I can't comment on the looks of the car, cuz it's all masked up, but the guy who was driving it said that it sucked really bad on regular roads, the handling is really weird and the car just doesn't feel right. However, he said on a dirt road it performs exceptionally well. The exhaust note sounds pretty cool, but it is still just a prototype.



I can't take pictures of it (I tried and got yelled at lol) It's not nearly as big and boxy as the H2, it's about the size of a Suburban or their abouts. Not much to look at though really because of all the black plastic **** they've covered it with.

So it's a quite a bit bigger then the h2?

It's not as tall, but easily just as long. It's maybe a little bit wider. The biggest difference I can see is that is not a box on wheels anymore, and will incorporate some curves in the design. Again it's just a prototype.

i hate how tall the H2 is....

That's a relative statement.



My first job during college my boss was at the sand dunes in Michigan during the original Hummer press release. He was in an International Scout and they paid him to go away because his $3000 piece of crap was passing them going up the hills.



Bring back the first one in 4 door hardtop, and drop in the 502 crate motor. Problem solved.

They just need to bring back the scouts. They are so bad ***. My cousin has one and he takes it to car shows without even washing it. He always places. Never first but he doesn't even have to try

No, you haven’t seen this model before. This truck is an all-new vehicle that GM is getting ready for 2003 production as a 2004 model. Call it the "li’l Hummer," as it will be the smallest of a planned lineup of three SUVs refined for civilian use. They’re all vaguely based on the design of the rugged HUMVEE military vehicle.



How small are we talking? Think Chevy S10 pickup truck small. That chassis, with four-wheel drive, will form the basic structure. Under the hood, this Hummer will most likely offer the new 260-hp 4.2-liter inline Six that‘s standard in the 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer/GMC Envoy/Olds Bravada. Or, GM may assign a new lower-power five-cylinder variant of that Six to the H3.



Note that the S10 chassis is a separate frame-and-body design, just the ticket for the tough assignments an ultimate SUV is expected to perform. Off-road will be where it shines. And heavy-duty trailer towing will be listed near the top of its resume capabilities.



For all the macho cues of its exterior appearance—no-frills grille, erect windscreen, external oil coolers, billet-like fender flares, bolt-on spare tire—the future Hummer will offer a highly civilized interior. Don’t look for the wide console down the middle of the floorpan that restricts seating, a la the HUMVEE. Instead, the passenger layout will be two-across/three-across seating with little intrusion from the driveline.



Up front, the instrument panel will be similar to the Chevy S10, and may even feature voice-activated communications systems, in case you get lost in the bush and have to call for help. Safety will be on a par with the pickup truck. Expect side-impact airbags and, possibly, side curtain airbags for protection during a rollover.



About the body shape, check this out. Those billet-like fender flares appear removable, just the ticket for prowling those narrow trails deep in the woods. The short cargo box can be lengthened—almost doubled—by removing a partition behind the rear seats and folding the seats down into the floor. Or, for the ultimate wind-in-your-hair ride, it appears that the entire roof can be removed.
