The new baby Hummer-Hummer h4

Hummer h4

The new baby hummer is on its way. Many rumours have been spreading around the world about upcoming hummer mainly as the General Motors have not yet announced details of the same. Even the name is not clear. Many call it the Hummer h4 as it is the descendant of the previous hummers: h1, h2, h3. Hummer h4 is proposed to be under construction at the GM Hummer division. It may be released in 2008 or 2009. It should be an SUV for city traffic. although this may change by the time it appears around 2010 – it will give the Hummer brand a vital weapon in the United States against premium-priced compact Sport Utility Vehicles. This is a much smaller model. H4 is only the name that is proposed that the company will put to match with the older versions H1,H2,H3. The vehicle executives call the hummer HX. The vehicle will first be previewed as the Hummer HX concept car. It will be more fuel efficient compared to other hummers. This will be a good advantage as the the other hummers are have this disadvantage that they are not at all fuel efficient. It will have unparalleled off-road capabilities and like other current Hummers it would be recognizable from a distance. The HX was designed by the newest designers David Rojas, Min Young Kang and Robert Jablonski. It uses E85 bioethanol, and opens up to it through two removable roof panels.

It will be something like this
