Will GM sell a Hummer under the name of H4 in 2008?

Current forecast: 16% chance
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 16% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)

Rumors continue to circulate that an H4 Hummer will be produced in the near future. Some sources are saying that prototypes already exist but General Motors isn't giving too much away. This hummer fan site has some coverage.



More detailed information on the proposals here and here



General Motors does admit to considering an H4 and it appears they would want it to slot into the range as a compact version of the Hummer. The above link suggests that they won't pay for a from-scratch design due to cost and expected return on a smaller/compact Hummer despite the high activity in that sector of the auto market. The Hummer brand is certainly a powerful one despite the current fashion of environmentalism. Even if GM can overcome these issues, it may take a while to get to the dealerships.

Today I saw a Hummer H4 pull into the Maverick Station where I was gassing up my Jeep. It was an old Suzuki Samurai with Hummer H4 painted on the side. :-)
