It's the most politically correct car versus the most politically "incorrect" one in a two-car shoot out:

Man I wish I could get that ten minutes of my life back....what a waste of web space. The author did zero, zilch, nada research on the Hummer or the Prius before writing that POS article. Let's break it down:

1) Throwing out off-roading - a larger percentage of H2 owners have used the off-road capability of the vehicle than any other vehicle intended for off-road use. The dumbass didn't even bother to find out for sure if anybody went off-road, he just assumed folks didn't.

2) The Prius at the academy awards - they were loaners, the stars didn't shell out there own money to drive those little death boxes, they were asked to make a political statement by doing so.

3) Gas Mileage - The Hummer makes no bones about getting 11 mpg, the Prius supporters are getting significantly less than advertised.

4) Safety - quick test, in a head on collision at 70mph between an H2 and a Prius, who is more likely to be dead? The Hummer could roll over 3 times, jump a retaining wall and land in a ditch and it would fair better than the Prius.

5) Relability - this number was largely skewed by first production year glitches and gas mileage complaints.

6) Arianna Huffington - stupid, stupid woman. Flys everywhere in a private jet then preaches that everybody ELSE should ride bicycles instead of driving cars. Including her in any article kills all credibility.

In summary, if you have read my reply before the article, don't bother with the article. It is not original content, it is not factual, it is not well researched and is a worthless piece of Sh*t :D

:skep The article is tongue-in-cheek. It's actually their third Hummer H2 article. You probably won't like their second one either. It's also tongue-in-cheek, but at least the Hummer comes out on top: Goldie & the 3 SUVs (http://www.lacar.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=263). The first one is pretty straight-forward: GM Has Civilized The Beast (http://www.lacar.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=12)
