Um... get yer facts straight.

GM bought the rights to use the name from American Motors or whoever it is that makes the original Hummer. Then they slapped some retarded body on the Silverado chassis. The H2 and H3 had NOTHING to do with the original Hummer in any way other than name.

They bastardized the hummer name and made the h2/h3 attempt to have somewhat similar appearance/style as the h1. I don't think his facts are that far off at all.

A lot of you seem to believe the HMMWV is the best vehicle ever, but it's not. It's heavy and wide, and the independent suspension components tend to break under heavy offroad use.

I don't see anybody anywhere calling the Hummer the best vehicle ever.
I do think the HummVee or HMMWV has a real purpose, and that it does a decent job serving it's purpose. I also believe that the H2/H3 have no real purpose and they are just bloated grocery getters.

Looks tight; I'd buy one. Basically a Hummerized Toyota FJ.

Or a plastics engineer at Fisher Price.



(Sorry, but I've never heard of Damon Albarn.)
