New Hummer is a flop

Well well well, looks like GM screwed up again. I saw this on the news last night and decided to look it up for myself.

Turns out the new hummer design has quite a few major problems. When your wheels start randomly falling off, you might want to get that checked out

jeez the Hummer H2 is only goodfor driving the gas prices up,, they can't really offroad(saw a video but it was a while ago, where it droives ofer little rocks and the azle splits) and now it's facing focus like drivetrain problems (The Focus was recalled for the same problem) man, I don't even know why people even buy those things.

Hey, you all act like it's terrible, when I get the worst of it. Menomonee Falls (15 minutes away from downtown Milwaukee, in the suburbs) Bergstrom constructed the world's first independent Hummer Dealer ever. It has an offroad test track, including climbing a 17 inch straight up wall, going up a 60 degree angle, splashing through 2 feet of water, going over little spherical hump thingies, and going sideways at a 45 degree angle. I'll have to admit, it was pretty cool (I got to ride in a test drive, you don't have to consider buying one to test them) but since this dealer opened up, I've seen LOADS of Hummers EVERYWHERE. I'm not kidding, I see at least one H1 everyday, and at least five H2's every day. It's TERRIBLE.

Yo change the title because the H2 is not a new vehicle. When I first opened up the thread, I thought you were talking about the H3, which is new. The H2 is old enough that it can't be called a new model.
I'm actually happy about it, maybe they'll stop producing them.

EDIT: Are you talking about the H2 SUT or the original H2?

And for the kind of money you're paying you think you're going get something solid / durable?

well when i saw it on TV, they were showing a movie of the new Hummer, the one with the new body styling, newer than last years H2


and to point out something to whoever said its got problems from being an automatic, .....even the H1 is automatic, the army decided that an auto would have less problems and be easier for more men to be able to actually drive it well

or suburbans. why dont they buy something thats actually capable. if they cant afford an enzo, they can most likely afford a saleen s7. all thats cool about those massive suv's, is that if you get in a crash, if you dont flip over, you probably wont get hurt as much as in a lightweight performance car. all they will get is a hell of alot more bullet proof armor on a suburban/hummer/escalade, but i bet you can put just as much on a continental gt
