What do you think of Hummer coming to Oz?

I saw a Hummer on the Central Coast (Wyong) on the weekend and looking at a photo of a H3 I'd say it is thae same vehicle I saw.

Must say it (still) looked quite wide which would be a problem on a lot of tracks.

H3 has a normal wheel track width.

The H3 is smaller than a Ford Territory.

Before you bash something, get some info :)

The H2 is bigger and won't fit our 4wd tracks, but so is an F100 Ford and the rest of the F series.

So you needn't be concerned any more.

I dont think it will be a hit but should sell a small amount just for the pure looks factor...if that's what takes ya fancy.

As another happy Jack owner, I too would like to seriously consider the Hummer.

There will be a diesel which will be fitted with the 3.0 litre Isuzu engine as in the latest Rodeo, 115kw or thereabouts. Still a bit under powered I feel but will be much easier on fuel than the petrol. The diesel is already being sold in Spain and England, but will not be sold in the USA. That's because GM is still smarting over its diesel disasters of the 1960s, and most Americans won't touch them. Partly because they have had dirty diesel like us so only crude engine availablity and partly because they don't need to due to dirt cheap petrol (until recently)

The 3.7 litre petrol is way better than the 3.5 according to a poster on a US forum who had one as a loaner while his 3.5 version was being serviced for something or other.

As you say Sand Man, the big crunch will be the price GM decides to ask for it.

If the diesel manual with adventure pack comes in at $54990 I will probably buy one, since there will be nothing else available with the same transfer reduction and 33s. If they start at $60,000 for a basic one and then want to go higher for the options, it will be ridiculous. The diesel will be 3 months behind the petrol, according to one dude at the stand at the show.

The one they had at the show was an auto with adventure pack, which is not a combo available in the USA - there it's manual only for the off road version.

I preferred the music in the pro-Hummer video.

Jeez - they're all wallies aren't they?

"Gas Guzzling" LOL Who has been Americanised now?????

I thought Australians used Petrol?????

They did and they didn't sell, remember the Holden/Chev Suburban, well the Hummer is the same vehicle, it's what the Hummer is based on, a Chev Tahoe.

Holden is hoping that this time it will sell, and if the one at the show is anything to go on, then heaven help anyone who buys one cause there ain't anywhere to put gear.

forgot to add:

people are buying 500 sqm blocks with 1.5m distance between the wall and the fenceline now .. so it's probably in line with the trend ... roflmao

have fun

Yes it is a HUMMER a H3 HUMMER........ yours is a H1 HUMMER, it's called going to a new model albeit not much improvement, "they still have leaf springs"

Like most american cars they are still built for the 1970s

sorry you missed the point ...

it was meant as : "That's a knife !!" .. understood ?

it has the name .. right .. but thats it :)) ...

its like like buying a Porsche 940 when you cannot afford a 911 ...

not that I ever said that a H1 makes sense .. or a 911 in Australia for that matter

have fun
