If they made a Hummer with the Yaris's MPG would you buy it?
Suppose technology got so good overnight that GM came out with a 29/36 mpg rated Hummer, that was also the same price as the Yaris.
Would you buy it?

No, they are still ridiculous. I'll take a Jeep anytime, even the newer, minivan-engined JKs (but I would prefer a TJ/LJ!)...

If GM had built the H4 I would have taken one over the Yaris any day...I have no interest in Chinese Hummer.

My Yaris Liftback is a perfect fit for my lifestyle. Anything larger than a Yaris would be unnecessary for me, so that's a no for a Hummer--even if it did get good MPG.

No, I wanted a small hatchback so I wouldn't trade even.
The other thing is the whole "Hummer Image" thing-just because of it's history it screams "look at me-I'm swimming in excess!" I'll pass. R2

shoot yeah and I'd flog the hell out of it. I bet it would be just the thing for dragging logs out of the woods. I wonder if one of those beasts could pull a plow?

My dream car is the original H1. So if it looked like an H1 and cost the same amount as a Yaris, and got the same MPG, hell yeah I'd buy one.
But that's never going to happen so bleh.

No.
I have NO need for a Hummer, plus where would I park the damn thing? On the other hand, I'd definitely consider a traditional pick-up truck . A pick-up can be real useful. But if I got it now, I'd run into the same parking problem. I think I'd sooner get a SMART than a Hummer, any day. The Hummer is just ridiculous. |

It would still take way too many resources to make, handle extremely poorly, be too large to park anywhere (especially in my garage), and I have absolutely no need to project a "crush my neighbor" mentality.
No, thanks.
