It's a Hummer.

Is it just me or does anyone else hear this spoken in their head like Pedro from Napolean Dynamite when he says, "It's a Sledgehammer."

those dolts from car and driver really tick me off. Whats up with the comment about the civilized world not needing the H2.

I am sure some of the cars they swoon over get a heck of a lot less MPG that the H2 does.

Makes me want to scream. We're in america, america is about choices, the land of opportunity. And if I make enough money to afford a H2 then I want to be able to buy an H2. Me driving my H2 isnt going to melt the polar ice caps or kill the spotted owls.

Dont get me started.....

WHAT,WE HAVEN'T GOT RID OF THOSE *UCKING SPOTTED OWL'S YET ?:twak:

Heck, I thought that article rocked! See, look at it this way...H2 owners aren't self-absorbed a$$holes who don't care about gas or the environment. We're just well prepared!

OK, who says we hummer owners drive only the hummer? That's a false assumption that is the very basis of a false argument.
In my case, I'll probably drive my H2 a maximum of 5,000 miles a year, how many others actually use their hummers very little. My guess is a fair percentage. If you can afford a Hummer, you probably can afford another car (or two, or three) which you probably drive far more.
So by purchasing my Hummer I pulled a gas guzzling SUV off the market. It sits in the garage. For about three months at a time it is truely a zero-emmisions vehicle. So the neighbor with the Honda SUV drives 20,000-25,000 miles a year. he uses about 1,000 to 1,250 gallons of gas. My H2 at, lets say 10 MPG, uses 500 gallons. So who is the real polluter?
Second, my ability to purchase a SUV (I own two) keeps blue collar families who build cars under a roof with a steady income, so again what have I done wrong?
Lastly, as a conscious owner who is meticulious about the care of my vehicles, I always keep the vehicles in a peak state of tune. I'll bet those Hondas and Hundais never see a tune, that is until something fails. So, it is a lot more likely the econo boxes running around are polluting far more than I ever will.
Having said that, let's nuke the whales and stuff spotted owls!
