The Hummer H3

The newest addition to the Hummer family is the Hummer H3 and this car is also the smallest of the family members. Compared to its predecessors, the Hummer H3 is less of an extreme car and more of an ordinary SUV at least to the naked eye. The Hummer 3 has however received standing ovations for its capacity in rough terrain; this car will take your kids to soccer practice even if you have to driver through a flooded field in Uzbekistan to get them there. The H3 is equipped with a 3.5-liter 5-cylinder engine that can develop 220 hp and 225 foot-pounds of torque and its road handling capabilities are excellent.

On the downside, the Hummer H3 is uses up a lot of gas compared to other SUVs. The Hummer H1 and H2 are both infamous for their fuel consumption and the H3 will do not better than 18 miles per gallon on the highway. The MPG for city driving is 14, which is not very impressive. Another difficulty noted by some Hummer H3 drivers is poor visibility. This is not a problem if you are fairly tall, but shorter persons can have a hard time keeping an eye on certain angles while driving your H3. This is naturally a problem for road safety, especially when driving in areas with a lot of bikers and pedestrians.

The weird and wonderful Hummer limousine

The Hummer limousine is becoming more and more popular and is today used for everything, from business meetings and corporate events to prom nights and bachelor parties. When you see a modern dolled-up Hummer limousine it can be hard to believe that this car can trace its ancestry back to the, formally know as the M998 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle. The civilian Hummer is a fairly new invention but the history of the military High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle begins in the 1970s when the United States Armed Forces decided that they needed something to replace their militaries trucks.

AM General, a subsidiary of American Motors Corporation, became responsible for preliminary a design and prototype construction, and soon they had managed to create a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle. This car naturally had very little in common with the modern Hummer limousines of today. Hummer limousines are definitely High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles, but they are certainly not suitable for rough terrain. The exact length of a Hummer limousine can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but they are usually around 38 feet long 15 feet longer than a Hummer H2. A majority of the Hummer limousines available from rental agencies are fitted with glamorous SUV-seats in black or red leather and the maximal number of passengers depends on the interior decorations.
