Hummer HX Featured In Transformers 2?
All this time we thought that the Hummer HX concept was going to be in the next version of Halo, given its resemblance to the Warthog. But lo and behold, this HX appears to be some sort of character in the next Transformers movie. Maybe the HX can use its video recording feature to grab some video from the set and send it to us. Or would that be a copyright violation? Would they have to send a Chinese Malibu police car after us? Do the fake Chinese also not enforce intellectual property laws? More »

Detroit Auto Show: Hummer HX Records Off-Roading Adventures Directly to iPod
Despite its relationship to the Halo Warthog, the Hummer HX made a pretty big splash at the Detroit Auto Show. One of its coolest features is the front-facing camera that's integrated into the rear-view mirror. Throw in a docking slot to record your off-roading adventures directly to an iPod and you've got something quite cool, indeed. Sure, the HX is obviously very conceptual, but this is a feature that doesn't seem too farfetched. Of course, it's also a feature that may be destined to document tragedy, especially in this YouTube age.

Detroit Auto Show: Hummer HX and the Halo Warthog, The Final Word
I had a chance to talk with David Rojas and Robert Jablonski, the exterior and interior designers of the Hummer HX Concept with one question on the table: What's the link between the HX and the Warthog from Halo? The answer wasn't as clear as I was hoping. I couldn't get either of the twentysomething designers to admit that the HX was inspired in any least bit by the Warthog from Halo, but I think I can still make a case, even though GM has already openly denied any kind of a link between the two.

Concept cars are notorious for rarely making it to the street. But what about the enticing features that designers include in their dreamy visions of our automotive future? We combed through the files we've amassed at the show this week and come up with five features that don't stand a chance in hell of ever escaping the shimmering incubator of the world's design studios.

GM rolled out its Halo 3 Warthog doppelganger, the Hummer HX concept amid considerable pomp and circumstance around E85 Ethanol and other green technologies. GM's sales VP Mark Le Neve introduced the concept as a vehicle that'll get the kids to put down their Wii controllers and start climbing rocks IRL. No word on production plans, but we've been expecting a Jeep Wrangler/ Toyota FJ Cruiser competitor for a while. This may be it, though likely without the chain gun and plasma pistol.

All Your Embargoes Are Belong To Us — especially now that the folks over at HummerGuy have gone live with the embargoed information on the Hummer HX Concept. The Hummer Warthog HX Concept will be blowing into Detroit Auto Show this weekend like it was fired out of a missile pod or something. Seriously, we cannot make enough Halo references for this thing. Now that Hummer Forums released photos of the new Hummer concept we can tell you this concept is smaller than the H3 and is powered by an E85 FlexFuel sipping 3.6L SIDI V-6 that moves all four wheels for traction. Exactly what you want when climbing over rocks or vanquished foes. Press release below the jump.
