    here is a little bit of HUMMER history! (not your history Bharat!)


    H1
    Hummer History! 38967

    Hummer's first SUV was intended more for the US military explaining
    its 2.2m body width, which Motoring found to be terribly impractical on
    Thai roads but useful on cross-country runs. California Guv helped
    promote the brand back then.
    H2

    Second, smaller model conceived more for road-use but still
    backfired in economy terms: three-tonne body and the same V8 petrol
    engines displacing over 6.0 litres. It managed to attract some buyers
    in Thailand as a fashionable alternative to the Range Rover and Toyota
    Land Cruiser VX100.
    H3
    Hummer History! 38969

    Hummer wants to go global, so its SUV must be of a sensible size.
    Hence, the smaller 3.5-litre inline-five engine and a kerb weight of no
    more than 2.2 tonnes, making it even lighter than Land Rover's
    Discovery. The H3 sells in Thailand like a Mini with sheer 4x4 attitude
    at some B5m.
    H3T

    Hummer attempts to expand the H3 range with pick-up bodies to make
    the overall business sounder. GM further acknowledges that more
    efficient models are needed - with hybrid powertrains, which 4x4
    exotics Land Rover and Jeep are also planning. Hence, the new Chinese
    owner.

    That's a nice information archit and bharat. I could see through various generations that the finish of the body has been improved and more soft edges are found and model by model they lose ruggedness, but the front end stands out leading to a good road presence.
