• 2009 Hummer H3T: Unofficially Revealed [Chicago Auto Show]

  What an exciting day it is for fans of the Hummer brand, with the 2009 Hummer H3T embargo catastrafuck giving the truck all sorts of play on the internet. Since bringing you the first Truck Trend H3T scans , we've gotten a lot more information thanks to PickupTrucks.com , which had the first H3T post up on the web . What do we know about the new H3T? It's the same Colorado/H3 architecture but built to accommodate both the crew cab and the five-foot-long bed. There will be four versions offered, including the base version with the Vortec 3.7-liter inline-five (245 hp/242 lb.-ft.) and the H3T Alpha, which comes with the 5.3L small-block V8 (300 hp/320 lb.-ft.). Customers are going to have a choice of either a heavy-duty handling and trailering suspension or an off-road version that comes with 33-inch tires. Bizarre notions of masculinity not standard on this model as Hummer predicts customers will themselves supply that. Full press release and photos below. galleryPost('09HummerH3T'...

• Motor Trend Doesn't Break Embargoes, But Magazines Owned By Motor Trend Do [Chicago Auto Show]

  If you haven't been following along at home, folks, the nice people at Truck Trend (owned by our good friends at Motor Trend ) somehow managed to break the Hummer H3T today , about a week early. How could this happen? Motor Trend , as has been explained to us, doesn't purposefully break embargoes, and they get testy when you suggest that they do . As we've explained about media embargoes before , automakers like press, and when they want their cars in certain publications they send "embargoed" information to publishers early to accommodate the supposed lead time the print media needs to rewrite press releases and layout photos. Therefore, Truck Trend has had the information on the 2009 Hummer H3T for a little while. But they claim as long as they don't publish it online, they're not breaking an embargo until it goes to print. But then they also claim if the printing date is in line with the embargo date than all should be well. Fair enough -- a couple of hours...
