Hummer’s Cool But Jeep’s O.G.

Written by steven on March 1, 2008 – 4:56 pm -

In “Hummer HX - Tougher Than the Rest“, we spat mad sh- about the prototype Hummer X. Somewhere between a Monster Jeep and an FJ Cruiser. Well, we’ve reconsidered that “Tougher than the Rest” headline. First of all, its a damn prototype. Secondly, we doubt its tougher than this Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4×4 doing Gangsta duty in Moab. (It also doesn’t hurt that “Hell’s Bells” is playing loudly in the background)

Hummer HX - Tougher Than the Rest

Written by steven on February 27, 2008 – 1:22 pm -

If you laugh at Jeeps, mock Landrovers and have been unimpressed with the latest Hummer SUVs, you may be in for a treat.  The Hummer HX is the most sporty, ruggedly bad-ass Hummer ever.  Unfortunately its still a concept, but we’re pretty sure its going into production.  The Hummer HX Concept has full-time 4WD, 35-inch tires (gulp, we’d need a ladder to get into it), advanced front suspension, and sippin’ on E85 FlexFuel with a 3.6L SIDI V-6.

Like less expensive rival Jeep, which we do not disrespect at all when it comes to off-trail SUVs, the Hummer HX has removable roof panels, doors, fender flares and a modular rear roof assembly that can be removed so that you’re left with a true SUV convertible.

Our only concern is the FJ-like height seat to roof - judging only by the pics, it seems quite short, yet the 35-inch tires are quite tall.  We’re guessing a short guy is best, but he’d look like a dork climbing into this thing, yet a tall guy might slip easily into the seat but be annoyed with the low, sporty ceiling height. Does that make it a dud for you or is this Hummer HX an ill whip?
