I am glad I got a sipper is all I know. The government needs to work up something though because the prices are spiking up like a mug. if you bought a piece of crap H2, I feel bad for you. Wait, no I dont. YOu wasted your money on a piece of gas guzzling garbage. If I were going to get a gas guzzler, I would have to go with a truck. Something that you can actually haul stuff in or do something with. These new hummers are a joke.
The old hummers were legit, but he new ones are straight rich soccer mom material.[

B.S.
You know not of what you speak..............
"rich soccer mom" will not want to regularly climb up/in out/down of a Hummer. "rich soccer mom" would most likely prefer my last personal "truck", which was a Mercedes Benz ML series SUV (excellent comfort, good gas mileage-six cyl., all wheel drive, decent off-road capabilites at the car-wash).
Not a Hummer, tho.; a Hummer is a Boy-toy or a Tom-Girl-toy.
Recently purchased a Hummer H3. (Supporting my "local" economy; they are assembled only in Shreveport, LA; next factory will be in South Africa).
Nothing can compare to a Hummer right "out of the box".
Very Recently went to an off-road "Hummer Happening" near Minden, LA, (hello, DFM) and was the first H3 to "run the course". Amazing, what these things can do.
Forget the 44.6% grade pictured above on the GM test course; did an ~ 60% vertical (hello, sky) after watching two (2) H2's slide back down. Also did a traverse on an ~ 48% side slope. (Yeah, slid down some, but didn't hit a tree or anything
).
Excellent road handling; Nice ride; pretty good gas mileage - just figured 18.6 mpg combo city and hwy on my last fill-up after returning from a trip to Bay St. Louis, MS, including doing 85 mph sometimes on the interstate - whatever........and, it burns regular unleaded.
If you wanta know you can climb a 16" vertical step, or drive over a 10" dia. log, or drive through 2 ft. of water,
get an H3.
Better approach, departure, and breakover angles than the LandRover or any of the Jap stuff or the Jeep Grand Cherokee (out of the box).
