General Motors has unveiled a 'green' version of the Hummer H3 that runs on E85 ethanol-based bio-fuel.

The H3 FlexFuel retains the regular H3's 5.3-litre V8 engine* and its four-wheel drive system, but GM says the exterior has been smoothed off to make the car more aerodynamic, helped by revised suspension that lowers the ride height by 50mm.

GM has not quoted any economy figures for the FlexFuel version of the 'baby' Hummer but says it is significantly more efficient than the standard H3's 20mpg combined fuel consumption.

* How can an engine be "retained," if it is not available...yet?

Besides E85 is a rip off...

Besides E85 is a rip off...I hate it when GM marketing screws up a press release.

Guess what engine is available in the H3 next year.:popcorn:

[fourfourto]

Look at the wheels.:eek:
Its a matchbox car:rolleyes: :D

[ictH3]

I noticed it said 285/r18... 18" wheels? Why would you want to lower it? :mad:

[K9sH3]

Whats wrong with it?? Something looks awfully wrong! At a quick glance it looked like the old Cherokee. Then it looked like a 3, but something is out of place on it.

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Its been SMOOTHED...

:lame:

Just a few more modifications.....and...There! We have it: The H3sm (soccer mom version). Soon to be available in a 2WD version with super-soft suspension, built-in child seat and a grocery bag holder. What a shame.

:iagree: :perfect10s:
You have just said what (I think) every Hummer owner fears.

Oh I hope not, The owner of Ron Jon's Surf Shop makes everything he owns into a woody, including his Million dollar motor coach. Thats all we need in this town is for him to go ruin a H3 like that.

Huh? I'm confused. Isn't that what the H3 is now?

You really know how to hurt a guy! By the way, hope you don't mind me asking, but....I've been wondering.....What the heck is that thing swinging around on your avatar?

[DennisAJC]

Atleast you can take a joke.:jump:

Probably not. Does it come as an option with the H2? :p

OK, we're even.:D

[bparker]

wow that bugger is low!

regardless I am glad to see that a V8 will be offered.

[f5fstop]

I guess they somewhat "officially" let the V8 out of the bag:D

Doubt if they will ever offer a 2 WD version like Jeep is offering on the 2007 Wrangler.

The "smoothed off" lines aren't so bad, but lowering any hummer is a tragedy. 50 mm is about 2 inches :mad: There is something wrong with its look tho ... I think it needs crossbars and a sunroof.

[Viet Nam Vette]

Heh Great..I can wait a few more years before I order and get the Convertable Top H3 with the Heads up display and the self driving Off Road option with the 360 roating driver and passenger seat and the V16 engine option.

By then I will have gone thru 6 GMID's before I get one..

Come on General Make up your mind....V8... V6.. SLant 6.. Diesel E85 Jet fuel..Rocket fuel...:jump:
