What is the Hummer image? Or rather what do think other drivers on the road think of the Hummer drivers?

Example, when people see a Ferrari, they think “Playboy.” a new S600 or new BMW 7, they think “Fat Cat or Rich.” A messed up old van, I think “Mass Murderer.” beat up old car with headliner falling half way down, the image is “loser.” etc.. So what about Hummer drivers? “*******.” “Arrogant.” “Spoiled brat.” I know Hummer as or PR says succesfull individual, average income etc.. but we know those are PR talks to build the image.

Irrelevant and inconsequential, just for fun. What do you think they think?

Hung like a stack of dimes?

From what I've seen, I'd say "arrogant". Too bad it doesnt seem to be true for the most part. Most of the people I've met here and the H2 driver's I've talked with are quite nice. Just very proud of their ride.

If I get any commrnts other than its neat or cool.. My retail cutomers usually will say something like "Man we sure know who makes the Money" I just tell them that if you spread the payments out far enough they don't cost anymore than a Kia payment.

Hmmmm...

I think when I roll out of the H2, people realize I need a vehicle like this just to fit in. I mean, get real... Besides a Tahoe/Escalade or Excursion, there really isn't another SUV that a guy my size feels comfortable sitting in. And to dispel any myths about inadequacies, just make it a point to accidentally make your manhood fall out from your unzippered pants as you exit the vehicle since you know... everyone is watching the guy in the H2.

I have 2 vehicles, thats all I want. For every Hummer owner with 2 vehicles, there got to be one with 10 vehicles. I actually know 1 or 2 people with 10 cars, but they are exceptionally rare. I thought the Hummer PR release of income was much higher, which I did not believe. $75K is reasonable but not easy to feed the family and the Hummer at the same time after Uncle Sam takes his share.

I think I fit both of PhilD's categories, Nice Guy for sure, trying to stay young & trendy before it slips away, well I guess so now that he exposed me. Short I am not. I don't think the Hummer image was a big part of my purchase decision, but I sure found out that super sized image came no charge with the Hummer, I was used to the high profile cars, but they were nothing like the Hummer. It is logical to assume others on the road think PhilD is one or combo of these 3: nice, old or short.

Image could be 50% of most auto sale decision, don't you think so? thats where hundreds of millions of advertising dollars went.

I would say arrogant *******. That is the image it projects. I think MOST Hummer guys are nice. But there are a few who you can tell are pissed that there are other H2s on the road and that a young guy like me is driving it. Those are arrogant *******s. Noc, I'm 24, I was 23 when I bought mine.

I would say "someone having their mid-life crisis".
