the intersection of cars and culture

Honestly, who do they think they are fooling? Why would you show all these beautiful shots of spring and nature and then show a gas swilling Hummer (albeit the least gas-swilling of them all) driving through it? And we all know that the most off-roading that a H3 is going to get is when soccer mom backs out of the driveway and runs over the flower bed–because she can’t see out the back window.
The production values are pretty cool, but in the end the whole thing just doesn’t seem “Hummer.”

Hummer lost all brand integrity as soon as they introduced a model inferior to the H1… which was the H2. Everything has gone downhill from there.

I really wish Hummer would die quickly- and leave the real Humvees to AM General.

there’s nothing more laughable than a soccer mom in a hummer. it just looks so wrong.

@Blix- Does anyone really look right in a Hummer? I mean, unless they are wearing camo, but that’s a different Hummer altogether.

Oddly enough of my jeep/Hummer friends, the two H3’s out of the group get the most off road time because they are daily drivers used by outdoor oriented people, rather than the jeep kids who go once a month to break parts and then spend the next 3 weeks fixing it. The H3’s have even pulled a couple of people stuck in their truck out of the mud before. However, I would only drive an H1.

@ Gilldoht
Being an extremely active off roader before my current car, I can guarantee the “off road time” they experience is nothing more than fire roads and the tamest of rated trails.
Nothing stock can do very well on anything decent, since a minimum you need large tires for axle clearance, locking front and rear diffs, and as much suspension travel as you can get.
Thusly, the idea of buying a car from the factory with ideas of really taking it off road is absurd, as the more off-road friendly you make a car, the more on-road unfriendly it becomes.

I love a Hummer in the woods.
Wait. What are we talking about?
