I wish the case was that i am ignorant, but unfortunately I know several folks that own H2's. I personally own a H1 and other capable offroad vehicles that put even the H1 to shame (which in it's own right is like apples to oranges between the capabilities between the H1 and H2/H3). The link is nothing more than a soccer dad trying to defend his vehicle. A good analogy would be to take a srt-4 neon- extend the frame a bit, toss in a different tranny, throw a pseudo looking viper body kit on it and call it a Viper2 and market it to the masses at a 3rd the cost.
Back on target for this forum, the Ford GT is a beautiful car, and this mockery of a Hummer should be burned for trying to emulate it in any way.

Thank You. It seems that the majority of people getting upset when I let them know the H2 is a wanna be hummer are the actual H2 drivers or people who want one. The H2 is as much a hummer, as a viper go-klart offered by mopar, is a viper. H2's are nice vehicles but its just annoying hearing the owners referring to their "hummers." I think the right to say the name alone is what got agood amount of people to buy it.
If they made a 40-50k ferrari you can guarantee they would sell as many as they can produce simply because people want the name. It is amazing how bad some people need to feel important.
Once again, H2's are nice vehicles but I think the ego bubble surrounding them needs to be burst from time to time.
