Arnold concerted his H1’s in EV’s and its pretty bad ass. That said, GM will **** this up and it will look awful and overall be pretty stupid.

Why Hummer's Massive Torque Number in Super Bowl Ad Is Misleading
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why Hummer's Massive Torque Number in Super Bowl Ad Is Misleading By the measurement we suspect GM is using to arrive at 11,500 lb-ft, a Chevy Silverado 3500HD pickup would make 14,129 lb-ft. Quote:

Vehicles like this illustrate why GM is so out of touch. Rather than come out with something that rivals what Tesla is doing or even Ford with the Mach E they bring back this pretentious abomination of excess that went out of style over a decade ago.

Who are the morons at GM that thought this would be a good idea? I can see lawsuits for misleading consumers. Just use the standard method of measurement for EV torque, etc. They want to revive a brand / vehicle and start off on the wrong foot by not being ethical is presenting specs but using a bull**** method.
This already tells me it's going to have **** range, likely inferior power to Tesla, Rivian and probably Ford. Pathetic |

Depending on how it looks, I'd be down to buy one. I always wanted an H1 but they are still really expensive.
Glad they are bringing Hummer back! |

They are also good on bastardizing names and brands. They can't even be creative enough to come up with a new name. |

Based on GMs recent past with new vehicles I predict the Hummer will not reach GMs unrealistic predicted sales figures and they will piss away $3+billion, give up and end production after 2 model years....

You were close, just need to tack on 2 extra years . I’ll be cautiously optimistic. If they can give it a nice interior like Tahoe or Denali and have it be comfortable, I can see it doing moderately well in the Mid West to the south. It’s probably going to cost out the ass though. |

Wait, wasn’t GMs EV1 program scrapped to make way for the Hummer in the first place? How the turntables...

Pretty sure the H2 was built a few years after it was scrapped. The rumor at the time was that the oil companies pushed GM to produce more gas guzzlers. Had a buddy then who was excited that it was a “crushing blow to all the hippies” because he wanted an H2. He never did buy one lol. Nobody wants 10mpg.

It's amazing what a year will do. Now people want a Hummer EV and folks are wondering why Ford is so behind the times with the Bronco.

How if Ford behind the times with the Bronco? I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar there is an EV Bronco within 5 years time and we will see a decent amount that bought the ICE variants trade them in for EV. Its actually a pretty damn smart play.

As a new ICE-based platform the Bronco is already far behind the curve of the Hummer (assuming EV Hummer isn't eventually vaporware, of course).
If Ford does drop an EV Bronco it will need to be based on a skateboard (or other bespoke EV chassis type) like the Mach-E. EVing an ICE chassis leads to all the downsides of every other half-assed compliance EV on the market. Poor packaging and limited range compared to the competiton. Folks can go to EV West with their old Bronco if it's a retrofit they're after. |

All I know is they threw a lot money around/at the Bronco. Oh course it was Pre Covid and Stock market was like NASA rocket, orange man could in DC.
So far There's going to be a bronco truck Race Bronco Truck 2 door bronco hybrid Bronco is already out and about spy shots Might be right hand drive for Europe etc, they did patents in Europe anyway You hot the removable roof and door versions They already stated it will used on the Ranger chassis and others. So full EV version is a go |
