Hummer Spot On History Channel 2nite

[ticket2ride]

I thought the show was pretty dumb. It glossed over things, and distorted H1 facts and H2 facts.

The said the H1 gets 12 MPG, but it really gets 13 to 15, on diesel. The H2 tends to get 12, on gas. The few H1s made that ran gas got 5 to 6.

They said the H1 costs $122,000.00 but no one ever pays that. You can get one brand spanking new and fully loaded for $80,000, and the military never paid more than about $25,000 for theirs.

They said the H2 is just an SUV with GM parts -- neglecting the fact that H1 has a GM engine and interior, etc. and neglecting the fact that the H2 has many redesigned and new parts, shares some with the H1, and had a locker before the H1, etc.

They said the H1 cannot roll over. Hmm. what's this?

Anything can roll. The H2 has the exact same side slope ability as the H1, but accomplishes it with less width!

They showed an H1 running over a car, which is about the worst image you can put out to the public. They went out of their way to emphasize the bling-bling factor of the trucks and not the utility: they go on and on about the head turning, MSRP, etc. That's Tactical to Practical? Come on. If your Practical is fashion, then maybe you have a point.
