I think the front end will look exactly like the H3T pickup truck showcar.
Proportions are a little funky but I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person.
I need one of those FUH2 bumper stickers for my window...

Besides all the other opinions about the H2 or H3....I just don't like the Magnifying Glass style/look of the vehicles. It doesn't look as cool/sophisticated/classy as the T4R does. =)

The all-new midsize H3
The 2006 HUMMER H3, due in dealers in the first half of 2005, will offer authentic HUMMER performance and style in a midsize SUV package. Just as its stablemates (the legendary H1 and H2) did in the full-size category, the H3 will create a new leader in off-road capability among midsize SUVs.
The H3 will be shown to the public on the global auto show circuit beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004. In advance of that, here's a preview:
The H3 is being extensively developed to achieve the extraordinary off-road capability synonymous with HUMMER, along with surprisingly civilized daily driving attributes and improved fuel economy. Development testing has been conducted in the most demanding off-road environments.
The H3 will be both powerful and efficient, featuring the 3.5L Vortec 3500 Inline 5-cylinder engine with a dual overhead cam design and variable valve timing. The H3 will offer the choice of a manual or an automatic transmission. In addition, the H3 will include systems specifically engineered for HUMMER's trademark off-road capability. Among the available equipment will be an electronically controlled four-wheel drive system with a fully locking rear differential, traction control, underbody shielding and GM's StabiliTrak vehicle stability enhancement system.

It is heavily based on the new Chevy pickup...same powertrain. The new powertrain from Chevy (Inline-5) is smooth and modern (DOHC with variable valve timing)...however, from the reviews i have read, it's weak on torque at low rpms. Therefore, for an "off-roader," H3 may be weak in terms of torque when you need it most. Hopefully, Hummer will put aggressive gearing into the H3 to help make up for this. It will also have stability control and traction control + electric locker in the rear (aka Hummer H2).
As for reliability, i would definitely wait at least a year before buying. It should have similar reliability rating as the Chevy pickup which came out this year.

My Opinion
Folks, I'm sorry but I'm not impressed with the H2 or H3.
I've driven, for many many many miles, the original military version. Does what it needs to do better than the Jeep, but in Afghanistan it has it's ups and downs. But a definite combat proven vehicle time and time again.
So when the made the other two, I just took them both for Basterdized versions of the one and only.
That's just my two bits.
