Good-bye Hummer, it was great.

While I know it is suicide to post this I thought I would do it anyway. Having owned a Hummer for many years and trying to get another one recently it just did not seem to work out. The dark cloud over the Hummer brand and will or will they not be around caused me to go look at Jeeps. The employee pricing and rebates made them extremely attractive. Sure, they don't have the room, mass, ride, and appearance of the H2, but then they have been around awhile and know what they are doing. They are also a third the price of a H2.

So we took the plunge and got a brand new Wrangler and must tell you while it does not have the interior room, ride, etc. of the H2 it is really a fun vehicle to drive. I live in Arizona so there are hundreds of square miles of off-road trails that are really enjoyable. We went the same places we did in the H2 and it was really great.

Certainly there is no vehicle that does it all, as the H2 has the room and first class interior but the Jeep has advantages as well. Much better on gas and easier to drive and maneuver around trails. I have wanted a manual transmission for a long time and it really has great lugging power.

I will miss the Hummer and had it not been for all the quesitons about the future etc. I may have hung in there. But in the mean time we are still off roading and having a great time in what I find to be a very nice vehicle.

My thanks for the many years of great advice from you fellow Hummer owners and I will keep an eye on the website as I will always care about Hummer. This is a great Forum and does an outstanding job of allowing for the exchanging of ideas, help, advice and opinions. Thanks again.
