I love the H-1s
As for the SUV's I have a Jeep Cherokee. Trucks and suv's are a necessity in Texas. When there is flooded roads or muddy conditions, I don't know how many times I have been called to go get someone out of a jam. I will never have a low to the ground car again. It's not the vehicle that is a pain in the #@$ it is always the driver.

hummers are just plain ugly ewwwwww saw one today and was like.......... i knew they were ugly but didnt realize how nasty they looked in person. guy i worked with said he was gonna get one next year....... so i asked what color...... thinking black or yellow or white.................being the most obvious choices and wondering which he would make. he instead shocked me by saying TEAL. so he is picking a vehicle to make himself look macho and tough........ and its in a fruity color..................... um ok lol why not get it painted pink instead with baby blue flames.......................... if i had 50 grand to spend on cars id get a 70 hemi challenger and an extended cab truck and use the extra money to customize them the way i wanted em lol. or buy a honda accord and put money down on a house lol.

I can't understand the thought process. "Wow! That big SUV!!! Me like big SUV!!! MUST HAVE BIG SUV!!!!! I'll BE BIG MAN DRIVING AROUND HUMMER!!!"
Call me a liberal leftie (some ways yes, some ways not), but sometimes I look around and think "you know, I totally understand why they hate us". Not that other nationalities aren't vain and crass, but Americans take the cake, and the popularity of the Hummer couldn't be more symbolic of that.

I agree with avishai (sp?) and others here, the H1 had a seriously innovative drive-train that got the axles up over the tops of the wheel hubs. Ground clearance was unmatched by any previous system. As a military vehicle, or if you really, really needed that kind of clearance for recreating or business transport in the backwoods or deserts, it was, and is the vehicle. Granted, most H1s sold to consumers have never dealt with anything more challenging than potholes and streetcar tracks.
The H2 is just a standard chromed out SUV that looks like its big brother. A poseur's vehicle.
At the other end of the consumer scale are a bunch of guys I met in B.C. They all run older Toyota Landcruisers, tricked out to the enth degree. They are take-no-prisoners mountain backroad enthusiasts. If they need to sideswipe a large boulder to pivot their machines up and out of a narrow wash-out, then that is what they'll do, thousands in parts and hundreds of hours of work will be sacrificed to clear the gully. Making it to the top of the mountain was all that mattered.
At least a third of the components on any one of their trucks were fabricated in their own shops, copied from original parts and then beefed up.
I doubt that any one of them would be caught dead in an H2.
