Despite numerous rumors on the contrary, Hummer recently announced to its dealers that it will be introducing a new, smaller model designed to compete against the Jeep Wrangler. Hummer executives refer to the vehicle as the HX, although it’s expected that the vehicle will actually be called the H4 to fit better with Hummer’s current H2-H3-H? naming scheme.
Martin Walsh, Hummer’s General Manager, told dealers at the annual Hummer All-Dealer meeting in California that the small Hummer will arrive in dealerships in 2010 or ‘11. The vehicle will first be previewed as the Hummer HX concept car. A few select dealers were invited to see the concept car, which is a thinly veiled version of the production car.
Hummerguy.net, an enthusiast website, reports that the smallest Hummer concept will be a two-door with removable doors, fender flares and roof panels, much like the Wrangler. The roof panels will be individually removable, a feature first offered on the ‘07 Wrangler.
Unfortunately, GM hasn’t released photos of the new H4. We’re told that the front end is distinctly Hummer in appearance, despite the Jeep-esque features.
BFD. In the link below a Ford Model T with tech from over 80 years ago kicks an H2’s butt in a hill climb. Freakin badass Hummer … yeah.

Sounds too much like a Jeep Copy- It wouldn’t be bad for Hummer, this is what they’ve been looking for. Produce it with a V-8 and V-6, cylinder de-activation, being capable of running on alternative fuels and market it that way in the mass media, and it could be a success. Another variation that would be nice to see is a diesel version, and to keep the eco-weenies from screaming at Hummer, even make it compatable with bio-diesel.
i love the idea of a wrangler like h4, who xxxxing cares if somebody thinks its a copy of something else, jeep has been copied by the best in the industry (land rover abd toyota to start with). i think the h3 would look bad ass as a 2 door and hope the h4 fits that bill.
The hippie family : Daddy, Mummy, Big Brother and Little Sister. Daddy would chain himself to an H1, Mummy to an H2, Big Brother to an H3. Now the Little Sister can chain herself to a Hummer as well with the rest of her family thanks to the all-new Hummer H4.
its just too bad they stopped making the real Hummer, the H1.
Blah… i want my H14 that competes against the Honda Fit.
Jeep needs to be usurped, they have been resting on their laurels too long.
id buy one!
You’ll never believe this, but a few months ago, I saw a Hummer with DIRT on it!
I’d love to drive an H2 or H3 out in the swamps for about a half-hour, but I’m not interested in owning one. Glad to see them on the road, giving those civic and Miata drivers hypertension!
Jay: I agree, i wonder if Chrysler can sue for the jeep look
rey323: You gave me a chuckle
JACK HEAD TO STODDARD VALLEY AND WATCH THE HUMMER CLUBS IN ACTION, YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED WHAT THEY CAN PULL A TRAILER THROUGH.
A litle competition never hurt the consumer. More options means lower prices and future improvements to all lines. GM will try to win new customers while Jeep will build better products to keep existing customers. Its a win for those of us that like these little weekend fun vehicles. Now if LR could bring back the Defender I would buy another one in a second. They run forever with no problems.
Shouldnt gm sue for the unlimited looking like an h3 then?
but whats that matter to people who never go offroad.
Jack, you’re a liar. You never saw a Hummer with dirt on it. How gullible do you think we are?
Who cares wheres the news about IOWA banning HID/LED light systems on automobiles?
Hummer is one of the last untainted brands. The H4 should be a great addition but I hope that it stops there. I’ll rue the day when I see brand new Hummer crossover SUVs or AWD wagons on my lot. In my opinion, that’s where Jeep lost its way. This is an exaggeration, but if Hummer winds up competing with Subaru for sales, I feel that it’ll be safe to say that the company missed it’s mark.
Bryce, I’m with you with liking the current Hummers. I wish they would just add hybrid diesel engines instead of making them smaller. But Hummer cant compete long term if they dont expand their line to the H4 and beyond. Large trucks are fast becoming not a viable option for most consumers. This has already brought the demise of the H1. Eventually Hummer will need to produce the SUV/AWD vehicles you dislike but the consumers crave. I’m sure if Hummer makes it look like a beefy Hummer you wont care that its an AWD SUV. Afterall the H2 isnt much more than a shortened suburban (same chassis). I’d bet you hated the H2 when it came out because of that but now you have grown to love it. As a dealer you should be more open to change otherwise you risk seeing your sales decline when the consumer goes elsewhere for what they really want.
Driven:
I understand the sentiment, especially when it comes to diesel engines. But I always liked the H2 and H3 and despised the angry response they received. I always say that if the H3 came first, the H2 second, and the H1 last, people would be praising the line for being so bold. But, instead, the company takes undeserved flak for all the soccer-moms and ‘gangstas’ that buy Hummers. And the demise of the H1 was caused, in large part, by the end of the contract AM General had with the military. Sales were certainly diminishing, but the H1 Alpha was an exotic! The exotic market is different than the retail market. And that’s very impressive for a vehicle that saw only minor changes and yet increased pricing over 15 years.
sik59rt: agreed.
Add a diesel engine and this thing will rock…don’t, and it’ll tank. Your choice, GM.
Good…very good.
Maybe Jeep will get off their ****ing ass and fix their wretched quality control issues.
jeep is near end if they don’t fix their design and quality!!!
“Maybe Jeep will get off their ****ing *** and fix their wretched quality control issues.”
Yet people like you still buy Jeep anyway, so I guess they really can afford to ignore quality.
Great! Another hummer! That’s just what we all need! (sarcasm :P)
Deanster
Se pio meros tis Amerikis douleueis?
I think that’s gaelic for
…… “**** me, I’m a lowly brit who wishes he were born a scot, or
……. even higher up the food chain, like maybe a turk.”
GM has to pull the plug and just let it die.
$3/gallon will not allow this division to survive.
GM has to stop bleeding cash, and Hummer is a gusher.
Guys,
You think Burmanesski’s really dead? I’m ****ing creeped out over it….This is really tragic..Did anyone know him personally (long shot, I know)?
DeanTJ
p.s.: Don’t respond with stupid profane comments, everyone be civil for a minute.
亲吻您拉屎吃猫的我的驴子
holy **** deanster are you serious? did his family post it here? wtf? that really sucks he was a good one to have here.
who is burmaneski?
Go onto the article about Bentley, one of his best friends posted the sad news. He left behind three kids and his wife. Once again I wish them all the best. Burmanesski sounds like he was a great father.
Bravo Deanster, ton karfoses kala…
thanks aston.
his poor family, judging by the conversations he had with all of us he was a good man, he had to be in order to put up with all of our crap. R.I.P. burmanesski, it had to have been a tough life coming from the ukrane, we are happy to have been a small part of your exhistance, thanks for the memories.
Deanster - You’ve pulled some pretty fast ones on people here, but I would have to say this is probably the lowest, weirdest, creepiest, I have ever seen on a forum. You are whacked. A real con. Yakiv Volodymyr Burmanesski? Just weird. First off, who in hell raids their friend’s computer and post messages on the message boards he’s been on? Do a search for this guy’s name, and nothing comes up on Yahoo or Google except the Bentley page. I’ve suspected “Burmanesski” has been you all along, but I will give kudos to Ricardo Head for cementing it. You simply can’t resist your childish profane antics no matter who you try to be on here. A Ukranian immigrant spewing profanities?? You’re an ass, and I think you’ve proven it once and for all. You are not a doctor, you do not have a doctorate, you do not live in Canada, and you did not complete a thesis on the environment. One thing you actually do though, is pathological lying. Get some help.
What does it take to ban someone’s IP address here?
All of these kinds of trucks are garbage and are very bad for Planet Earth. If Hummer wants to make a new model, the only Hummer that is a Hummer is the discontinued H1.
“Planet Earth”? You talk about it like it’s a person.

TELL THAT TO TOYOTA AND STOP BEING AN ASS. GO RIDE YOU SCOOTER TO THE VIDEO GAME STORE.
Piablo, Burmanesski could’ve told his friend to go onto his leftlane account and tell everyone about the bad news. I reckon its true. Just shut up and pay him some respect. Deanster is not Burmanesski, although both of them spoke in similar language, Burmanesski’s style was completely different. Why would he pretend to be dead anyway?
I sincerely give the Burmanesski’s my best wishes.
I think i agree with astin on this one piablo, deanster actually asked us to be civil for a moment. that is not his style and dont think he is so creepy that he had an alter ego and would go this far. all of my friends know i am a lln addict and they know i talk daily with people here so it is possible burmanesski and his friends sat down together at the same time and laughed about the insults, me and my friends do. so just in case i will leave this alone.
Aston - I sincerely hope you were kidding. I really can’t tell, so I will assume so.
In case you were actually SERIOUS, let me point a few things out to you…first off, if this guy died, explain to me how he could ask his friend to come on here?? Ouija boards?? Second, this idiot friend posts a date, then corrects it, ‘oops it’s a day later, my bad’?? And the real kicker… So the guy dies, at 7:30pm on the 29th, and his “friend” gets on the internet a few hours later, IN HIS ACCOUNT, to announce it on a car news forum??? Give me a break. Still a believer?
DeanTJ/Deanster/Burmanesski is not only a liar, but a really, REALLY, bad one. Apparently this is the kind of things nut jobs do at 3am.
But Aston.. Burmanesski’s dead, how could he tell his friend to get on the computer?
I’ll respect what was posted on the Bentley page, but it does seem like a big prank.
“All of these kinds of trucks are garbage and are very bad for Planet Earth. If Hummer wants to make a new model, the only Hummer that is a Hummer is the discontinued H1.”
Damn, you never quite with the half minded comments, do you sunshine1810?
First of all, the Hummer H1, regardless that it was a “gas guzzler”, it was produced in fairly small numbers, for enthusiasts. Compare this for a second…
Toyota Sequoia: 14/17 mpg
Toyota 4Runner: 15/17 mpg
Ford Explorer: 16/21 mpg
Ford Expedition: 14/19 mpg
Chevrolet Trailblazer: 15/20 mpg
Chevrolet Suburban: 15/21 mpg
Chevrolet Tahoe: 16/22 mpg
Nissan Armada: 12/18 mpg
Nissan Pathfinder: 15/20
Hummer H3: 15/20 mpg
Now that you have facts…
So now LLN is deleting posts. No bad language, they just don’t like the content. Interesting. Well as I said before in a short response, this guy supposedly dies at 7:30pm on the 29th, and this friend is posting about it on here at 3am a few hours later. It’s bogus, he’s pulling your leg. If the dude was such a good friend anyway, ya think he could have gotten the date right in the first place? LLN could easily verify IP addresses between “Deanster” and his made-up character.
Now delete this one too.
Sunshine is one of those losers who believes a toyota yaris engine to be exhilaratingly powerful.
I say we give Burm the benefit of the doubt.
Also I would like to add something about the comment by Burmeski on the Saab comment…
Somebody posted the comment by the name of Oleksandr Shevchnko…
Seems like a coincidence two Word cup UKR players *Oleksandr* Shovkovskyi and Andriy *Shevchnko* have similar names to that of the person who made the comment for “Burmeski”…
Anyways back on subject, I’d like to see a Hummer H4 that can run on bio-diesel or ethanol, and MARKET it that way…
Assuming Burmanesski is really dead, he was just a russkie polack anyway, not to mention a delusional creation of Deantj’s psychitzo mindlessness, as perhaps Assclown Martin also is, so who cares? If you retards wanna have a moment of silence and be tools of Deantj, knock yourselves out.
Actually, in a clinical psychological sense Burmanesski may really be dead, since apparently Deantj fades into and out of a variety of personalities all the time.
He died one hour after the accident. THAT MEANS HE HAD ONE HOUR TO TELL HIS FRIEND, PIABLO. CAN YOU READ/THINK AT ALL?
I shouldn’t be getting angry over this, Burmanesski wouldn’t like it.
Lets just stop arguing over a dead man’s body. Burmanesski wouldn’t like it, that’s for sure. Please, let us have peace in his honour.
anyways the multilanguage insults were a crackup.
i think i will burn a tire for sunshine 1810 later.
jJayC08 excellent post on the mileage figures.
LOL! Aston, I have to believe you are kidding. A death bed plea to spread the word in LLN. That’s good stuff.
Although, maybe something else is going on here and I’m misdirecting my distaste for DeanTJ, when it’s been Aston all along. Really, at this point, I don’t care. Whoever it is, your fable has been unraveled. Haha, weird joke.
For those who really did grow to love and enjoy the commentary of one Burmanesski, calling hours will be held here http://www.leftlanenews.com/forums/showthread.php?p=478#post478
at 7:30pm tonight. Enjoy.
When you get that tire burning, could ya cremate ol’ Spermesski’s rotting corpse on the damn thing? It’s starting to stink in these forums.
ack cough ack cough “my last wish is to tell the guys on lln im a gonner, my head trauma is bad, i see headlights in the tunnell, henry ford is calling me home” ack ack cough
Do we need cars like a Hummer?
i could use a hummer want to give me one, oh wait the car, the question should also include do we need cars like toyota fj , land cruiser and sequoia?
CTS Driver - I honestly will never understand the single minded hatred towards Hummer by these greenie weenies. It’s not based on real imperical facts, purely emotional. It’s a lost cause. It has a lot more to do with the luxury image and the whole “haves vs have-nots” debate. With that said, making fun of the tree hugging commie babies is much more fun!
The LLN death plea seems the only plausible theory, I’m not saying I would tell all you lot if I suddenly died…
Great. Another Poser-wagon.
PS, I’m not DeanTJ. I can spell and don’t swear as much in unnecessary situations.
piablo-yeah those tree huggers are emotional wackos, in the middle east they are called extremists, they base 100% of their flawed logic on the hate somebody else told them to hate, they have no real reason to hate hummers other than they dont like them. there are a lot worse polluters out there than a hummer, the hummer just burns alot of gas, how much co2 is released by their smog exempt 1964 vw minibus`s with flowers painted on them? have you ever ran across one of those silly rainbow gatherings, holy crap those hippies are insane. i bet the amount of pot they smoke outdoes all h2`s on the planet. and wtf about the h3 it shoud be good for the hippies (if they had jobs)it gets toyota gas mileage and could haul all the hippies and tree spikes they needed way out into the old growth forests.
jJayC08: Check your “Facts” again.
2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD: 17/21
2009 (next gen.) Toyota Sequoia: 16/20
You should really check your facts CAREFULLY before you post, sir.
Have a nice day.
On the way home tonight I nailed a speed bump and thought to myself how much the suspension thud sounded like Spernanesski’s head when I cracked it open with my ATV.
Stupid slavic polacks never learn to get outta the way. They’re too busy making kielbassa and cabbage.
flame me if you like, but I’ll pass for a 4runner or LC…
The new Toyota Sequoia isn’t out yet- I haven’t even heard news of it being redesigned, let alone any pictures besides a few spy shots.
Let me correct myself- About.com has it posted as 15/18 mpg for the 4X4 Sport, one mpg better in the city than my “mpg bulletin”. Real world tests all the way from Yahoo to Carspace report anywhere between 15.5 mpg and 21.2 mpg (those being the worst and best I could find).
LMAO! Death at the hand of RicardoHead’s knobby mud-filled ATV tire. A fitting goodbye for the Ukrainian who killed 12 or 14 soldiers on the battlefield, for whatever side he fought for. If he’s lucky, his last breath drawn was filled with the thick blue smoky aroma of the high revving 2 stroke engine as it powered over his fake fictional head.
CTS Driver - The “hippie’s” hypocrisy has no end. How about all the old Volvo wagons running around dripping oil? Funny how they pick their vehicles. I never understood the draw to Volvos. I’ve seen a few gatherings living so close to DC. I marvel at the trash left behind. Apparently Mother Nature is expected to clean up after them. My favorite recently is the hurricanes and global warming. Not only are many hurricanes a sign of global warming, but the absence of hurricanes is a sign of global warming as well! Who knew it went both ways. Remember the hippie libs creed: It’s not so important what I can do to solve problems, as it is far more important what everyone else should be doing.
Jesus Christ, guys, all of you shut the **** up and listen for a second. Especially you Piablo, you’re a ****ing tool today - totally off.
1. I’m not Aston MArtin. Trust me, I’m being serious here, I’m not in the mood to play games for once. Aston MArtin is a Greek guy from England, and I’m also Greek. I live in Canada, and we’re writing to each other in Greek, asking mundane **** like where do you work etc. Believe me, I’m not him
2. I’m DEFINITELY not Burmanesski. I don’t write like him, and I’ve had conversations with him that go on and on. Plus, our writing styles are totally different, and he posts **** in Ukrainian all the time. I don’t speak or even know anyone Ukrainian.
3. I don’t have multiple personalities. I DID fool around with that 6 or 7 months ago, I think everyone did it then and was posting stupid **** all day long. You could recreate someone’s screenname by putting a space before it. It was crazy, everyone was doing it. Anyways, that was then, and this is now.
4. I agree, why would someone log onto LLN and say they’re a friend? Why would the friend’s priority be to inform LLN posters (us) that he died rather than worry about things like funeral arrangements etc…?????
I don’t get it. Anyways, I’m really ****ing creeped out.
Another thing - I googled him, and got nothing. I clicked on the “Did you mean BURMANSKI?” and still nothing. I figured if this story is real maybe I would get a hit, maybe a community newspaper (”Man, 49, dies in ATV accident”) r something like that. No luck.
I’m actually unimpressed with the group - Aston Martin, insinuating I can’t spell (although I do swear unnecessarily) and Piablo going on and on. Dude, I know we’ve had our fights, and I don’t know you from a hole in the wall (you could be the nicest guy on the planet or a closet beastialist) but I’m ****ing totally rattled by this guy’s death (if it’s real) - I don’t like this bull**** people are posting, like “Spermanesski.” That’s really over the line, and probably nasty Karma.
How do you know I didn’t really crack Spermanesski’s cranium with my ATV or truck? I swear that thud was the same. Like a speed bump, only Spermanesski’s skull was a little softer than concrete. The freakin spot it left, though, was worse than a baked-on insect after a drive thru the Mojave. It took a while before I found STP Bug, Tar, and Skull Remover plus with a little elbow grease and a few underwear from the hamper in lieu of rags and the spot was gone.
Deanster, I know you’d like me to send you the filthy skivvies for posterity’s sake. When you fly to the Ukraine to bang Spermanesski’s widow (because greek broads aren’t hairy enough for your liking) then you can share my dirty, stained underwear with her as a mutual aphrodisiac. One sniffle and she’s all yours, from top to pelt-laden bottom.
Deanster, can you come up with something new for once? That tired dribble got old a loooong time ago.
And Assclown Martin, you’re Deantj’s psychitzophrenic “Englishman in New York” persona. You both are two tiny balls of the same limp shriveled dick.
I live in England, dickhead. By the way, every post you give me is yet more evidence that you’re right in the middle of puberty. If you can’t act a bit more maturely, then go away.
Ricardoheadgiver,
You’re a special little fat American prepubescent knobgobbler. Why don’t you join the “armed” forces and end up in some basement in Nasrallah sucking some Iraqi **** moments before they behead you and send the tape to your whore-mother?
I’m going to Hell for laughing at this stuff!
1487_GM_SALES is in every topic but hardly in GM topics. i on the inside even he dont like em
Ok so I go to the Ukraine for four f@#$ing days to take my kids to my sisters and i look under the saab comments and some xxxer gets into my user name and puts down i am F@#$ING DEAD. When i find you im going to take a .22cal and shoot your fingers off one by one, I had to change my pass word because of this. First of all i don’t even own a ATV I don’t even like ATVs i like dirt bikes, and Yakiv (ukraine for Jacobe or Yaki for Jake)isen’t even my name it’s Aleksander, and also if this guy (with a Russian name not a Ukraine name) knew me he would know my last name is really Bumanski and i have no long time friends from Russia or Ukraine they all died in the 1979 invation or forgot who i am. Also wouldn’t there be a thing in the news about me if i cracked my head open. I know alot of you think this is just all a joke some persons made up life but it isen’t and i can even prove it. My daughter has her own website check it out so i can prove my life isen’t some persons joke you can look at everything there but i am sure she has an old war picture of my brother and i, and still if you all say im a persons made up life (and im not) you can’t stop me from leaving comments on this site i really like this site and i am not leaving just because some xxxx is trying to mess up my reputation. I am sorry to everyone that a F@#$ER messed with your minds but it will be tracing where that comment came from soon. I know a little bit about hacking.
my daughters web site is.
http://www.hoverspot.com/aleksandra
LOL! This is one weird world. Why does this not surprise me?!
There are just too many warped individuals out there.
Christ,
I went around telling all my friends about this scenario - they know how much I love this site and they thought it was strange how I was so shook up over it.
Anyways Burmanesski, good to have you back.
Burmanesski,
Lovely daughter! KEep her away from Piablo, you know that guy is a convicted pedophile!
At least I’m not a ZOO-krainian beastie-boy dream-figment of your psychitzophrenic imagination, Assclown “Deanster” Martin. BTW - love the Aveo reference in your hoverspot for the fictitious daughter of your fictitious polack buttbuddy… GM_Sales owes you one for that (unless you are also GM_Sales, in which case you owe yourself a handjob).
Piablo, don’t forget to tell your mother you love her. Whores need love too!
lmao!
wow i dont know what to think, burmie if this is all seriously not the weirdest joke ever, glad you are alive, kids need a father.
