Hummers rumble into London Auto Show and future residency

Oy vey. The city with the oh-so-fuel efficient EVs, subways, and strict anti-pollution and space-premium laws will soon have to make way for the quintessential off-road SUV, the Hummer. That's right: the H2 and H3 will be joining the rest of General Motors' vehicles at the London Auto Show at the end of July and then be available for sale throughout the country.

The H2 will be powered by a 325-bhp, 6.0-liter petrol V-8, while the "smaller" H3 has the 220-bph, 3.5-litrerfive cylinder engine. Diesel versions will be available next year.

No word on whether or not the Queen is going to trade in her carriage for a Hummer.

Sweet, HUMMERs in the UK. I wonder how popular the non-diesel versions will be?

I still don't get why they seem to have much better fuel economy over there?!? I was looking at an LR3 for the wife, and they average in the upper teens here for fuel economy...over there...upper twenty's...
:(

The diesel version is pretty much guaranteed to be the H3 right?
