Re: Where is all this hate coming from??
To answer your question as to where all the hate for the Hummer is coming from, look to the left.

Probably one of the more ignorant answers to give to any question, but it's entertaining,uneducated & unsupported at the same time  I suggest you turn your radio/tv off and start thinking for yourself.
I think people hate because they have issues in their own lives, regardless of it's a certain car, neighborhood, designer brand, color etc... The H2 is a big unit and was singled out as one of many vehicles as using alot of gas, but since the H2 was the largest and most popular at the time it got the most flack, but that's my opinion. I have friends with a Toyota Sequios, Denali Xls, Yukons and older Broncos. All of these vehicles get the same or in some cases even worst MPGs.

Re: Where is all this hate coming from??
always going to be haters, for any vehicle you drive/have someone out there is going to hate it.
It's all hype though, everyone in the US follow trends like lemmings, if the mass hate it, individual followers will hate...but we here are not followers! we stand our ground and show the world that we get what we want! despite the hate!
seems like people overseas LOVE the hummers though! i have friends in korea who are like OMG!

Agree with the overseas demand for Hummers. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal several years ago about all Hummers, the H1, H2 and H3 being shipped overseas in large numbers. We were In Costa Rica in January and with the mud and gravel roads we saw several Hummers and Jeeps.

Re: Where is all this hate coming from??
Oh come on stock how can you live on the west coast and be so ignorant to the crap from the left yet still drive the most anti left vehicle availible.
And yes my actions did make the vehicle look bad, but two dumb teens aren't going to change their mind based off of my driving.

Re: Where is all this hate coming from??
There is no hate, do not assume such. I have the same 2003 H2 since Oct 2002, one of the very first Hummers, 140,000 miles, and I live in the ultra Liberal San Francisco area, I drive into the left wing City daily. I have received 100s of comments and gestures from friends and total strangers through the years, 100% positive.
I have made some mistakes to assume strangers are or about to same something nasty about my Hummer, but turned out to be all praises, if only I could get $10 for every praise I got. Same thing happened 3 days ago when I was at a truck stop gas station on my way back from Los Angeles(20th SF-LA-SF 7 hours journeys), a lady said something to me, she repeated it, "I love your Hummer!"
I was at a convention in L.A. last week, when it was announced "A Black Hummer is blocking the truck, please move." Suddenly I saw 50 people all pointing and waiving at me, I did not know so many people know what I drive.
In the first year or 2, nonstop total strangers waived at the Hummer everywhere, smiling and shouting. No other automobiles ever collected more praises than the Hummer.

Re: Where is all this hate coming from??
I get lots of praise also with the H2. Friday I stopped for gas and they were selling Megamillions tickets at the station and as I was getting ready to leave a man came out and said, "If I win I'm buying two Hummers like yours." Yesterday, I was at my grandson's ice hockey game and when we were leaving two players and neighbors of my grandson came over and said, "Mr J can you take us home in your Hummer." Now that they aren't made any more you don't see as many of them on the street.

Re: Where is all this hate coming from??
Had a moment today that was beyond bizarre. Parked at the grocery store, got out and found an elderly Chinese woman petting my truck. She jumped a little and said "Oh, I'm so sorry, I just had to touch it, it's so beautiful, so beautiful!"
No haters around here!

LOL! I had a similar moment years ago when roadtripping down Route 66. I had stopped to check out some car museum as a pitstop, when I came out the truck was surrounded by French roadtrippers posing and taking pictures.
