"Hummer is making a serious run at Jeep's claim to be the premier American
off-road SUV"

HA! Then climb in your H2 and follow me around Moab for a day!

Hope they do make a serious challenge - Jeep could do with a bit of a kick
up the ass frankly.

H1 is the only serious off-road vehicle, but for $90K you could roll over
your Rubi and have a couple of spares in the garage :-)

I can think of nothing better than Hummer moving down into the
Jeep size/price range and giving DC a freaking wakeup call it
so terribly needs. And even very happy that DC is moving up
to the Hummer range. The more folks in the market segment
the better I like it.

John was reminding us of his feeble attempt to validate his existance. The H1
and H2 are still built by AM General, the H2 is based on GM running gear and
are sold at GM dealerships, but AFAIK Hummers aren't technically a GM brand. I
might be wrong on this, though.

That said, I'd take a Jeep Rescue over an H2 any day of the week.
