I love my Wrangler ('01), and wish it could be had in a Diesel. The latest generatrion of Jeep gives me mixed feelings- 4-door option good, bloated and hard lines bad.
I had two thoughts when I saw this Hummer. First, they may have a hard time taking devoted Jeep lovers, in a niche that is already pretty small and getting crowded. A hard-core, high powered small SUV would sell, but I would think in small numbers.
Second, it MIGHT finally force Chrysler/Jeep to improve the Jeep, just to stay competitive. Jeep may improve their ride some and add the diesel.
Other commenters have said no one needs an SUV in America, because we don't have deserts or bad roads like Africa. I am assuming they live in L.A. and have never been anywhere East of Anaheim or North of Santa Clarita. For those of us in the real world, where roads aren't always paved and weather isn't always sunny, there is some use.
What Hummer/Jeep should do is take the top-down outdoorsy vibe that all the sorostitutes and poseurs like, and offer it in a more efficient model. Not like the Jeep Crapass, but think "Jeep-lite". A Wrangler-esque car with focus on lite, comfortable, and efficient, and not off-road capable. Now that could sell... (just not to me)
