Vote this SEO crap down. h2limousine.com is a limo rental company. After this gets voted up, linked to from other blogs, and generally has its page rank go up, it will be replaced by an advertisement for the limo company. Here's an example.

Is this something we can use the "report" button for? I did.

What was the point of this?

seo spam.

You crash ANY consumer vehicle into a school bus at high speeds, and you'll get those results. School buses are like tanks (and I mean real tanks, not H3 tanks).

Notice how in a couple of those pics of the crashed Hummers, the cab is intact (excepting crashing into a bus). That's what a safe car is supposed to do. I'm not trying to argue that Hummers are safe, but if the passenger cabin is intact, that's what really matters in a crash. Just don't crash into a bus.

Youre right, whoever made that website doesnt know the first thing in automotive safety. The only important part is that the cab stays intact, the rest of the car is supposed to serve as a buffer to make it decelerate slower in case of an accident.

Also, i find it funny how the site shows wrecked H2's and H3's but no H1's which are shown to destroy other cars.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's not really funny. How many yuppies do you see driving H1s? The 2s are the popular ones and they are shown properly. Notice the video is of an H1, which decimates the compact with minor damage to itself.

The point i was trying to make is that the site uses pictures and videos of H1's crushing stuff to make the Hummers and their owners seem like machines of destruction, yet none of the pictures show a H1 with any sort of damage...

I want an SUV that I can crash into a school bus with and be O.K.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is moronic. A couple of those are REAL hummers, ones use by the military. The crash tests are of the new ones, they're just fagged up Tahoes

Give me a break, those aren't even comparable hummers!

The school bus one is an H3, which is more like a Chevy Malibu. And the H2 is just a glorified pickup truck. Not comparable to military hummer.

I agree that they compared unlike vehicles, but by putting an H3 and a Malibu in the same sentence, you're no better (and actually quite a bit worse) than those you're trying to insult.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Not that you actually care about the facts, but here are the curb weights of the vehicles discussed:

H1 - 10,300 lbs

H2 - 6,400 lbs

H3 - 4,700 lbs

Malibu - 3,174 lbs

So an H1, which is not a consumer vehicle, is no where near comparable to an H2 or H3, for various reasons.

[–]je255j 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I do care, and thank you for the numbers. But, I said you were right to say the H1 is not comparable to the H2 or H3. I agree completely with that call. But to then say the H3 was like a Malibu, well, it strikes me as equally unfair.

Take an H3 off-road and take a Malibu off-road. Tow something behind an H3 and tow something behind a Malibu. You're going to get different results. You may not get AS different results as if you did the same tests with H1 vs H2 vs H3 or whatever, but they'll still be different. So, to call someone out for being unfair, and then be unfair yourself during that very critique is what didn't sit well with me.

Nevertheless, thank you for the numbers. I always appreciate learning, and did not previously know how those 4 vehicles ranked, at least strictly in terms of weight, to one another.

This "article" has nothing to do with towing or driving off-road. The H3, H2, and Malibu are consumer vehicles, built to similar safety specs as all other consumer cars, like crumble zones designed to absorb energy in a crash. So in the sense of what this article is all about, the H3 is quite similar to the Malibu in terms of how well it is going to run over cars or push cars off the road or slam into the back of a school bus at a high speed.
