Open Top H3 Hummer
January 17th, 2007
When looking back to the once and again military-only Hummer H1, GM has decided to cut a really big hole in the roof of an H3 and cover it with fabric. Unlike the circus-tent canvas top of the original Hummer, the Hummer H3 Open Top Concept is not a true convertible with a two-acre top, but an H3 with a merely half-acre cloth sunroof.
Considering that the top on an H1 wagon took a unionized four man team two hours (with one fifteen-minute break) to open or close, this might be the better idea of the two. Designed and built by ASC, the “Infinivu” sunroof that gives this H3 concept its name is a one-touch piece that spans the entire length of the vehicle.
Hummer Sales Increase
October 18th, 2006
HUMMER announced that its year-to-date sales have increased 53% so far this year, mostly due to the H3, the brand’s “smallest” SUV. As a matter of fact, HUMMER’s other model, the larger Tahoe-based H2 has seen its sales dwindle fast. In June, H2 sales were off 52.4% compared to last year, down 48% the next month, 24.3% the next, and off 11.7% last month. Meanwhile, the H3 was up 10.4% in June, up 24.1% the next month, up 10% the next, and rose 21.5% last month. As of September, GM had sold 12,562 units of the H2 (down 31.9%) and 40,381 units of the H3 (up 120.8%).
Hummer H3 First Responder Package
September 23rd, 2006
In emergency response, every second counts. It’s why the nation’s first responders choose a vehicle that can get them to the scene of an emergency quickly and safely, regardless of the terrain or weather. It’s also why HUMMER is first on the scene for these brave men and women with the exclusive First Responder package on the capable, midsize H3.
Between October 1 and December 31, 2006, when an active member of the fire and rescue community – volunteer or career firefighter or emergency response personnel associated with a fire association – purchases or leases a new HUMMER H3, the vehicle will include the HUMMER First Responder package at no additional cost.
