Here is my Unlimited and H3 side by side
Ok If this works...
Got these images from Edmunds. I have been dealing with these H3 comparissons for a couple weeks now. I'm now going to officialy say....What's a Hummer" that's the best yet.

Nice comparison shots Rhodesian. I've just never seen the "it looks like a hummer" thing. I don't think they look alike at all. I think the funny part is that I've read several posts where they think the JK looks like a Liberty. So a Liberty and a Hummer look alike? LOL

Hummers with those slit windows look like you're expecting snipers. It's a paranoid car unless you're actually in a war zone. I have the same problem with Toyota FJ Cruiser

I remember a review I read in some magazine when the H2 first came out. About the H2, the reviewer said, "The only offroading this vehicle will ever see is when some guys housewife backs over the landscaping."
Sexist, I know. But I thought it summed up the whole "soccer mom in an SUV" cliche pretty well.
While I was going to college in Texas, a guy brought his brand new H2 into the 10 minute lube shop where I was working. When asked his opinion for getting the H2 instead of the H1, the only reason he gave was, "The H2 accelerates faster than the H1."
Technically, he was right:
H1 Acceleration= 0-60 in 13.5 seconds. (2005 H1 Alpha [wagon] Automobile Magazine review)
H2 Acceleration=0-60 in 10 seconds. (2003 Consumer Guide review)
Who buys a 4x4 for its skills in acceleration, anyway?

Shat uuppp!
When the General manager at the dealership said for the 3rd time "you know it looks just like a baby Hummer" I couldn't take it any longer and told him If you say that again I'm going to walk out of here. " Car salesmen - they're all whores.:rolleyes:

More meat for the meateaters.
If you are going to be stupid enough to insult the vehicles you are trying to sell, then you deserve to have your sales go to other vendors that know/care more, like Don A Vee. And if you don't think that comparing a Hummer to a Jeep is an insult, then you don't know your customers very well.

Reply sticker
I was searching Commander Hulk wheels on e-bay and some stickers came up that you can put on your jeep. I have the image but I have no idea how those are linked. It's just text anyway but it reads...
If I wanted a
Hummer
I'd ask you!

I like your comparison! It really brings out how fake and plastic the Hummer is.

Just got that rediculous remark yesterday at work, I was setting at my desk, a guy I know was standing behind me looking down at my Wrangler and said, who owns the Green Hummer? ....Well now, I was the only one there and I know it was directed to me, and he's seen it numerous times, definitely screwing with me. I didn't even turn around and answer him, he said it about 4 times, I finally swung around in my chair and said , ((What's a Hummer John)), the look he gave me was priceless. He just looked back down at my Wrangler and walked away, never seen him for the remainder of the day.
