We are not sure if you've already seen the new HX concept SUV from the Hummer division of General Motors. It looks cool, sleek, futuristic, and definitely holds some resemblance with the Warthog from Bungie Studios' Halo franchise.

After unveiling the new Hummer at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit the other day, people who were in attendance were quick to judge that yes, Warthog was the inspiration for Hummer HX.

However, GM Director of Exterior Design for the HX Concept Carl Zipfel was quick to emphasize that while the two are remarkably similar in design, Hummer HX was created with modern day ATVs in mind, and not Warthog.

"We all play. I got Halo at home. I'm an Xbox guy. But as for the Warthog resemblance - that's just a coincidence," added Zipfel. He went on and mentioned that he is rather flattered that his creation is being compared to Master Chief's kick-ass vehicle.

I was about to say "make it blue and the resemblance disappears."
