This is actually tiny, those are 16-inch wheels and it is based on the criminally underappreciated Suzuki X-90 chassis. We watched a kid drift-park the convertible version last week. Reply

@skierpage: As a trucklet, the X-90 is fairly useful and hilarious. As a car, of course, it's rubbish.

I've always wanted to build one like that - lifted, knobby tyres, skid plates...

"The H4 CUV is expected to be the production version of the HX Concept, which the Hummer off-roading community has been begging for since its unveiling."

I call BS on this. As if there is such thing as a "Hummer off-roading community." Everybody knows that Hummers don't really ever go off-road.

As much as the Hummer brand has come to be synonymous with conspicuous consumption, environmental ignominy, and general douchery, that H4 concept is one sexy beast. Reply

Even if this gets built to look just like the concept, and assembled to a high standard, I don't know that they'll find much of an American audience. There is an inherent contradiction in trying to sell a Chinese car to the kind of person who wants to buy a Hummer. Reply

@smalleyxb122: Isn't that the same contradiction on which WalMart's business model is based? They make this thing cheap and shiny enough, it will find buyers. Reply

@theart: I reluctantly agree with you. However, I think smalley has a good point if it were made more specific to the flag-waving H1 crowd. Reply

@Dhillaz 2.0: AM General. They only sold the civilian version to GM, so the new owners will not be involved in Military production. Reply

@Number_Six: With Hummer, it's more of a Compensation for the Underequipped Vehicle. Reply

Taking a cue from flight training, this is clearly the IFR coaching model. Reply

Image of Number_Six Number_Six 08/28/09

@Ash78: Why, because the old owners of Hummer have been "disoriented" or because the new owners are "oriented"? Reply

@Number_Six: I can't tell whether that was an "Oriental" pun, so I'm going to make it anyway. Reply
