RB30-POWER Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 sad thing is, i can see morons buying these things... it could only be as an image thing as they are crap offroad, the average land cruiser is better as a 4x4, sure hummer 1 had a purpose, but they shouldn't be on the roads and if your going to get a rice mobile 5 cyl hummer 3, why bother... just to prove the point, heres a vid for your enjoyment!

thorpe84 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 i reckon this hummer will be as top gear described the porsche boxter, it will be a car that says "look at me im driving a beast" but yet your life hasnt worked out to the fullest so you have to settle for the cheapest car in their line-up. or in this case, not a real hummer Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/140588-holden-hummer-wtf/page/2/#findComment-2623025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32gts-t Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Slightly off topic, i think this is more interesting. 2 turbos, v12, diesel, 5.5 seconds 0-100km http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_...audi-q7-v12.htm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/140588-holden-hummer-wtf/page/2/#findComment-2633101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rizza Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Slightly off topic, i think this is more interesting.2 turbos, v12, diesel, 5.5 seconds 0-100km http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_...audi-q7-v12.htm "The 6.0-litre V12 makes its debut in the Audi Q7, generating a stump-pulling 368kW of power (500bhp) and 1000Nm of torque and opens a new chapter in the diesel history books." Holy mother of god... Not only is that Ferrari F430 matching power, but (discounting the Bugatti Veyron) you're looking at the torquiest new car money can buy (equal with AMG V12s)!

IOWNU Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 It's not going to be sold as the Holden Hummer. Holden are simply importing them and selling them. They will remain the H3 Hummer. I actually like these "vehicles" lol. They are being imported as direct competitors to the Landcruiser, Pajero, Patrol etc. H3s aren't as massive as you guys think, they look bigger than they are due to the design (i.e, the designers wanted it to look like its bigger brothers), furthermore most people have a picture of H1 and H2 hummers in their heads...... Also all those complaining about the size, how do you deal with trucks, buses etc? They're a whole lot bigger! In terms of marketing you'll be surprised how big the 4x4 market is (although it has slown down a bit), the car is expected to be priced at approximately 55k, which puts it in a similar range as its direct competitors. Expect it to sell AND sell well. i reckon this hummer will be as top gear described the porsche boxter, it will be a car that says "look at me im driving a beast" but yet your life hasnt worked out to the fullest so you have to settle for the cheapest car in their line-up. or in this case, not a real hummer The same could be argued about GTRs, GTSTs or worse, GTSs. Faulty logic in my opinion, people have different applications for their money. Some people might just want a large 4WD and not a monster truck?
