This is a quote from Car and Driver magazine: "I loved it [the H2] in photos. Then I saw a real one in the, uh, well, "flesh" is not the right word. I saw it in the plastic. Those cake-pan bumps on the hood? Plastic. You can pop 'em off with your fingers. Those black extenders on the ends of the front bumper? Tupperware tuff for those brutal commutes! Inside, the window sills are high. You look at the world through slits. For the first time ever, you see door-sealing rubber being used as a styling element. The message is "functional," get it? Ten man-size socketheads make a big show of securing wispy plastic cladding to the dash."

A quote from Motor Trend Magazine: "The H2 is big, weighty, expensive, and thirsty. (And it needed a shift into low range to finish a hill climb the Volvo's high-tech AWD scrambled up without drama.)"

-Imagine off-roading in your H2 and getting stuck going up a hill and then passed by a soccer mom in a Volvo X90. How embarrassing!

Ok.... I'm trying to imagine that happening, but all I can come up with is a horrible prison shower rape scene involving SUVGuy.

I'd like to find some dolt that owns one of those Volvos that would be willing to play follow the leader with me. That soccer mom car wouldn't make it 400 yards.

A good friend of mine just turned her Volvo in because part of the drivetrain fell to the ground while driving on the freeway. 3K in damage and 5,000 miles outside of warranty. They wouldn't fix it.


I can't imagine getting stuck on a hill in my Hummer. It's never happened. Your VW beetle, however, would be fun to roll over you dope smoking turd.

Of course this guy is a troll. In his first post he is trying to down-grade the H2. Sad very sad.

98 GTS VIPER
03 H2 HUMMER

I would rather someone else post this, but I thought I would get it on now.

Black Lingenfelter Lux

A Volvo would just run it's headlights in to this one But of course it wouldn't have made it past the entrance anyway after it left its drivetrain on the pavement.

Good point....but since you are "imagining"...why not go a step further and imagine a couple hottie super-models getting out and pushing the H2 up the hill while attending to your other service needs.

Of course, in your case...you'd probably "imagine" a few hunky guys.

I can assure you the one thing you don't have to imagine is what it will be like to get torched on a website...run troll, run!!!

I can't help but wonder what type of vehicle this loser "SUVFag" drives. I'm guessing like a piece of **** 1989 Ford Bronco II. Probably all rusted out and on its last leg. And since his Burger King salary will not cover the nut on an H2, this loser resorts to trashing them to convince himself not to buy a vehicle that he could not possibly afford anyway. Besides it's not a good idea to own a vehicle that cost 4 times as much as the trailer you live in. Now get back to work, cars are starting to back up in the drive in!

SUVGuy:

What's a Volvo X90? You mean XC90: the AWD contraption that Volvo sells as a taller likeness of the XC70 wagon?

Yeah, I was thinking about getting one of those and wheeling it at our local bog. What do you think buddy - can I fit a set of 28" swampers on that bad boy; maybe some Edelbrock Headers and that Swedish 5-banger will have all the locals calling me "boss." Maybe I'll upgrade to the 6-cylinder model if I feel like a wildman!

You know the H2 doesn't have any wood grain either - and I don't know if your tea party friends will approve of that.

Aw, come on Spike - the Bronco II is classic - LOL. My friend had one in high school and we used to beat the heck out of that poor thing. I think it rolled on 26" highway tires to boot.

What happened to SUVQueer? Was this a hit and run post? He probably doesn't have the balls to come back on. Or maybe he does have the balls...there just lying across the bridge of his nose right now.

Yep, and Saab is a brand of General Motors.

Speaking of Ford: Toyota just surpassed Ford to take the #2 spot in the world for automotive sales. That's a bunch of sh*t, since we aren't really given a fair shake in their market! That combined with all the Californians that think Toyota is American because they're assembled/pieced together here [and in Kentucky]. Either that or they just don't give a flying ____!

Hell I got in a 10 minute conversation/arguement today with a gas station attendent moron who says the H2 is german and would hear no other answer.

And don't bash the Bronco 2! That was my first vehicle and I loved the little piece of ****!

Frank, you crack me up

Whats this world coming to...you can't even break a trolls balls without offending people on this forum

S&B Member

Frank, The only thing that rolled over more often than a CJ5 was a Bronco II.

Troll scale: 4. No original content, and only one post... Pathetic. On the other hand, it has been quite some time without a Troll posting. It was starting to get mighty dull around here. We need another moojiber or andkon. Those guys had follow through.

Please don't make fun of Volvo you guys. I am of Swedish desecent (and yes, my grandfather was a Swedish master carpenter, some of his work can be found in the 'movie star' homes up in the Hollywood Hills and Beverly Hills) and the Volvo is a Swedish vehicle...and for the uninformed, it's pronounce "vaul'-voh", not "vole-vo".

I had to drive a crappy ass old volvo station wagon as my first car. I have it on authority that Volvos suck. It weighed almost as much as mu Hummer, yet had a 110 HP engine... What a POS. Nothing against the swedish, I like Saabs.

This is a fake. I subscribed to 5-6 auto magazines for many years, I read thousands or more articles, automobile magazines don't talk about automobiles like that.

OMG, the day has finally come: I agree with MAC, it's a fake. Motor Trend finds everything either good, great or amazing...

No, mabye it's not fake. I do remember reading something similar in Hustler.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>quotes from Motor Trend:
The all-new H2 is unmistakably Hummer, faithful in nearly every detail...

Built to a tough-as-nails 8600-lb GVW standard and with more interior and cargo room than the traditional Hummer H1, the H2 is short where it needs to be for outstanding off-roadability--in front and rear overhangs. The H2 is the Manx cat of SUVs, thanks to wheels pushed to the far corners of the robust body. It'll climb up and over obstacles 16 inches tall without snagging bumpers or tow hitch receivers and in low range/low gear (with a 33:1 crawl rate) continue on up a 60-percent grade without breaking a sweat. All 3.2 tons of it.

Hummers are all about going where others dare not go. Here, the H2 has its own bag of techno-tricks, including a two-speed, shift-on-the-fly transfer case, locking center differential, locking rear differential, dual-mode traction control, and anti-lock brakes with automatic brake differential. Via a dash-mounted switch, the H2 driver can select High Open, High Locked (center diff locked), Low Locked (center diff locked), or Neutral (when being towed). An Eaton locking rear differential can be engaged in low range for dealing with severe obstacles and works in forward and reverse. Another dash switch lets the driver adjust the traction-control system for on-road, high-friction surfaces or off-road, low-friction conditions, allowing a bit more wheelspin and being less intrusive on engine power under the latter setting. Finally, the automatic brake differential function of the ABS helps keep the H2 moving by braking a spinning wheel or wheels and feeding drive torque to the tire's contact patch with the most grip.

the H2 may prove to be the irresistible object between a rock and hard place.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Car and Driver:

The H2 may not be able to climb a three-foot wall, traverse a 40-percent slope, or straddle a 16-inch boulder, as the H1 can. But it is clearly equipped to be the most capable GM-designed off-roader on the market. It has the strike-force styling of the now-legendary AM General Humvee and its civilian clone the Hummer, though it’s much more refined

Meanwhile, our Mexican mileage has created deep respect, fondness, and admiration for the H2. It is golly-gee easy and reassuring to drive, but it is not a Hummer poseur. It handles serious off-road chores with ho-hum ease, leaving its occupants marveling at the comfort in which they can travel through rough country. For most folks, that will make it the perfect Hummer

The H2, on the other hand, is everything the H1 isn't: comfortable, spacious, and fun to drive on-road and off-. Two days of off-roading and rock crawling outside Moab, Utah, convinced us the H2 can overcome obstacles almost as well as the H1 can (we know because we had an H1 chase vehicle) but in a much more civilized manner and for half the price. GM has done a great job of capturing the look and off-road prowess of the H1 and making the H2 a practical vehicle<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I've got the issues here in front of me. They are actual quotes from actual magazine editors. If you have the issues look them up. You will see that I am right and quoted them word for word.
