...Hummer H2 bu my husband says? no, he wants something that is faster for driving on the highway for my commute to work everyday (40 miles). We also need something that is family friendly because i do have a 11 year old daughter. Is there anyway I could convince him to get the Hummer (they are so hot!) Like is there faster version or something??
 
you want something that is family friendly?? How about environmentally friendly?? Geez, people driving around hummers make me freakin sick! It's such a disgusting waste of dwindling resources!!
40 miles a day in a hummer, hmmmmm, wonder how much gas that will waste!!!
instead of wanting to look cool and 'hot' how about saving some earth for your children's children.
 
If you want a Hummer, then fine. Get it as a stand-by recreational vehicle.

If you want something for the family and commuting, then forget the Hummer. It's not made for either function. It consumes lots of fuel. It's not made to transport family members...maybe some are modified to do so, and other vehicles do better for those functions.

Hummers are great for going off the road. They have a relatively low center of mass. They have great traction compared with other vehicles in less than desirable conditions.

None of this is needed by most commuters and family outings.
 
Since Hummers are not selling due the extremely high price tag as well as the need to own your own gas station, you probably can get a good price. The fact that the Chinese bought Hummer would make me run as far as possible from them. Are you familiar with the dog and cat food and treats, the baby formula, the lead paint on toys? They are all designed to kill us, our babies and our pets. They probably now will program these cars to self-destruct in so many miles. I don't know who you think will consider you "Hot" in one - the majority of people will think you look Stupid for driving one. Even a new one is now considered a "clunker" by the Government. BTW- If you owned the Excursion, you would normally get no more than $2000 for it on a trade, however the CARS program will give you $4500 if you buy a fuel economy car just to the the Ford off the roads.
 
personally i'd massively downsize the car, save on gas, help the environment, and qualify for the cash for clunkers program and save a ton of money, as well.


*geez, judo, i've lost my touch! how embarrassing!
