2010 Hummer H2/H2 SUT: If the Tengzhong deal goes through, production of the H2 is expected to resume during the first quarter of 2010. Last year, the standard 6.2-liter V8 became compatible with E85 fuel, a token green-friendly measure that has been gaining a little traction thanks to similar moves by such paragons of environmental friendliness as Bentley. Captain's chairs for the second-row seats became available at the same time.
2010 Hummer H3: For 2010, the H3 Alpha's 5.3-liter V8 comes with variable valve timing and also is compatible with E85 fuel. This 300-horsepower power plant is what you want if your idea of driving a Hummer is cruising down the freeway while towing a boat, but if you're in tune with Hummer's dirt-bashing heritage, then you want the H3 with its 239-hp 3.7-liter inline-5. Though the H3 started life as a harmless Chevy Colorado pickup, the chassis and drivetrain enhancements made by Hummer have made the H3 better in the dirt than any Jeep Grand Cherokee and nearly as good as a Jeep Wrangler. There are three new exterior colors for the 2010 Hummer H3: Canyon Metallic, Silvertone Metallic and Red Rock Metallic.
2010 Hummer H3T: All-new for 2009, the Hummer H3T is the pickup version of the H3, an idea that seemed really snappy when it was introduced as a concept vehicle in 2004. Now that the idea of a pickup truck as anything other as a work truck seems problematic, the H3T's sales potential seems problematic. And you have to say that the addition of a 5-foot cargo bed on a wheelbase that's been stretched 22.3 inches makes the H3T a little problematic as a rock-crawler like the Jeep Wrangler. But if you choose the H3T Alpha with its 5.3-liter V8 (now E85 fuel-friendly!), then this truck occupies the same space as the recently introduced Ford F-150 SVT Raptor.
