Hummer Guy Hummer News and Opinion from an experienced off-road instructor
According to GoAuto, an Australian automotive site, Hummer’s GM Martin Walsh has released details surrounding the launch of a new, smaller, Hummer. Walsh insists that the Hummer H4 would not compromise Hummer’s iconic design, or its commitment to off-road capability – “As we grow smaller, we must ensure that (Hummer) maintains these two characteristics.” “Our growth will be downwards in terms of size,” Walsh says, and adds that he hopes to sell and additional 30,000 to 40,000 Hummer units per year. They also mentioned a right-handed drive H2, but I figured you’d be more excited with Hummer’s GM talking about the H4!

no offence but urghhhhhhhh!, i wouldnt drive that, id be much more interested in a right hand drive H2, after all i am in the uk. BUT, yes theres a but, i have found a UK company that takes LHD H2s and makes them, yep, you guessed it, RHD!
IF it ends up being any smaller then the 2-Door Wrangler (I still can’t believe we have to distinguish them now 🙂 ) the H4 to me would be an oxymoron. Hummer and “small” don’t go well together, then again, nobody thought the H3 would go where it is now, and it’s here to stay.
I agree with your last statement, HG-HF. The same thing happened with H1 owners when the H2 came out, H2 owners when the H3 came out, and will continue down the line. I don’t think Hummer is as synonymous with ‘big’ as it is with ‘great off-road vehicle.’
I think a Wrangler-beater is just what the doctor ordered! Lets hope the H4 is made sooner than later!
