Love 'em or hate 'em, these cars made a splash

Hummer H2

As we noted in this article’s introduction, “memorable” can have positive or negative connotations. And then there are examples like the Hummer H2, which has both. Borrowing rugged looks from its big brother, the Hummer H1, this more mainstream model blended tremendous off-road capability with everyday drivability, thanks in part to a chassis shared with GM’s full-size trucks. Early models were notably deficient in terms of quality materials, but many shoppers found compensation in the truck’s menacing presence and attitude. Suddenly, professional athletes, celebrities of all shapes and sizes, and petite soccer moms were transformed into licensed badasses. To say it another way – Hummers were hot. Unless, of course, you were an environmentalist. For every Hummer fan, there was a Hummer hater who pointed to the vehicle’s pathetic fuel economy and largely unused utility. Love it or not, there’s no denying the H2’s impact on the automotive market and society as a whole.
