CNN Money Article - H3's "lazy fat guy"

[Vincent]

I can't believe how this guy bashes the H3 in his article.

Cnn Article

"going uphill - and your macho ride suddenly feels like a six-year-old pulling a wagon full of cinder blocks."

And the other comment: "the H3's "lazy fat guy" power-to-weight ratio"

I haven't had any problems with feeling like a lazy fat guy while driving my H3!

He also states that the "H3 is particularly narrow and tall, a profile that generally maximizes the tendency to tip over"

Is this guy for real? I don't think the H3 is much taller than other mid sized suv's and it definitely isn't any narrower!

i agree with a lot of what he says, i dont think its a bad article, its pretty accurate, totally wrong about the tipping over tho haha.. but i hate my side pockets built in the door... practically useless except as a wallet holder ya know?

Haven't read the article yet but considering the source, CNN, would you expect anything good to be said about the H3?

CNN= Liberal= Hummer haters.

Exactly

I get pissed when the wife turns on CNN by habit if she wants some national/international news

[montanah3]

Narrow! (How can you be narrow and fat at the same time?!?!) It barely fits into my garage and I hold my breath anytime I have to pass a big rig or RV on a two lane bridge! And that horrible roll over tendency-- yeh, that's why it is such a good off-roader. But consider the source.

I would be will ing to bet not many libs drive Hummers and the people that do they think are for war for oil(twisted thinking) and that is why they hate Hummer owners so much.

Well the review was pretty much right on with pluses and minuses Over all pretty favorable.

if you want a bad review Read this brief over when our local reporter took an H2 for a drive a couple of years ago..

BTW watch the liberal remark, there are a few of us on here

[Georgemarc]

Keep in mind, it is a review, one person's thoughts. He was just off on a few things, way off actually, but only on those few.
I would think that the only 100% positive review would come from one that owns one, and even then, 100% positive would be a bit biased I believe.

[VTSTOMPER]

Well, CNN can kiss my ass! That was so far off...and to think I had them as a start page on my desktop.

I belong at Fox News anyway.

[Vincent]

I guess the comparisons caught me a little off guard. I've driven my H3 6000 miles now, and have only had the feeling of "a 6 year old pulling a wagon full of cinder blocks" while pulling a 12x5 enclosed trailer.

His comparison sounds like the H3 can barely make it up a hill.

Sent to CNN:

Peter,



As a proud H2 owner I can tell you this. You are way off on some points.



1) I can see out of my H2 SUT just fine, there are NO blind spots.

2) Your topic about the ride – the H2 rides no harsher than other SUV’s I have driven. In-fact, I feel my H2 rides better than GM’s Denali. Did you drive another SUV to compare the H3 to? Say the Durango (Dodge), Grand Cherokee (Jeep), LR3 (Land Rover)? Or did you drive around in a Lincoln town car and then hop into the H3 for a quick comparison?

3) Telling people not to consider the H3 – because others might make you happier? Are you Pro USA or are you into selling the economy down the river? Honestly CNN has been my home page for years, and I would never have thought I would have seen an article this bias. It is like you drove an H3 around in a metro area ONLY and then went totally negative about it. Hummer (GM) built this truck to offer people a better choice of SUV in a smaller size with a higher MPG rating.





Let down,
myself

Very nice VTSTOMPER!

You should have also included a blurb on safety...

What other vehicle can drive where you can go get ****-faced drunk, do donuts, roll your vehicle several times and end up in the pool and not only you come out okay, but the car looks good too...but wet?

What other vehicle can have a 17-year old not pay attention, run a red light and run into a big ass SUV and come out okay...with the cab in perfect condition?

H3 - Like Nothing Else.

Okay, so it was a stretch, but safety is a big one. Insurance costs are cheap on the vehicle as well. Where are all aspects of the H3 in the review? Nowhere! I can see out of everything...and the comment about an armored truck? Um, hello, it's modeled after the H1! And who primarily uses them? Oh yeah, military!

Are you really going to pay attention to the CommunistNewNetwork?
