I didn't see it as a threadjack, my statement was what I liked about Hummers. Pick up any magazine like MotorTrend, Automobile, Car&Driver and about what new models are available to the American Market, and you'll see hundreds of vehicles. When I travel overseas, I stop by newsstands to look at what the local magazines are and usually flip through automotive magazines. I'm usually quite surprised by alot of what I see, based on vehicle and engine size availability.
It is a simple fact that I like the fact that they exist because they give choices to other people who choose to purchase them for whatever reasons they want. The OP stated to state why I like them, specifically what redeeming qualities they had. That is my reason for liking them. I don't have to like them for space, size, status symbol. I like them because they show that a market will bear whatever it bears, whether I like it or not, however stupid I may think about people who are purchasing them.
