Agreed. I've never thought much of the H2--a Tahoe with a few minor tweaks, only less useful. Now the H3, from some things I've read, is actually more practical and competitive in its market segment, even if it is still ass-ugly.
The H1, of course, is still a specialist vehicle. Most of them I've seen have been rolling billboards for businesses (the local Outback Steakhouse franchisee has one gussied up with a fancy Outback paintjob).

Spare us the "social scientist's rhapsodic view" of what the Hummer means "psycho-socially" as a statement of late blooming "X-genner's" rejection of it father's wretched excesses in the automobile as a social statement of cultural milieu.
The damn things are as ugly as home-made soap or a mud fence...and almost as ugly as the the dolts who smugly drive them.
