I wanted to turn in my H3 in November and get the new 09 with the front locker and highside rock sliders. Maybe if I get a raise I might be able to get some other extras like leather or the low crawler gear. Now it may not even be available. This just sucks. Ive been saving all my money just to be able to get a nice down payment so the monthly's will be affordable. This just sucks, I hate rick wagner. Wish Hoffa were around, none of this stuff would ever gotten this far with the non American cars.

I would had loved a H1 but parts are expensive and they cant go the same places the H3's can go. Plus you have to add the lockers (most didnt come with one). The diesels they put out leak and have all sorts of issues. And the good HHMV2's (single cab truck bed) are hard to find. This is my DD BTW.  Im just not or will be equipped to own a H1. And the H2's need lots of work to get to the level a 3 is at, but then if you got the money to buy a H2 finding a extra 10k to made it off road worthy probly is not a problem.

Once you drive it for a bit you get use to it. Now when I ride in other trucks I feel like Im gonna fall out. The high windows are functional. The doors are doubles sealed to not let water in and you can ford water rite up to the bottom of the window provided you have the snorkel on. If the windows were lower you couldnt go that deep.

I never cared for Hummer 4x4's..........personally I think they are overpriced junk.

Why spend $30,000 (or more) for somthing like that when I can spend half that for a nice 4x4 truck ..............and still have money to add lockers......tires...ect.

Owning a high price SUV............is just a fashion statment for many.

If I were to get one I'd want the H3T the one with the little truck bed.  I prefer my old Chevy but they really are not that bad and probably clean up a little better than the old Chevy LOL.

why should gm keep a line of vehicles that have lost over 50 percent in sales in the last year, and that's not including how much they have lost before from the gas crunch. Gm has dug their own grave, they are bleeding to death, and about to trip into it! Drastic times bring drastic measures. My personal opinion is that hummer destroyed itself from the inside. The original h1 was just plain bad ass. It was big and mean, and hard core military off road truck. It was never meant for the faint of heart, and that's the way a decommissioned military truck should be.

The h2, and h3 were marketed to the yuppie we are too cool for minivans crowd. Very few were bought by REAL off road enthusiasts like you, and that is a real shame. You can't pretend you are a hard core off road truck, when 99.99999% of them never leave pavement. In the end it has destroyed any chance of hummer redeeming itself, and will wither and die even IF the economy was stronger. People just aren't buying suv's to be cool, and real offroaders don't want to be called mall crawlers for buying a hummer.

I can also go on and on about how people felt when gm canned Oldsmobile, and it was the same thing. They destroyed the base by building cars that did not fit the history of the brand.

theBroken, while I can appreciate your love for the off-road in your Hummer. creepyjon has a good point. Maybe if more people had taken your outlook on the new Hummers the brand would live on. Maybe you can get a lightly used '08 when you're ready. If nothing else there should still be an abundance of parts for yours for years to come.

for what it caust for a  new hummer,  i could  bog  for  years  in my ranger.   and   it wouldnt be at the mall  ;D   maby all the other  countrys  that have are  jobs  can afford them  ==dnunno    its not  the  guys in here.  its  the  head honcho  at  GM and  Ford   and Chrysler.   that think the  job can be  else where and  we  will buy them here  ==no .   no one will loan you  any money  if your not working.  maby someone  should  tell them that.   and the olney way they should  be  bailed out is to  bring the  jobs back here.

i'd take a new dodgee Ram over a newer hummer (2&3)... IMO atleast it looks sweet... new hummers look like oversized hot wheels.   sucks they stop buiding them tho.. but if they cut it from loosing money then maybe it had to be done... chrysler not makin the PT crusier no more either.
