H2 Vs. Range Rover

[3Hummer]

havent driven the Range's but my friends mom has one and i just find it as very uncofortable and a very uncofortable ride, and i also think teh Range Rover Sport looks funny, looks like someone tried to smush down the back with a large brick

We need to do an H2 vs RR video, but the only problem is finding any type of footage or off-raod willing RR owners. Pleople say they never see Hummers on the trail, I have NEVER seen a newer RR, LR3, or RRS on the trails. I've seen FJ's, JK's, H3's, H2's, etc. but not a single current LR.

The RRS is a nice car. My father has one and I've rode in it plenty of times. Nice ride and very comfy. But with an interior like that I would never take it off roading.

Very nice trucks, no question. But I know they are far less capable in stock form than an H2. You can't even get sliders from the factory and a full size spare is optional. I love the LR3, RR, RRS but seriously you are on crack if you think it can do the same things as an H2 w/ 35's.

Trust me, after owning my H2 for a couple months now, I know that no other trucks/SUVs can match what an H1 and H2 can do if you compare factory vs. factory. I even went as far as to test drive a G500. The whole 3 locking diffs had me dazed and drooling. My three choices for ORVs were the G500, D110, and the H2. I actually test drove the G500 before the H2. I was pretty dead set on the G500 until I did more research and decided to get a few minutes of seat time behind the H2 via test drive. I was moments away from getting the G500. Glad I didn't do it.

So can someone put together another Hummer tribute video with the H1 and H2 vs. all of the Euro SUVs (Porsche, VW, MB, Land Rover, BMW) Since they all "claim" they have such off road capable vehicles. I never really heard anything about the Audi Q7. Maybe they know that they can't compete off road.

I know RR and Hummer comes from similar historical background which both original version of vehicles served as a military purpose. I wanted to see if anyone can actually compare the mechanicals of RR Vs. H2 not just the bling factor or comfy level.
I agree with the newer RR or RRS that are NOT even close to being off road vehicle but mall cruiser. Too much unnecessary gadgets and computers. That is why I wanted to see the logical comparison between classic rovers vs. H2 or even H1. Range Rovers are their own chasis and built soley for their own. In the other hand, H2's are based on Tahoe or yukon paltform with same motor as Denali or Escalade(6.0L or 6.2L).
Don't get me wrong. I own H2 and love my truck, but that British jerk who compares and bashes H2 or other American truck, I just wanted to see if there is a logical sense or rhyme or reason for the bash.

I have both Supercharged H2 and RRS SC. Both very different vehicles. RRS luxury, H2 truely manly machine. I like both very much. RRS much more convinient in heavy traffic and long hauls, H2 just for having fun day after day!

RRS gets you one look, H2 is someting you are remembered of for long time. Atleast here in Finland.

The word "platform" Is missused by a lot be people not in the auto industry thinking it means "frame", when in truth a "component set" would be a better discription. For example a 1ton duelly Silverado is also on the same GMT800 "platform" that bolth the H2 and Tahoe are on, and in reality the Silverado has more parts in common with the Tahoe than the H2 does. The actual "frame" on a H2 is unique to itself and shared with no other vehicle.
