Ahh yes the Hummer 2 or as I prefer to call it, the "Hummeroid". Pseudomilitary; neither a particularly good off road vehicle or a particularly good on road vehicle, or even a particularly good compromise. Seems to have the worst of both.

Now wait.

The Hummer, or now Hummer I, is not a reskinned GMC truck. It's an AM
General designed military vehicle and quite successful.

The Hummer 2, or, as I like to call it, the "joke on Soccer Moms
everywhere", is a GMC Suburban with a completely silly body, lots of cool
lights and less interior space.

Sure, and the Hummer or HUMVEE or reskinned-GMC-truck or whatever it
really is under the badge.  Would you rather drive a V-12
Jaguar or a Hummer?

All the best,
Jim

"Los Angeles Latinos elevate the suspension."  Aren't you going in the
wrong direction here?  Wrong group to lower anything.  Maybe a redneck
with a mullet to raise it.

And are you suggesting that a Thing is an ugly thing????
