I am not sure if its the price tag, the people who uses these vehicles as road queens, or the "green" people who just dont understand. But this vehicle, that gets just about as good of fuel milage as a Ford F150, and the same as a Ford Excursion, gets a bad rap for nothing more than its looks and stature.
Forgive me if I offend anyone, but there is a lady in my town with a Black hummer, all decked out in chrome. She has the big chrome HUMMER on the rear bumper, and to top it off, a large chrome HUMMER sticker on the front windshield. Like people do not know its a hummer, and to me, she just wants to flaunt it. That , IMHO gives that rest of us a bad rap. We are looked at as people with something to prove, and *******s.
My Jeep, a small light weight vehicle, gets areound 12-14 MPG, and no one has said Boo about it, and very few hate them... Why? Well they are cheap, rustbuckets, anyone who wants one can get one.....can....
The H3, a more capable offroad rig in my area due to tight trails, is called a womans machine... probably due to the H2's rep as being a car for the small penis people...
It makes me sick!
