I can't say I am surprised, Hummer has a terrible image and in a world where environmentalists slander first and check facts later they never stood a chance.
"They use too much gas"
"They are too expensive"
"They are unreliable"
Believe me, I have heard them all... but the fact is my H3T gets better mileage real world mileage than a Toyota Tacoma, has the range of a Golf TDI Diesel, cost less than a Jeep Rubicon (seriously I paid less than 32K for mine even with the off-road pacakge) and comes with all the off-road goodies like Blisten off-road shocks, 1:69 crawl ratio, electronic F&R lockers, AWD, skid plates & stock 33" tires. It also has a substantial list of standard features and touches of luxury extras which you don't usually find on vehicles under the 50K price range.
I can't really comment on the reliability of it yet, it still has to earn that with me.
Really it isn't a bad package if you can get past the ugly persona
In the end it was all too little too late, it would have taken another 5 or 6 years to change the perception of the Brand and with people still pimping out H2's with giant rims I don't really think it was ever going to happen.
i thought the H4 was the JK?
The H4 was a pipe dream, it was never going to happen.
I imagine it would probably have ended up like the Jeep Compass... they both started out with an inspiring 2dr concept with giant tires, only to become a re-badge version of an economy car. It is too bad, I was excited about the Compass for years.... such a heart breaker.
