Poor sales and a possible brand sale haven’t deterred Hummer from releasing a new special edition H2 and SUT dubbed the ‘Black Chrome’ edition. The new range features black chrome detailing for its exterior, including custom 22in wheels, a distinctive grille, hood latches and handles, a chrome fuel cap and matching mirrors, badges and side vents.
Other features that get the black chrome treatment include the door handles, spare tire cover emblem, and the rocker covers.Also new for the 2009 model year is the addition of three new colors, including the Sedona Metallic paint scheme (pictured) that’s unique to the Black Chrome version of the H2. The Black Chrome edition is also available with a matching interior.
The special edition Black Chrome models will be limited to just 1,300 units worldwide, including both the standard SUV and SUT pickup models, however that number may be adjusted downward by half or more, due to the world economic slowdown. These models will be true collectors items. All Black Chrome Limited Edition models come with the 6.2L engine with E85 FlexFuel capability and special tuned exhaust. Hummer’s year-to-date sales tally is down more than 43% versus its 2007 result, however December 2008 Hummer sales jumped 50% over the month of November and total units sold in 2008 were a strong 26,222.
