Hummer is presenting is new concept, named HX.
The HX features a number of removable or changeable body panels to increase both its off-road ability and practicality.

The roof panels, fastback rear glass and even the doors can all be quickly removed to create an exposed to the elements dune basher and to help with tight spots out in the wilds the flared wheelarches covering the mammoth 35-inch tall tyres can be removed with a few twists of an allen key.

The dashboard comprises three LCD screens mimicking conventional instruments but which can be reconfigured to reflect driving conditions so when off-roading in low-ratio mode the redundant speedometer becomes a wheel angle display.

It has a 3.6-litre V6 engine designed to run on E85 bioethanol and driving all four wheels.

Front and rear locking differentials and an anti-roll bar that can be electronically disconnected boost the car’s all terrain ability.

Hummer under $30k

In Britain, £15,000 buys you a mean and miserable family hatchback.

Well, we wouldn’t actually call a 2-litre Ford Focus miserable, but it’s not exactly the last word in feel-good motoring either.

ver in the States, however, $30,000 is serious money for buying motors. Sticking with Ford for a moment, $30k will buy you a full-on, pimped-out V8 Mustang with all the trimmings.
The entry level V6 starts at $19,000. Very good!

But the new Hummer H3 surely delivers the ultimate road-borne bang for your buck.
Try this for size: in excess of two tonnes (4,700lbs to be precise) Hummer heat can be yours for a preposterously parsimonious $29,500. OK, it might be little more than a re-bodied GM pickup.
By US standards the 3.5-litre, 220hp V6 may be thoroughly anemic.

It’s probably cheap enough to ruin the Hummer brand in the long run.
