Hummers: No longer the cool urban assault vehicles

MSN auto columnist Tom Wilson says that the Hummer H2 is far past its 15 minutes and, in fact, is so passe it verges on uncool to have one. He doesn't use any facts or stats to show if anyone shares this opinion, though.

Hummer H2 It had its fling with polite society, a soiree combined from the macho family resemblance to the military-derived Hummer H1 and the housebroken underpinnings of a Chevy Suburban. Hot when it first landed, thanks to the shift in the environmental winds, the H2 is now the redneck's parade float.

Ouch.

I've always hate the cars because a) uuuuuugly; b) at more than $50k a pop they are no more than just status symbols and C) have you ever tried to see around on on the freeway?

But don't tell the brits. Turns out Hummers just went on sale for the first time in the UK on Monday. Heehee. Silly Englanders! Right-side Hummers?
