But a new model, a smaller one, looks to be in the works. This smaller model may entice companies to buy the brand. According toAutomobile MagazineHummer is considering something similar to theHX Concept. To be called H4, the new model would arrive around 2012 and give Hummer a direct competitor to the Jeep Wrangler.The HX Concept is powered by a E85 FlexFuel 3.6L SIDI V6 engine mated to a six speed automatic transmission.GalleryHummer HX Conceptcontinue readingSource:Automobile Mag2008 Hummer HX ConceptPosted on03.14.2008 04:22bySimona6With its unmistakable HUMMER design and a compact, go-anywhere driving ethic, the HUMMER HX concept challenges the hierarchy of the trail.

To be called H4 it will give the Hummer brand a vital weapon in the United States against premium-priced compact SUVs.Under the hood there will be a choice of two engine choices, the GM Vortec 3700 3.7L I-5 (242 HP) and the GM Vortec 4200 4.2L I-6 (291 HP). The transmission choices will be an Aisin 5-speed automatic or 5-speed manual. The H4 will be launched at the end of 2009 as a 2010 model.The H4 has two versions, a 2 and 4 door version. They both are based on the same platform, and the charasteristics of the two versions are pretty much the same. However, the main difference, of course, are the number of doors and the roofline. While the 4-door version follows the 90 degree cut line above the rear window, like the H2, the 2-door version has a coupé like,dropping roofline, like showed in the HX concept.More after the jump.
