HUMMER Announces 2007 H3x Pricing

DETROIT -- People seeking a HUMMER H3 with a customized appearance, straight from the factory, can soon add a new H3x to their garages. The first H3x models will arrive in dealerships in the United States and Canada in August, with a price of $38,065.

The H3x is based on the “ H3 Street ” concept vehicle shown at the automotive industry’s annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in November of 2005. It was created for consumers who want to make a personal style statement and differentiate themselves from other H3 owners.

The $38,065 price includes standard equipment such as full-time electronic four-wheel drive and GM’s award-winning OnStar safety and communication system, plus HUMMER’s premium four-year/50,000-mile warranty plan.

The H3x begins with an H3 equipped with the Luxury package, chrome tube steps, chrome appearance package, a chrome fuel filler door and bright roof-rack crossbows. The package also includes a body-colored grille and hard spare tire cover, 18-inch chromed wheels with a custom center cap, and a squared, chromed brush guard available only for the H3x. The interior features front seat headrests embroidered with the H3 logo.

Consumers can further personalize their H3x with one of nine exterior colors. Two of those colors are new hues that are exclusively available on the H3x model, Sonoma Red Metallic and Desert Orange Metallic. Both exclusive colors nicely highlight the vehicle’s many chrome elements.

For 2007, H3x and H3 both receive a new engine: the Vortec 3.7L I-5 with dual overhead cams and variable valve timing. This inline five-cylinder engine offers an excellent combination of power and efficiency, delivering 242 horsepower (180 kW) at 5600 rpm* and 242 lb.-ft. of torque (328 Nm) at 4600 rpm. Also new for 2007 on all H3 models, including H3x, is standard Stabilitrak on all models, whether they feature a manual or automatic transmission. H3x buyers can select either transmission.

The H3x is scheduled to arrive in dealerships in August 2006.

Um... why? How about a proper engine instead of a $8K cosmetic pack?

What is improper about 240+hp/240+lb-ft in this segment?

Whats wrong with it? The H3 weighs more than a tugboat onboard which is a bed on which Cameron Manhein is having sex with Abe Vigoda and Chris Berman.

Why does that image remind me of how an Avalon looks from behind?

I say turn the x in H3x on its side and give us the H3T.

It would be the product no one expected. And it would probably lead Jeep to bring back the Commanche.

...Well, an x on its side would look more like a +...

the Nissan Xterra preforms better than the H3

What is improper about 240+hp/240+lb-ft in this segment?

just the fact that it's 0-60 time is 14-15 seconds not sure exactly and that my Xterra which cost me 24k has 265 hp and 283 lb/ft of torque.

What you do not want to pay more for less from an american auto company????

Yea I stopped by as the wife really likes the H3 and we looked. I was surprised to see every H3 and H2 running from 5-10K below their MSRP. The dealership said it was Hummers Red Sticker Summer Sale.

So they had a near fully loaded H3 MSRP $35,465 stickered at $29,999. Great deals for sure and was pleased with the inside room. The test drive was very underwhelming. This thing was slower than a slug.

The H2 was nice and they had many that were almost fully loaded for $50K way under their msrp. So I have to figure that GM is doing some quite heavy discounts.

Wish they had the Duramax in the H2, I would grab one now.

Course just think how many H3's would be sold if GM would put in the Baby Duramax V6 that Isuzu has running around the world. I checked a couple medium commercial trucks out while in Japan last week. Nice Package and they really move. The H3 then would beat the competition in HP, Torque and Milage. This would be a market segment Owner.

H3s with the 225hp motor have been timed by various mags from 0-60 in either the low 10-sec range or the mid-11-sec range...with either 4-speed auto or 5-speed manual.

I'd estimate the 240hp mill to help.....but it won't put the H3 anywhere near the Xterra or FJ Cruiser....which both zip to 60mph in the low-to-mid 7-sec range with either tranny.

How much you want to bet the H3x will just fade into oblivion after no one buys it? well a few tools who don't know any better might but the rest of the buying public is smarter then that.
