Those hummers are the biggest pieces of crap. They are gas-guzzling minivans with oversize tires. If you want to go off road get an FJ-40 Landcruiser, if you want a lot of room get a minivan, if you want to look like a yuppie (or a rapper) who doesn't know a crank case from a transfer case buy an H2!

Well those H2s definately suck some major *** , but who can deny that the original sucks???

They drive over land-mines and the people survive. That's safe to me.

I dont get it, the front end did what its supposed to do in a collision, if it didnt compact like that, the engine would be sitting in the drvers lap, or wrather crushing. Look at the crash cage or support around the passenger area, it still has the original shape so obviously its safe enough.

Wanna talk about unsafe, Ford f-150, I watched a crash test on 20/20 where they tested trucks, and the f150 failed big time, the guy running the tests said that any of the impact tests they ran on the f150 would have caused serious injury or more then likely fatality. It was due to the lack of impact protection in the cab, the cab basically folded and the engine rammed up in it. He actually said if he had a f150 or knew anyone that did he would sell it or recommend they sell it.

I believe the best truck was the Toyota Tundra. I think the Dodge ram did good to, it looks good from that picture up top.

But dont be fooled when you see a smashed up car and the front end is like 20% the original size, because thats what they are meant to do.

Unfortunatly hummers can spread STD's but I heard that u can't AIDS from getting a hummer.

something you might also want to consider is that it hit a freaking Dodge Dualie...that thing wasn't light either, and we don't know the speeds involved.

very true, if you think about the energy of 2 large vehicles hitting head on, off centre like that, its alot to say the least. So the damage being contained around the engine bay and all things considered, those trucks are quality.
