Hummer H3
Over
the last couple of years, Hummer has built up a reputation as one of America’s most
popular car labels. With its military past,
the Hummer was the car for the man’s man. Combining a tank’s durability with the features of a luxury car, Hummer
seemed to have perfected a type of car that was perfect for the car lover. Except there was just one small problem: Hummer’s
weren’t particularly good cars.
Although they were flashy and its size definitely grabbed people’s attentions,
Hummer’s weren’t particularly practical.
Cumbersome to drive, too large for excessive road driving, a major gas
guzzler, Hummer’s, although popular were in danger of becoming a novelty brand. To rectify this problem, Hummer has taken
great pains for its upcoming Hummer H3 series.
Although the new Hummer H3 is still going to have the same rugged
features of the Hummer H1 series and Hummer H2 series, there are going to be
some changes to make the Hummer H3 a more practical drive.
The new Hummer H3 series is one of the most anticipated cars to come out this
year, as it marks a great change in the approach of Hummer. Although, the Hummer H3 will be entering the
midsize SUV market, it will still retain its traditional blocky,
ultra-masculine exterior design. This
is because Hummer has built its reputation based on the rugged look of its car
and isn’t about to jeopardize car recognition because it is entering a new car
market.
Additionally, the Hummer H3 series will be built in beautiful Shreveport,
Louisiana. It will contain a
five-cylinder engine and will continue to fill Hummer’s promise of being a
capable off-road vehicle. Additionally,
the Hummer H3 will rectify a common problem found in the Hummer H1 and Hummer
H2. Gas consumption in the Hummer H3
will not reach the stratospheric heights of the earlier Hummer models. The Hummer H1 and Hummer H2 car’s capability
of $2-a-gallon gasoline made it a deterrent for car drivers with concerns about
gas prices, as well as the effect of gas on the environment. With the new Hummer H3, it is expected that
the car will get approximately 20 miles per gallon on the highway. This is great news for car drivers that love
the Hummer but can’t afford to be paying for gas every ten minutes.
Although
the price of the Hummer H3 has yet to be set, automotive industry experts
estimate that the car’s price will be within the $30,000 and $35,000 range. There are great hopes pinned to the Hummer
H3 within Hummer, as the car brand’s popularity has slipped. Although Hummer’s were all the rage just a
couple of years ago due to its unique, masculine look, its shortcomings and
general exclusivity has forced Hummer to look into other methods of staying on
top of the car industry.
Whether
the Hummer H3 becomes the great success that its creators believe that it will
be, it is guaranteed that the Hummer H3 will be big news this year. What the sales of the car will be can only
be positively affected by the unprecedented amount of hype surrounding the
launch of this vehicle.
