been talk of continuing H3 production at some point as a GM model as well. GM has been flooded with mail from offroad enthusiasts who are upset that GM no longer has a viable offroad niche. We'll see what happens I guess. It is highly unlikely, but still possible someone could step up and buy the brand at some point.

H3 - thanks for that info. The way I understand it, even tho they had to nix the HX, the planned chassis was the same as what is still planned for the soon to be redone Colorado/Canyon - only shorter. I see GM potentially offering a shorter version of the C-twins as a CUV to compete against the FJ and the Wrangler, like what they had intended to do in the first place. There was already so much engineering put into the vehicle so it IS an affordable idea. My question is... is Isuzu involved with the upcoming C-twins like it was with the current model??? Cuz... we may have a new "VX" on the way... sorta.

DING DING DING DING!!!

Still don't see how that matters tho...
