I actually never meant to piss anyone off, but when pushed up agaisnt a wall, I'll depend myself, my family and my friends.

I get asked all the time, Why I bought a H2 or how much gas does it take to fill up. I never response like some of you did in this forum. I love my H2, because it is different, big, box-ie and just sooo damn cool looking!

I wouldn't really consider an H2 any more out of the box than an H3. They are both very unique in their styling compared to anything in their individual classes.

I would have to say you got the reaction you got because of how you posed the question. As I read your original post I certainly assumed that was the reaction you were trying to draw out and that is also why you came across as an AE. Who know whether you are or not and I don't really care.

I considered an H2 rather than the H3 but went with the H3 for several reasons. First was the size, the H3 fits better in my day to day life than the H2. Second would be what probably keeps many for going with the H2, fuel economy. This reason was by no means the deciding factor but it was something I considered. The third and probably biggest reason was the as you put it, the outside of the box side of the H3. Around here there are still far lower numbers of H3s running around than there are H2s. I would have to say I see a minimum of 6 or 7 H2s for every H3 I see. I wanted a Hummer because I love their styling, not because they are some kind of status symbol. Since I knew I wanted a Hummer and the H1 was out of my budget, well at least one with a decent amount of warranty left, it was between the H2 and H3. Since I wanted something a little unique that meant it came down to an SUT or an H3. Ultimately the H3 won for overall practicality for my daily life and its uniqueness right now. Granted, in a couple of years when I am ready for a new one the uniqueness will probably be gone for the H3 so maybe it will be an H4 next
