Even as GM fails, Hummer owners keep singing its praises

Published: 03 June, 2009, 03:10


The fall of U.S. auto giant General Motors hasn’t diminished the huge demand for its off-road vehicle, the Hummer. The brand was among only a few that has increased sales in Russia amid the worldwide financial crunch.

The Hummer H2 isn't a real Humvee, it is just the name brand. The H2 is just a Chevy Tahoe chassis with better undercarrage with the sparkling Hummer look. The H1 is the civilian model of the Military Humvee, the one Arnold Schwarznegger bought. These, I haven't seen on the streets of Moscow yet.

Yes, Artyom, Hummer H2 isn't a Humvee- they are two different models and no one would argue about this. But this fact doesn't stop H2 to be a good at off-road! If you are in doubts- just have a look at rushummer com at Club Life: you'll probably see few videos, which will change your disregard in relation to H2 and H3. Best regards!

I was making note because the news article stated its military origins, but H2 has none other than the looks of the body. Anyways, I have no doubt it is fun and no way slight those who buy and enjoy them! There is a video somewhere out on the internet of a Lada Niva beating an H2 in a tug of war contest... The Niva was on a slight decline to offset the weight advantage. ))) It is good passion and good to be outdoors. Thanks for the link! Peace )))
