Comments on: Hummer launches Black Chrome Limited Edition H2 http://www.leftlanenews.com/hummer-launches-black-chrome-limited-edition-h2.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:23:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: beatusmongous http://www.leftlanenews.com/hummer-launches-black-chrome-limited-edition-h2.html#comment-403969 beatusmongous Fri, 15 Aug 2008 06:05:02 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/?p=8407#comment-403969 Most people buy H2s for bling, not for utility. GM listens to its customers. Unfortunately, its customers are sending very odd messages. My mother has an H2. She bought it because she's short, and the thing makes her feel big. Plus, she's 65 going on 17. Honestly, it's a great vehicle for the driver, but she only ever takes it to the gas station. For road trips, the driver is comfortable and content. The front passenger is also comfortable. But the back... I can't tell you how much pain my wife and I were in after sitting in the back seat for a few hours while on a road trip. It was horrible. I said to my mom, "When we get back, you get rid of this beast and get something else." She didn't, though. She thought about it, but... Turns out, the dealer will only give her around $28k for it, and she paid $72k just a couple of years ago. She only has about 20,000 miles on it, too. But they aren't selling right now. Not enough people are looking for H2 bling thanks to gas prices. As far as capability, I have yet to take this thing off the road. I'm sure it would do fine. However, it won't pull more than a couple of jet skis, thanks to the fact that the engine is struggling to carry the weight of the vehicle alone. My father's Hemi Durango pulls his 29 foot boat, and my mother's H2 pulls only the jet skis. My minivan carries all the people. So I guess it all works out... Oh, and HowsMyDriving, stop calling my mom a schmuck, you jerk! (chiste) Most people buy H2s for bling, not for utility. GM listens to its customers.

My mother has an H2. She bought it because she’s short, and the thing makes her feel big. Plus, she’s 65 going on 17.

But the back…

Seriously, you know what would sell faster than "Black Chrome" Hummer H2s? How about a Duramax-powered H2? This is absolutely pathetic IMHO. When will GM ever listen to its customers?

Or drop all the models and brinh the H1 back with 500+ hp and build em on special order only. Put the Z06 or ZR1 motor in it and sell it for 200,000+. Im sure it will make more money than what its like now. How about better than 63bhp/liter. and maybe make it lighter.

In the process, dropping many of the unleaded models for today's diesel counterparts, as well as eventually throwing in the mix an engine from the upcoming Volt for those who simply want the 'Hummer' image - afterall, that is the only reason many of H2 owners buy the vehicle for.
