Most Americans don't feel like they need a hummer, at least the vehicle
Hell I live in a suburb of Dallas, the king shit city of gas guzzling large vehicles and I see about one hummer on the road or in a parking lot a month. And even then they are those H2's.
I wonder who is buying them. (outside of the army that is)
No, none of them compare to the actual hummers I've seen them years ago driving down the road and they were almost to wide for their own lane!
The other ones look cool, but what's the point? If I'm gonna pay sixty bucks a week for gas (and I don't want to) I'm gonna get the biggest ford/chevy/dodge I can. At least I can get it worked on anywhere in the country!
true as far as the labor goes...but I own a 5.2L v8 dodge...and I spend anywhere from 70 to 90 dollars a week on gas. You want to save money, don't get the biggest ford/chevy/dodge you can. No diff than the hummer.
I left the 92 ford extended cab in 99 for the joys of the 4wd toyota tacoma. while I liked the big truck, i didn't like having to parallel park that sumbitch!
I'm spending about 28 bucks every week and a half now

GM owns hummer
IIRC they used to be made by American General (or something like that); GM bought them and tried to make them profitable by kicking out the H²... seems to have worked to a certain extent...
the H² is everywhere, but i've only seen maybe two H1's in my life. (that weren't military vehicles)
the original H1 was hardcore... I remember reading an article where Road&Track spent an entire day with one at a construction site trying to flip it over so they could see the self-righting system in action.
pretty useless as a daily driver though, unless your daily drive was on a ranch... since it has a 60mph top speed and drinks copius ammounts of petrol.
