My 3rd line bought one.  He told me he got it more for its uniqueness than for any sort of luxury. He says the fuel mileage is horrible but he expected that.  He also said the width makes it difficult to park in older parts of town where the streets are narrower.  He's thinking of keeping it for another year or two and trading it in for a Land Rover.

Personally, when I look at the H2 the most prominent feature I see is lost opportunity.  They look like they're comfortable inside and all, but I thought it was telling when I saw the head designer saying that all he wanted was for the car to convey the concept of 'big'.  Not useful, not nice, not strong, but just 'big'.  Buying it because it's different is fine, but I'd probably get something like a Suburban (the two are almost mechanically identical) or Yukon before I'd get the H2.  

BTW, I'm no raving hippy loon, I considered getting the H2 earlier this year, but considering how crippled it is in comparison to the Humvee (now known as the H1, I guess?), I figured I'd save my money and eventually get one of those instead.

This doesn't answer your question, and I apologize if it's off topic, but...  well, here's a picture that sums up my problem with the H2:



Notice that the opposing truck looks to be in better shape.  The H2 crumpled like tin foil.  My expectation would be that an HMMWV would have weathered that better.  Plus, it's shielded against EMP (and about a thousand other neat features).

I can not get past the looks of the H2, we got a Escalade with more toys then the H2 had for the same price.  And I like the looks of the Caddy way better.

Always thought Hummers look to over the top and pretty ridiculus overall.

 f I had that kind of money to choose between fourwheel drives this would be high on my list. Or if it's just going to be a pavement princess then those big black Ram trucks look pretty good on the road.

lol  Skuzzy!!!

H2's are Tahoes. Sowwy to swquash yur lil egos for those of you who have them. Same frame, same Motor, same drive train. Blah blah blah.

Take away the H2 stamps all over the dam thing. The rediculous rubber bumpers, side skirts, fender flares, horrid looking grille and you have a stripped down Tahoe. With a body lift... Yay!:rolleyes:

Ultimate Poser ride.

H1 or you may as well buy a Grand Cherokee.
