The H1 is the only vehicle that screams "testosterone overdose" and "testosterone deficiency" at the same time!

It just proves that some people will buy anything as long as they think it says "I have more money than you".

Ummm...source?

If it's true, I assume they're still building them for the military. The H1 is the only Hummer that is (was?) actually capable off-road. The other two are just GM SUV's with overweight bodies and weak tie rods.

edit: http://www.autoblog.com/2006/05/13/h...ty-next-month/

The military version is still being made, the civilian version isn't. Which is just as well, seeing as how most Hummer owners mainly want image anyhow.

But the H1 was the only true off road vehicle of the bunch. You can't beat its' off road capability. I could see that there wouldn't be a huge demand for that massive truck though.

When I lived outside of Boston a guy in my neighbor hood had an H1. I never got to see him try to drive in the snow, but I bet he had no problem and a LOT of fun.

No, it's not. The H2, H3, G wagon....well, lets make it short. Most large SUV's scream that unless I see a hitch, or some dirt on the tires.

Seeing how they only sold about 12,000 units in 12 years on the non-military side... i'm suprised it didn't get canned sooner.

Post The Few......

Sales so far this year - 100.

I think that says it all, it has become a symbol of excess, and it's demise is also symbolic.

Ironically, its new diesel option actually gets better mileage than both the H2 and H3!
