Short bed pickups look awkward to me (even Rivian, which I'm mostly excited about, looks unfinished with that bed size), I much prefer this version. Given that this much more closely resembles the Hummers that people remember, I'd think THIS is the version likely to generate excitement about the brand, I'm a little surprised is so much farther down the pipeline than the pickup version.

Would there be similar risks because the pouch-style Bolt cells are being recalled and the Hummer's cells also pouch-style too:

"GM’s new Ultium batteries are unique in the industry because the large-format, pouch-style cells can be stacked vertically or horizontally inside the battery pack. This allows engineers to optimize battery energy storage and layout for each vehicle design."
