    Thoughts on Hummer Hx concept

    http://www.hummer.com/hummerjsp/home...o_hummer_brand

    Any thoughts on new GM consept? I am sure by the time it will be available (if it will be available) they will change whole bunch of things to cut corners. I loved my VX because it was unique and as close as you can get to the concept.
    Possible thoughts:Like it, dislike it, will consider as substitude/addition for my aging VX. I personally like it but have mixed feelings about the steep angle of the windshield.

    I like it however, the target that they are shooting for (jeepers) will not like the front and rear independent suspension. They should have thrown some big beefy 1 ton (or bigger) staight axles under it! It will ultimately become just another over priced grocery getter that see's only a small percentage getting any off road use.

    Your Poll question is misleading? Like it? Dislike it? Neutral? OK, I like it, but...

    "substitute for my aging VX" -- NEVER!!

    I would pre order one right now if they woulp swap at least one solid axel in there and promise it would stay looking exactly like that.

    ...The rear visibility is almost identical to ours in that version of the concept.

    Talking

    i love it, but needs better axals, and bigger real hummer tires, not that crossover look that the rear seems to have. and yes i also agree if they keep it the same way, then i'll buy 1 and have 2 2 door off road monsters, a Hx and the best of all offroad monsters, our lovely VX, Hmmmmmmm i think that would have a beatuiful look in my garage, when ever i have a 2 car garage, lol .

    I like the Flexfuel E85 V6. I have to say, I really hate the hummers, except for the H1 military grade. But this HxConcept is looking mighty cool. I guess it comes down to, How much will they keep in the production version?!

    Thumbs up

    I likey!!! I could have a Vx and Hx garage... Hmmmmm Just call my garage the X factor... tee hee! Could it be the similarity in names that intrigues me??? It would have to stay just as shown in the concept though... the VX is nearly identical to the concept. Let's hope the Hx stays the same way. It's gonna be waaaaay to pricey for me though...

    I like it but:
    1) I wouldn't substitute it for the VX
    2) It wouldn't make sense for me to have a 2nd 2 door vehicle
    3) It's a Hummer
    4) It looks so big for what it is

    Cool design, but I'd rather admire it from afar and not in my garage.

    Apples and Oranges

    I will agree with whoever said the question is misleading.

    Yes, I like it. I'd buy it if I could, and I'd outfit it like my VX.

    No, it will not replace my VX.

    If the VX met an untimely death, was at the center of a catacylsmic meteor strike, accidently rolled out of a parking space into the center of a ground level nuclear test, was abducted by a jealous alien race, then as it's replacement, rather than stealing one of y'alls VX, if I couldn't find one in need of a good home, then yeah, I'd replace it with this.

    Gunmetal gray, Arrest-Me-Red, or black. Gray interior. While I'm dreaming, $1,000,000 to deck it out (by some VX's in need of a home), pay off my debt, and get some things done around the house.
