Ford Raptor
I just saw a post of someone looking at an alternative to the H2. I saw the Ford Raptor mentioned so I said hey what is this thing. So here is what really chaps my ass... How is it that ford makes something that has 35" tires on it with what appears to be a great suspension and will drink gas but GM cannot keep the Hummer brand alive? I know it has a lot of overhang but wait and see, the Raptors will be all over the road. If you don't think Obama and the greenies shut down Hummer, they you need to have your head checked. H2s would still be selling today. Hell, the Raptor does not even have 4 doors. Once they fogure out they can sell this thing in an SUV format, Ford will be making money hand over fist. I bet there are plans for a diesel too. As much as it hurts me to say it, GM got what they deserved when they got in bed with with the feds.

Re: Ford Raptor
but the fact that ford didnt need to take any goverement money for bailout, and also the fact that ford is the only car company actually making money..... im sure they can do what they want right now.
as for hummer staying alive.... just look at the numbers.
when a car company is only selling 11k cars a year, its pretty obvious that it is circling the drain. if anything, the goverment only sped up the death of Hummer by maybe a year or 2, but it was still dying.
i would be somewhat interested in a Ford hummer type vehicle if they ever build something like it... when they can push 300Hp from a V6, ya im impressed.
