It isn't long until the anticipated launch of the HUMMER H3T and today General Motors confirmed the pricing will start at $31,495 including the $745 destination charge. As the name suggest, the H3T is based on the underpinnings of the popular H3 model and features a double cabin 5 seater layout in front of the 1.5 meter long bed in the rear. The same 3.7L 5-cylinder and 5.3L V8 engines from the H3 are available giving the model a maximum towing capacity of 5,900 pounds.

“The H3T carves out a new segment in the midsize truck market, providing an outstanding combination of functionality and capability,” said Martin Walsh, HUMMER general manager. "This will be the ideal truck for the buyer who need a truck’s functionality for his or her lifestyle pursuits, but is looking for an alternative to the full-size truck.”

The first H3T models arrive in dealerships in September.

These are the stupidest vehicles ever! Period! Point blank! I wouldn't have an issue with them if they had just been left to their original purpose, but these things have no place in suburbia. Stupid.

Once again, I am bothered by GM's brute-force marketing. The General tries so hard to justify its vehicles that, after a point, the press release is just a bucket full of lies it tries to spoon-feed the public. Sorry, but the H3T is not "...an outstanding combination of functionality and capability," despite being "...based on the underpinnings of the popular H3 model...." Popular? Is that really the word you want to use? The H3 was worthless, and this is just stupid. I can't wait for HUMMER to go bust... I'll throw a party and put on a funny hat to celebrate.

hummers fine... the problem started when GM took over. ok, it may have saved the company, and i use "saved" as in kept alive. BUT, that move is slowly killing the brand. Have they not figured out that gas prices aren't going to come down????, and even if it did, it would come down like 10 cents max. Gas is running out!!!!

Like it or not, this thing will be collectible one day. Why? Because in the states Hummer is being predicted to be axed from the GM lineup. That over-the-top press release is an 11th hour attempt to sell - anything. The low production numbers for this vehicle and the fact that the Hummer brand is about to become non-existent just about guarantees it will be collectible. Only problem is you will have to wait 40 to 50 years before it will look like such an oddball that anyone will buy it from you! To be fair to this vehicle, it isn't nearly as inefficient as the H1 and H2 both were. The five cylinder gets pretty average fuel econemy for an SUV but it's too underpowered for such a heavy vehicle which makes it a rather dull ride. The looks are what really ruin the H3... Everyone looks at it and thinks H2 which deserves its own, self-indulgent image. Bye bye Hummer...

Just not a smart move. We have too many of these in the states and they take up roads and parking lots without caring. SUV's in general should be sold only if they are beneficial to the owner( Work, family, hobby that needs more space). People take these monsters 3 blocks to get milk and it just isnt wise to sell these with things the way they are. Think about what could be done if they relocated the hummer design team to the alternative fuel dev. Department. It is just an obnoxious auto.

I can't wait to see how much dealer's will be marking this vehicle down for. With fuel prices the way they are, I don't think too many people would be too keen on driving one of these off the lot.
