New H3 pics, Today 5/16

[HummerNewbie]

Thanks Paragon. In the photo from the right rear it does look like you can make out a possible wiper blade sticking out from behind the spare. Does anyone know what that is between the rear wiper control and the 12v outlets?

I love all the chrome, especially the gas cap!
I think many people (ignorant) will not be able to tell the difference between this and the H2. Especially from head on.

I agree, The tall stance of the Hummer will keep it apart from the other mid-sizers

Very very nice. Can't wait to see them on the road and on the trails.
BUT... no steering wheel controls??? How ghetto!

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>You're right. I'll try to remember to ask if the production model will have them.

Thanks for checking into it.

The 2 buttons are for the dealer optional grill lights and the optional roof lights. I believe that they all have rear wipers.

[PARAGON]

This is some photo enhancement. I am sure Ken could email me the full sized image and I could extrapolate even a better representation, but no pixels were added, just some enhancingto better show the wiper arm. So this should show some proof of the wiper arm.

GRAT PICS! If at all possible, can you take some pics of the roof. Mainly the roof tracks thatrun front to back and tahn on either side of the sunroof and where the marker lights ma/ may not go.

Thanks,
Tim.

I just got back from Hall Hummer to this red H3 and I felt like that little kid on the Chevy SSR commercial. All I could say was "Holy S--t!" It is very nice guys.

[tony d]

what color is the interior and is it leather?

[HummerNewbie]

Builder,

Thanks for clearing it up for us. Kind of odd positioning for the buttons isn't it?

For those who have seen it in person, how is it to get in and out of. I wasn't going to get the side step but damn it looks good in chrome on the red one. Not a concern for me but the wife is only 4'11" and thinking she would certainly prefer having them. I wasn't planning on getting them because I plan on going wheeling with it whenever possible.

[LoLo]

Although I realize it cannot be compared "apples to apples" to any other SUV on the market, but what -- regarding size -- would you compare the H3 to?

I know, I COULD go look up the sizes of all the other SUV's on the market with the H3 stats, but I am WAY too lazy for that! And, why go to the trouble when I can get someone to tell me that has seen it first-hand?

[GreenH3]

HummerNewbie: Definitely get the side step. It's a high step in without one and I'm 5'11".
LoLo: I would compare it in size to the Toyota Sequoia but slightly taller or maybe a Trailblazer and a lot taller.

[H2chief]

It was the Adventure package. The interior looked to be same as the photo on the website in the section (H3 Highlights on the Inside) No leather. My kids loved it. I had to pull them away. It does have rear wiper. The back seat was very roomy. Big enough for two car seats. Can't wait to get mine next week. I think the 4-Runner would be a close comparison but the H3 looks bigger.

I guess that tells you how closely I was looking at the rear window. I was too busy thinking about the paint color.

I'm sure Chris, Chuck, Ryan and the guys would love for you to stop by and check it out. You know how salesmen are. I'll tell them a friend is going to meet me there that's interested in the H3. (Nevermind they read this and know I'm full of $h!t, but it's all good) Hope to meet you.

I'll have my 5'4" co-pilot climb in tomorrow night without using the steps and let you know.
