After searching, I've seen no official data from the http://www.safercar.gov/ website. Why hasn't Hummer/GM gone through with any of these tests?

Sure it looks like a tank and feels like a tank. But does it crash like one? :-)

I feel very safe in my '05 H2. Just interested in knowing how good it is in metal matchups.

It's been kind of fun reading the theroies on how this might have happened. So here it is. It was kind of a freak thing not a particularly challenging area. Just heading down a mountain road with the mountain to the left and the road pitching to the right. There was a bad section of road and I picked a line through but the passenger's side front wheel fell into a hole and stopped. The truck flipped up and came down on the roof then rolled a couple times down the road. Tires came off getting it to the car carrier to put it to sleep. Ran like a champ right to the end. I was alone in the truck and recieved no injuries. They have every color except white in stock and ready to roll off the lot but I think I'm going to wait a couple weeks to get a white H2. I think it will hide scratches better. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
