Gonna ask the question we're all thinking of and will decide if we switch our reservations: Does it have rear AC vents?

If it had bronco pricing, and bronco timeline, I would take it. But 100k is double what I plan on spending for my Bronco. In 10 years though it will he sweet to buy one for 1/5th the price as my commuter vehicle.

Good point. Let the rich people pay for the development costs.

I'm liking the Hummer, not loving the price tag, but it is a different animal from the Bronco.

Its worth noting GMC's reservation page/process is almost as bad as Ford's...at least GMC is letting me get to the final page before smacking me with frustration...

I’m actually super impressed with the design.

However, it’s about $35k too expensive compared to cybertruck.

Well I actually own a H3 adventure series and it's been great, however nice the new EV is 100k plus just isn't worth it.
I bet it would be cheaper to buy and convert a new Bronco to electric.
I think when a true off-road hybrid is released it will be a winner no matter who makes it

It does look cool. I am glad someone will make a super truck. But this is not the same market as the bronco.

It does have every cool option, and calling it a supper truck is right.
Tesla sells lots of very expensive EV's so there is a market.

I think this will sell well and take sales from Tesla and other luxury brands.

But this is not a two door bronco, and not even a 4 door bronco. I don't even think the bronco pickup will be cross shopped much with this. This is just so big and so much more money.

Still really cool.

I kinda like it, but the price is just a non-starter as far as I'm concerned. I do not want to pay for one of the uber-expensive ones, and I wouldn't prefer the less expensive ones over the Bronco. And I certainly wouldn't want to wait 4 years for the less expensive version.

I had seen teasers awhile back that they were also going do a Hummer SUV. If so, I wonder how it will stack up in terms of pricing. I'd prefer an SUV version over a truck version.

Some neat features and cool tech. But I'm a firm no.

I'm mostly happy about that. I thought the Hummer might be the only thing that could tempt me away from the Bronco.

Now, what I really want is a Bronco hybrid. With ventilated seats. ;-)

Looks cool, but the price is so high that you could get BOTH a Bronco and a Mach-E for the same price!

Also, it has this thing called "crab mode" which should be cool, but terrifies me because it reminds me of those unwieldy IKEA shopping carts that I accidentally smash into people.

I had an ex with “crab mode”...




Also, I appreciate the technology, but why did they make it so ugly?
