Default Dallas Auto Show 2008


Went to the 2008 Dallas Auto Show on Sunday. As usual, there was nothing to really knock your socks off.
Very few concepts were present, of which only a few were of actual interest. I think my wife put it best when
she said there wasn’t anything there she couldn’t see on the corner car lot. Well, she does sometimes have a gift
for oversimplifying………

So…..Hummer was present and the display was just a tad better than last year. I guess you can only do so
much with such a limited number of models to display. The H3T was there and from what I overheard, was
receiving mixed reviews. No one was ambivalent towards it…They either loved it or hated it. Other than the
H3T, I can honestly say I’ve seen better displays in the Sewell Hummer show room….No Joke.

The “spokes people” appear to be the same Argentinean Star Search rejects they used last year. Except for
a new, surly *** ringleader that looked like a bad stand-in for a 1979 Chuck Norris movie. Didn’t
like his looks, and didn’t like him after speaking to him…..***-Hat to the max…

And.....TO MY GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.....NO FRAKKIN HX CONCEPT ! ! ! ! ! !

The Faux Chuck said he thought it was in Sweden........WTF ! ! ! [:@][:@][:@]

At any rate, here are a few pics……

Sorry for the limited number of Hummer pics, I had some old lady that kept bumping into me and ruining my shots.









Nice Yota………

H3T doesn't really do it for me.

I think I would love one (H3T)in the ALPHA configuration with some 35's under it and a proper grill guard.

White, or God help me.....Sloar Flare Metalic....(That color is really growing on me)

It looks a lot better in person than in pics, but there is still something not quite right about the proportions.

I could put one to a lot of uses.

Still, it's nice to see another hummer model......Man do they ever need it ! ! ! !

They do. That's why I can't believe they aren't ***** to the wall to get the HX out. HummerGuy said that it looked like maybe 2011 model year in 2010 before we would be able to get one. NorthBay cadillac/Hummer is taking names for their list for the HX which they say they will have in 2009. I put my name on the list. It was free. Who knows but I will have one of those as soon as they come out.

I've seen two recent on-line references to the X, stating it would be available in 2009......Guess we have no
choice but to wait and see. They HAVE to **** or get off the pot on this thing. You saw the article about
dropping sales I posted the other day. Hell, at this show....If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone
say, "Glad I don't have that things gas bill"........jeez

NotrhBay is taking it seriously. I registered online. They had a girl call and talk to me at the office and then they followed up with a letter confirming I am on their list and thanking me for my interest. We will see.

Not sure if I like the H3T, I'll have to see it in person. Thanks for posting the pictures.

I have heard a lot of people say they weren't blown away by the H3T. Hope a chilly reception doesn't slow down the HX.
