Green Car Congress: GM Cancels the HUMMER H1
Well, they had to cancel it. From the windshield they probably couldn't see and would run over all the clown cars you all will be driving.

Do you drive an urban-assault-vehicle (aka - SUV)??? Maybe a Hummer???

Those 'clown cars' you disparage will be getting high mileage and helping us get off imported oil - not that you care.

Why yes, yes I do. We have 2 in fact. I've also got two additional sports cars that get less than 10mph and a sportbike too. Ain't America great?

Wake me up when they come up with a realistic alternative to fossil fuels. Until then, no, I don't care.

Nonsense!! I put my families safety and comfort above all else. If you choose to put you're family in some eco mobile where they are neck level with the frame rails of my rig. That is not my carelessness, it is you're negligence!

I could not agree more. I was in the parking lot with my wife and daughter and saw a Yaris parked next to a Tundra pick up. The front end of that truck was higher than the roof of the Yaris. I could not help but think if they hit the Tundra would need some body work the Yaris you would need some body bags.

Your SUVs are the dinosaurs of the 21st century - just wait until you want to trade one in...

My family is in very safe Honda mid-size and Toyata mid-size cars and Toyota mini-vans.

Statistically we are much safer than the morons who drive SUVs - which have a notoriously high roll-over fatality rate.

Oh well -that's fine with me. The more SUV occupants who perish in crashes - the better off the country's gene pool is!!!
