The Suburban measures 79.80 inches for width and 219.30 inches for length. H2 is shorter at 189.8 inches but is wider at 81.2 inches (excluding mirrors). I think the width plus the extra height make it harder to navigate and it "feels" bigger than the Suburban. Amazingly enough the H3 is even wider than the H2 (or so the brocheure indicates) at 85.5 inches (excluding the mirrors). I never minded the gas fillups on the Suburban as there was just less times to have to stop for gas--which to me is a time saver, especially when traveling long distances. The H2 is just a monster where I live--I have only seen 1 or 2 of them and they are huge in comparison to most SUV's on the market--not to mention cars. Plus there seems to be a lot of folks around here that are into "gas conservation" and although the Suburban gets slightly more gas mileage than the H2 the general public deem the H2 as an unacceptable vehicle--their thoughts not mine. Would hate for someone to throw red paint all over my new white H2--remember the fur coat thing of the 1980's? I am surprised that the H2 gets 12 mpg as I thought it would be more like 8mpg with those big tires.
