Plus many have an off roading track out back.
Just need to have a first or last name that starts with an “H” or the huge windows in the shape of an "H would be hard to explain.

Maybe this will come back together like the SAAB deal, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Seems they are trying to clone themselves into Toyota.

^ I would have much rather seen GM keep Pontiac over Buick…The only Buicks i ever really liked was the LT1 Roadmaster,Regal GS,and 80’s Buick GN/T-type.
I have always liked the Grand AM GT,Grand Prix GT/GTP,Firebird formula,Sunfire sport/GT,Pontiac G8,ect…
Hummer,never been a fan…

At least they are doing up the new Buicks…the new LaCrosse is a straight Lexus beater. I loved the interior when my mom looked at it.

Im actually surprised that 6 out of the top 7 were GM companies in the survey.
You would think the foreign makers would have that sealed up too. Then again toyota really showed its true colors recently.

H1 = Beast mode Truck, these things are the shit, including portal axles
H2 = silverado running gear, tall gears and lockers
H3 = Colorado running gear, tall gears and lockers
Shitty about the H1, but IMHO im not gonna miss the H2 and H3, they’re marketed as heavy duty offroad vehicles, and yet they still sport IFS and have terrible ground clearance and approach angles. Plus they’re fat heavy pigs.

Yeah somewere i read that the H3 runs like a 0-60 in 11 seconds.I know its not ment to be a acceleration monster but c-mon… Also i heard its not the greatest off road.
Then again i read that the H3 was maketed towards woman.
When you say “tall gears”,do you mean shallow or steep gears? I’ll have to expect the ladder and say shallow gears.

Who cares? H1 aside, they’re the biggest posermobiles on the road. Middle class white women will just have to find some other way to tell the world that they’re not satisfied by their husband’s small dick.
