H2's belong in the suburbs.

Wonder how many times they had to be towed from being stuck?

That's actually correct:

A Bummer For The Hummer

Last summer, the Hummer H2 was the hottest thing on four wheels. Buyers eager to get the hulking, militaristic sport-utility vehicle waited months to take delivery and even paid dealers as much as $10,000 on top of the $48,000 sticker price. With profits topping $20,000 per H2, General Motors Corp. (GM ) looked downright clairvoyant for buying the Hummer brand from military contractor AM General Corp. in late 1999. The H2 was a bona fide hit.

Not anymore. Now it looks as if the big beast is starting to lose momentum just as GM is set to start production on its equally pricey pickup version, the H2 SUT, which is due out in June. Plagued by complaints about its abominable fuel economy, cheap interiors, and tiny cabin, the H2 saw sales tumble 33% in January over the previous year, the fifth straight month of declines. In October, GM even cut production. "Selling a Hummer was the easiest job in America," says Los Angeles dealer Howard Drake. "Now it's way harder."

Has Hummer lost its mojo? Not yet, but GM has its work cut out for it. Once on track to sell 40,000 units a year, the auto maker looks headed to move just 30,000 this year. Inventory has risen to 68 days' worth of vehicles -- about average for the industry, but almost triple what dealers carried a year ago. GM is counting heavily on the launch of the smaller, $28,000 to $35,000 H3 next year to boost annual sales to 100,000. To get there, the H3 -- which debuted as a pickup concept in December at the Los Angeles auto show but will appear in '05 as an SUV -- will have to trade on more than combat-truck styling and a macho image.

Why didn't they take their less "metrosexual" counter part, the H1? I have done some real off roading in the macho version (a.k.a military), and man, this thing kicks ass. We would try to find every ditch, rock, and anything that we can subject the car to it's off-road worthiness, almost flip it over a couple of times....

I've heard stories of the original H1's getting stuck all the time during Desert Storm.

May be you need new batteries in your sarcasm meter . What I meant is that soldiers are careless when it comes to government properties. Besides, they think that the H1 can go "anywhere", I was one of them.

They will be driving them less and less, though. As long as gas prices keep rising.

Regular unleaded hit $1.73 here tonight. Matches about the highest I've ever seen it.

Right now, we're sitting at $2.15 /gal for 91 (SoCal).

Bet it's higher now.

It went up $0.25 tonight alone. I found a place with it still at $1.48 on the way home w/the kiddos so I got that. But, honestly, to me, it doesn't matter much. I'd like to see it hit about $2/gallon and stay there!

while the original is pretty capable, it's much much wider than a grand cherokee, so the grand cherokee can do things the humvee can't

Highest I saw was $1.59 today.

Around here locally, the H2's are building up on the Used Car parking lots....and staying. Apparently people are getting over the H2 phase and realizing they are a piece of absolute crap. H1 > H2 though the H1 is heavily overpriced....ever since GM took over that is. They have doubled in price.

you guys see these yet?? it was a comparo between the Military Humvee and the hummer H1. pretty interesting.

nice shot of the H1 in the mud too.

 

[AMCRambler]

Wow! I always thought the H2 was less capable of that kind of stiff than the H1. Thought of it as the yuppy-fied version of a Hummer. All that plastic and the narrower, taller look, made it seem like it wasn't made to do that kind of stuff. Not bad though! Still, what would you rather take into the jungles of Brazil, an H1 or an H2? Me, I'd say give me that all metal pig of an H1.
