    Hummer no longer the cool car - dealers can't get rid of them

    Sales of the flagship Hummer H2 have fallen for eight consecutive months, and 24 percent in the first four months of the year, compared with the same periods a year earlier. G.M. has resorted to rebates and financing deals, which have become standard for every Detroit brand but Hummer. Inventories piled up as Hummers sat unsold 62 days on average in the first quarter, compared with 15 days a year earlier. And G.M. is now using leases, which are less lucrative than sales, to move a quarter of its volume of H2's, according to J. D. Power & Associates.

      Maybe the price of gas has something to do with it?

                              They do seem pretty lame. How the fuck did Humvee go from a big ass kicking machine for rich rednecks and vietname vets to to the utlimate suv for punk ass losers.

                                          cars cost way too much in the first place.

                                          adding to that is that $3 a gallon prediction

                                              i believe i read something like the h2 is not as tough as h1. i think they went too commercial with it.

                                                  when are you clowns going to figure out that the h2 and h1 are totaly different vehicles? The only thing they have in common is 4 tires and the hummer name.

                                                  Would you compare a corvette to cavalier because they both are chevrolets? well why not, you do it with the hummers

                                                      Yeah gas prices right now make owning something like that insane.

                                                              I would rather check the Toronto auto auction for a used H1 for the same price or less. The H2's remind me too much of a plain old Yukon.

                                                                              Would you compare a corvette to cavalier because they both are chevrolets? well why not, you do it with the hummers

                                                                              dumb, stupid fucking retards

Built in different assembly plants. And those of use that have owned both can tell you, the both ride and drive totaly different.

                                                                                      How different does something have to be, for you to be convinced?

                                                                                          One can EASILY tell the difference between Covettes and Cavavliers, that was my point and an easy one to grasp I might add.

                                                                                          Ask th world to tell the difference between cavaliers and corvettes, its possible. Do the same with H1 and H2 and most cannot.

                                                                                                      heh.

                                                                                                      im doing google image searches looking at old Vettes, what a spicy car

                                                                                                      love these things.
                                                                                                      I dont own any hummers now., I moved on to other things but have been considering buying another H1 in the near future, but havent made up my mind yet. The only thing is they ride like shit on the interstate and are hard to park, and I really get tired of people asking me questions about it everytime I stop at a gas station. I loved my H2 but was always afraid of getting it scratched the few times I took it offroad.

                                                                                                      Btw thats a nice vette, I had a 75, 96 & 98

                                                                                                                              A Hummer on the other hand says nothing but hey, I'm wealthy enough to buy an expensive vehicle and stupid enough to buy this box on wheels. Even if you take his choice as a genuine reflection of personal taste, you can only assume a Hummer driver fancies himself as Rambo. That's about as cool as going out dressed as Tony the Tiger.

Hummers are a status symbol, and not much more. If you actually wanted OFFROAD capability there are other vehicles that are a fraction of the price that can either match the hummers capabilities stock or are easily modified to do so. The H1 is an amazing vehicle for the military, but its turned into a grocery getter for 99% of owners.

I have a 2002 Sonoma and it amazes the hell out of me off-road. We have some tough tough trails out here and even making first tracks up a remote cutline on the side of a mountain with 3 feet deep puddles and knee deep snow it was fine (in 4x4 of course).
