Yes, Hummer Is Officially Dead

what's so cool about the H3T?

My brother had his Hummer H2 SUT for a year and realized how impractical it is, no storage and 9 mpg on a good day. Not to mention the dirty looks from all the greenies, he's gonna get a Raptor which is practically a hybrid compared to the Hummer.

I always liked their dealerships more than their trucks. Can I get a dealership building with 0% financing? Just add a couple of bedrooms and I would have the ultimate garage!

Just change the nameplate on the H3 to GMC H3. Just as well get some more return on investment on the already paid for tooling.

I am biased against SUVs to start, but when I saw the 0-60 times and top speed for the H3 (don't know if the 5-cyl is the only engine it has, but i don't care), i laughed.

I mean, at least the big ol' SRT8 (no offense to jeepsrt) can run circles around my G37 and is worthy of the big engine and gas consumption (to some degree). So I am also bewildered at the "cool vehicle" comment by insideline.com like alman08 ... Don't Wranglers dominate the "off-road" scene anyway, for a lot less $ and lot more history? Whatever. It's dead.

... and good riddance. Starting the Hummer brand personified GM's "big SUVs forever" thinking beginning in the late 90's that was largely responsible for leaving them unprepared for the shift in market demand to hybrids, crossovers, and to smaller cars in general.

DLu, I'm bewildered at the importance you place on top speed and 0-60 for a vehicle that emphasizes off road capability.
As long as it does 0-60 mph at around 12 seconds or less and has a top speed of over 90 mph, it's going to be fine for on road traffic.

Of course Edmunds thinks the H3T is a cool vehicle.

It seems like Edmunds main criteria for any vehicle nowadays is if it can be used to move a whole bunch of boxes from a storage unit to a garage. That rules out most cars.

It would be nice if they got back to discussing how cars actually drive. Go figure.

@moparbad,

I would argue that, especially in urban traffic (I don't live in the country, but I hazard a guess that most of these things live in cities), merging onto freeway traffic etc. with that Tercel-like acceleration is very annoying and probably a bad -- even dangerous -- thing.

I would also argue that, the few percentage of owners who actually venture off road, it happens only a few times a year. Many SUV's that have off-road prowess are better at almost everything else. Just because it's good at something doesn't mean that it's okay to suck at many other things. Anyways, who cares, it's dead.
