not buyin it to take it off road. who gives a shit what the neighbors think, u buy it because u can and because u like it....fuk a jeep anyway, only good for a second car and to beat it up offroad, not anything else...

eh, so you have a Tahoe, agree that the H2 is basically a Tahoe with a bigger body.

So why do you want a Hummer? You admit it's not to take it offroad? You want it for the seating capacity? Luxury?

no body can come close to hummer? thats why the military got rid of an assload of hummers and replaced them with mercedes. i agree, hummers are bad-ass. i've even been through military humvee school while i was in the marine corps. we built an obsticle corse for hummers with a little pond we dug with bulldozers. the drivers inside could hardly keep their kead above water. but the military is phasing out hummers for mercedes, and the mercedes are even better.

yeah right, the h2 wont out perform the h1 or the new mercedes that the military now uses. even a dodge ram-hemi 4x4 will out preform off road. and guess you forgot that jeep is the most widely used off road vehicle. i dont see them using h2's to climb those rocky hills.

+100000000...its for rich people who think a bigger car that they will never use for its purpose makes them more intimidating.....

well i think its pointless to buy a car for the social symbol....its like people that buy escalades....are they buying them because they are nice looking suv or because xibit has one.....are you buying an h2 because they are a nice lookin car or because you want to think you have cash........

http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/future/ Click "FJ Cruiser". REALLY old news. I expected this thread to be about the Toyota Megacruiser. Huge inline 4 turbodiesel. http://www.megacruiser.com Coulda sworn I saw an I5 version somewhere though.
