I've heard that the hummer's is just the only difference from an otherwise explorer type chasy making it hardly decent for any sort of offroading. Who knows?
I do not like many SUV's in general. I drive a VW bug, I like to believe I'm being more environmentally sound than those soccer moms driving their massive suburbans, however every car has its drawbacks for the environment....might as well pick your poisen.
This topic brings to mind the movie "Be Cool" which was the sequal to "Get Shorty" the movie was awful however it did talk about how awful the mileage was for hummers, something like 9 a gallon? Jeez. I get around 35 highway with mine, I love my car to pieces however it has this awful tendency to get hit in the bumper...
I believe the government should put a ban on the number of SUV type vehicles produced every certain number of years and then see where the gas-prices fall and see how much we save.
Who knows, everything is so controversial.
