While that is a good commercial as far as making people want to buy an H2, I really disagree with the whole premise of the commercial. It displays VERY irresponsible off-road travel by cutting through the switchbacks and leads people to 4 probable assumptions.
1)H2's need to cheat to win (not saying thats true, just a possible assumption.
2)Cutting across switchbacks is perfectly okay! (which is obviously false to those of us who wheel responsibly)
3)Further distances a big portion of the 4WD community from the Hummer brand because it shows irresponsible off-road travel
4)Further worsens the image of the 4WD community to the general public, just as MANY commercials have been doing lately.
Personally, I give that commercial a big thumbs down, and I get furious every time I see it or any of the commercials like it. It's not the worst out there, I'll leave that to the lazy asses in the Honda who were too stupid to take the bikes off the roof instead of making their own "shortcut" through a mountain field.
