Hummer H4 — The Beach Blanket Hummer!
Would you look at this thing? I don’t know rather to laugh at it or run out and pre-order one for myself!
It’s a potential H4 Hummer — the Beach Blanket Hummer! And if GM decides to go into production with it, you can buy it at your local Hummer dealer by 2008/2009!
This from Autoweek:
A GM source confirms the company is looking for ways of making a small Hummer on its various sport/utility vehicle and pickup platforms. GM engineers and designers are working on the project, but a chassis for the vehicle has yet to be selected. One possibility is a two-seater, focused on the most rugged off-roading possible, similar to the Hummer dune buggy we illustrated earlier this year.
“It’s a matter of finding the right combination of rugged components and how we can package them into a vehicle smaller than the H3,” says the source. “The main design factor is that any vehicle with a Hummer badge has to be the most capable off-road, period.”
The biggest reason GM might be going with the Beach Hummer is to compete with the Jeep Wrangler.
Either way, it looks, well…new.
