The long awaited Hummer HX concept vehicle is out of hiding and making waves at the Detroit Auto Show. Reports indicate that the vehicle is smaller, greener, and aimed directly at the Younger/Wrangler Driving/Halo Playing public…
Is Jeep in trouble? Probably not.
Is this a cool vehicle? Definitely.
Is Ford losing more ground in this (abandoned) market segment. Yes.
Read on to see what the Hummer HX is all about.

I was checking this out on CO4x4 last week… It doesn’t look bad, and I agree it is better than Ford even attempts, but it still puzzles me that Hummer, being dedicated to “capable” off road vehicles (even if 90% of the owners will never see dirt), continue to utilze IFS, which I think everyone agrees provides a better on-road ride, but a lesser off-road prowess!?? Only Jeep continues to make a live front axle sub-3/4 ton vehicle, and even jeep is down to just the Wrangler… IDK.
