With GM making plans to discontinue the Hummer Brand Name and every automaker killing their SUV line up there is still a large amount of us that want more. According to J. D. Power and Associates, the Hummer brand captures and retains owners better than most, so it�s worth nurturing.The Hummer H4 CUV is the mass-production version of the Hummer HX concept car was first introduced in the arena 2008 North American International Auto Show.

As anyone who has done any serious off-roading can attest, size is your enemy on the trail, so a smaller but still off-road-ready Hummer, perhaps like the HX concept (below), makes perfect sense. The HX gives us a good look at the upcoming H4, and if that new entry has all the off-road gear of the show car, it�ll be a strong addition to the lineup. The HX sports full-time four-wheel drive (naturally) with locking front and rear differentials, 35-inch tires, a 3.6-liter direct-injected V-6, and an electronically disconnectable front antiroll bar � not to mention that unmistakable blocky styling.
