January 15, 2008 Talk about hitting the ground running - three young design students, fresh out of college, fronted up for their first day of work at
GM and instead of a week of fetching coffees, their first assignment was to produce concepts for a new, compact, youth-oriented off-road
Hummer. The three students' input drove the design of the new Hummer HX concept, which has sparked a lot of excitement among Hummer fans. Open-topped, with a configurable rear roof section, removable body panels and an E85-capable engine, the HX concept will debut shortly at the 2008
North American International Auto Show – and it's rumored to be the base for the upcoming H4 production
SUV.
