Exactly, I'm 6'5" and I don't enjoy the H3. I put off buying my H2 until the H3's came out so I could compare, but one test drive convinced me.

There's a lot more big UPS vans than Hummers running around where I live and no one complains about their mileage. I've talked to several guys who drive 3/4 or 1 ton dually's who would love to get my mpg but of course those are "work trucks", even if the guy is a CPA, but Hummer remains the target for all the lower mpg vehicles. Hey, it's nice to be thought of first!!

I've never ridden in an H3, but have sat in them. Now I didnt have my wife's trailblazer there to compare, but I felt the trailblazer was a bit roomier inside.

You know I never thought of the UPS trucks running around and the thing is....they are running all day long. I drive my H2 to my office...1 mile....then drive home at the end of the day....1 mile....so hows that hurting the environment? I've got buddies saying they wished they got the mileage i get in the H2....and one of them drives a Durango!

I guess someone has to wear the bullseye on their backs...might as well be us HUMMER owners.

They want us to believe it is environmental concern, hell - they want to believe it's environmental concern. It's not, simple class envy, (hate the rich guy) plain and simple. Most couldn't tell the difference between an H2 and an H3.

Typical lib crap.
