Agreed; something that illicits very strong positive response from some, illicits strong negatives from another - bland things illicit indifference.

This explains why children of all ages automatically gravitate towards it, even without coaching or goading by any adults.

It also explains the oft irrational "hate" response it triggers in some adults.

I think it's most jealousy and ignorance. The Hummer H1 H2 H3 are very very very unique and special vehicles. It's like HUMMER says : "like nothing else" !!

I've driven' several vehicles (Jeep wrangler, BMW 525 tds, range rover, Dodge Ram), but the H2 is the best vehicle ever !! I would not want to trade it with anything else in the world.

I live in Belgium Europe. Had the hummer for a year now and have not had one negative remark yet. In the contrary, I get plenty of positive comments. The hummer is very very unique over here. You just don't see 'em, that's maybe why people stare at me...

I know it's been said, but you should detail the vehicles that get similar or worse gas mileage...with the actual mpg's for thise vehicles.

Most of these other vehicles have been around awhile and are obviously less recognizable than the H2, therefore they don't stand out as much.

That being said, I don't really think a jealousy issue. It's part the weak minded idiots that can't form their own opinoins and just follow whatever group they're a part of...like the ignorant Jeep fools or the tree huggin leaf lickers who'll jump on the next thign to hate as a group.

Not sure this helps but just how I feel. It's funny how most of the idiots bashing the H2 do it online, or in my personal experience, flip you off as you pass or yell something stupid as they are walking away.

These idiots group us all into one group and generally dont' know anything about us, it's this ignorance which should also be addressed. At one point, we had a soldier in Iraq postin on the board who couldn't wait to get back home and loves his H2. But to the H2 bashing freaks, WE ARE the one's responsible for the war b/c we need oil! Misguided fools.

Damn I hate these judgmental F**ks!!! They really don't know me / us!
