Re: HUMMER ranks 34/36
One reason may be the fact that Hummer does not sell as many units at all the others.

Re: HUMMER ranks 34/36
If you are asking if you should buy a hummer the answer is yes! Dont let the publications written by some dolt that probably never drove a hummer sway you one way or another. My 06 has a tad over 10K miles on it and i cannot say enough good things about the truck. It truly is an amazing vehicle. It is totally NOT mainstream which is why it gets rated low. If they want to run a report that has some validity in my mind, then compare apples to apples. How can you compare the Hummer brand to Toyota? Does Toyota have a similar vehicle...no they dont. Its like anything else that the libs come up with. Lets figure out what answer we want....then "massage" the data to reflect that answer WHICH proves its validity and correctness.

Re: HUMMER ranks 34/36
I think some leaf lickers are getting ahold of the surveys.

Re: HUMMER ranks 34/36
you know...only 3 american cars are on their "best bet" list. We've owned a "bad bet" trailblazer since 2004 and have never had ONE problem with it, great fit and finish, runs like a scared rabbit.
Could the overseas carmakers be lining the consumer report magazines pockets? Inquiring minds want to know!

Re: HUMMER ranks 34/36
CR tends to favor "reliable" vehicles, which means SUVs that aren't in the shop much. H2s are in the shop a lot more than other vehicles - if you wheel, you have damage, it's that simple. They also have a lot more parts than most vehicles due to the 4WD. The 03 had some issues as well (they were all minor tho, but they did require service). If you add that to the fact that Hummer only makes 2 models, then yeah - they're going to be ranked low. If Ford makes a lemon, it doesn't stand out because they have enough models that aren't that make up for it. But in a smaller pool, it means more.
CR should be taken with a grain of salt.

Re: HUMMER ranks 34/36
Stacy....your comments mirror my previous thought process that one can spin the numbers anyway they want to come up with the desired result. I just wonder how thorough their analysis is though.
I would imagine that since the hummers are not made in the sheer quantity that some of the "best bet" list vehicles are that plays against the brand also.

Re: HUMMER ranks 34/36
Its true... You can't compare a Hummer to anything those Japanese companies have on the road.
CR did a report on midsize SUVs recently, and the Hummer (H3) came in second to last! Whatever, I'm a Hummer guy and proud of it!!
