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?

H2 IS A CAR FOR FAGGOTS AND PIMP WANNA BEES

First hummer is 100000 times better

better for what?

anything

Cool when they don't sell I can get one for a cheap price.

Life keeps getting better :winkwink:

i dont like h2's, someone post the h2 owned pic

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.

Maybe people are realizing what pussy mobiles they are, finally.

Hmm that tax loop hole closed and gas prices went up. Oh well.

cars cost way too much in the first place.

adding to that is that $3 a gallon prediction :helpme

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

dumb, stupid fucking retards

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

amen

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.

H2's are good in the snow... Maybe I can pick one up cheap and throw a plow on it :1orglaugh

I can get brand new one off the lot for $10k off retail value if anyone wants one. I'll give you a good deal. :Graucho

The tax loophole closed? I thought it was good into '05. *shrug*

Anyhow, I'm not an SUV expert, but used '98 H1s are selling for the same price as used '03 H2s. That alone tells me something.

no, comparing covettes and cavaliers isnt right because its two different models.

HUmmers are Hummers, H1 and H2 are easily comparable as they are basically the same car, arguing over the differences is one thing but classifying them as separable as corvettes and cavailiers isnt the right comparison.

If I ever see the army adapting the H2 then I'll agree that Hummers are Hummers :1orglaugh

H1 and H2 are 2 different models also.

Different frames, different engines, different exteriors, different interiors, burn different fuel, different brakes, and have different designations 'H1' and 'H2'. 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?

And ok, comparing corvette to cavalier may have been extreme. Try it with camaro and corvette. Both are chevrolet sports cars, but yet they are very different. Same with the Hummers.

as i said arguing over differences is silly.

me and the rest of the world see HUmmer and thats all they are, for you enthusiasts who love Hummer sure the samantics of add ons and accesories i am sure is more than pacifying, but to the rest of us they are just Hummers.

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.

simple./

Yeah and those are the same fucking retards that speak about things they nothing about, thus showing thier ignorance. And thats what i was pointing out. Fucking clowns that most likely cant afford either one anyway because they havent figured out how to get past posting sponsor's galleries, looking like fucking idiots on GFY.

Its really nothing new here, just a different day full of the normal bullshit.

so why even let these fuckers get you started about Hummers?

heh.

how many do you own now? I know you have the yellow one, another by now?

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

I prefer the original Hummer! :thumbsup

I want the original one, thats a bad motherfucker

because the H2's are POS's :glugglug

Hell Yeah! :thumbsup

yeah

Let's face it, someone buys a Ferrari or a Bentley for its posing potential, but at least in one he could drive quickly and in the other get around in comfort.

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.

I have to agree with jayeff. 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 think they both suck

LOL I guess a pimp car looks different!

Well when it costs $500 to fill it up it loses its appeal. lol

Mouhahaha, I love the pinto

nice sig :1orglaugh

H1 rocks:thumbsup

:thumbsup

H2's are just too damm big to operate in the city....

Jeep wrangler's are much more suited for off roading and rolling in the city and they are insanely cheap on gas.

I've always liked Jeeps, just not enough to buy one....yet.
If your looking for off-road ability and fairly comfortable highway driving check out a Sonoma. 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).
