Hummer Guy Hummer News and Opinion from an experienced off-road instructor

GM may go forward with plans to build Cadillacs and Hummers in India. Right now the market is dominated by Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW, but experts say a ‘niche’ vehicle like the Hummer will do very well.

Recently it rained heavily in the Dallas area, which created a mess for some motorists. We used the nasty weather as an opportunity to test out the H3’s water fording capability. The owner’s manual says you can take 16 inches of water at 20mph, and 24 inches at 5mph. We …

H2 limousines are quickly becoming the most popular SUV-sized-limos, beating out Cadillac and Lincoln. Some stretch over 30 feet long and can seat over 20 people. They tend to go over better with the under-30 crowd, which “responds best to trendy, high profile, and pomp.”

One issue a lot of potential H3 buyers have is the availability of side-curtain air bags (or lack there of)…The good news is a new roll-over test center built by GM will help bring those technologies onto production lines sooner.

GM announced that for the first time ever anyone can get an H2 at the same special pricing that GM employees get. This is pretty cool since normally Hummer isn’t part of GM’s big promotions, but this time around the 2005 H2s are included. When you’re getting eight grand off, …

Most people think that soaring gas prices in the last year have hurt hummer sales. In fact, compared to this time last year, Hummer’s sales are up 68%. This is partly due to the newly released H3, but very few have actually been ‘sold’ or delivered. UPDATE: Hummer and Cadillac …

A Hong Kong toy company now has to pay Hummer 1.3 million US dollars for selling the trademarked Hummer in American Kmart and Toys-r-us stores.
