Anybody want to wager on how long until we see the Tucker SUV complete with a 3rd, center mounted headlight that turns with the steering wheel?

H2 with $25,000 of ugly aftermarket crap on it, did you see what they did to the 2002 f-body, and they wanted like $70K for it LOL why would anyone buy that when you could get a WS6 for like $30K

LOL!

Or an H2 Convertible!!!

Did anybody notice the curb weight on that thing...
5900 lbs!!!

Do we really want to be hit by that in our 2700lb "new, lighter" Camaros and Mustangs?!?! Nevermind the Cg's and "roll-on-me" factor, the Law of Conservation of Momentum dictates that the 3000lb car will see TWICE the magnitude of change in velocity vector as the 6000lb one. In street terms, that means "you gonna go flyin' if that thing whacks you".

Um, me no likey.

Hummer is the coolest name in the industry right about now. The H2 is best marketing concept ever - a vehicle that both rappers and wealthy housewives can enjoy!

Then some idiot take a H2, adds $25,000 to the sticker price, and calls it a STUDEBAKER - the lamest automotive name on earth.
