why all the fuss? Well, it breaks down like this:
The H2 is the ultimate poseur vehicle. It has the chassis of a Chevy
Tahoe and a body that looks like the original Hummer; i.e. it's a
Chevy Tahoe in disguise.
The H2 is a gas guzzler. Because it has a gross vehicle weight rating
over 8500 lbs, the US government does not require it to meet federal
fuel efficiency regulations. Hummer isn't even required to publish
its fuel economy (owners indicate that they get around 10 mpg for
normal use). So while our brothers and sisters are off in the Middle
East risking their lives to secure America's fossil fuel future, H2
drivers are pissing away our "spoils of victory" during each trip to
the grocery store.
The H2 is a polluter. Based on G.M.'s optimistic claim that it gets13
mpg, an H2 will produce 3.4 metric tons of carbon emissions in a
typical year, nearly double that of G.M.'s Chevrolet Malibu sedan.
The H2 is a death machine. You'd better hope that you don't collide
with an H2 in your economy car. You can kiss your ass goodbye thanks
to the H2's massive weight and raised bumpers. Too bad you couldn't
afford an urban assault vehicle of your own. Or could you...?
The H2 is a tax loophole. Under the current tax laws, business owners
can deduct nearly half the cost of their H2s. If you are in the
highest tax bracket, that's a tax savings of nearly $10,000! The
government rewards you more savings for buying an H2 than you'd get
for buying an electric car.
So, if you see it our way, tell a Hummer owner what you think and
show 'em the bird. If you do, send us a picture--we'd love to post it
on our site.
