Doug Demuro Lists Why The Hummer H2 Is Utterly Ridiculous: Video
21Sponsored Links
Remember Hummer? We remember Hummer. Even dealers remember Hummer because they miss that consumer that used to crowd showrooms. The bulging, capable SUVs that would roam more shopping plazas than ever see the lesser beaten path. They embodied America at a certain point in time, when consumers loved SUVs, gas was cheap and things were simpler.
Now, we expect a little more from our vehicles in 2017. They need to be stylish and functional; fuel efficient and full of performance; capable, yet livable. None of those fragments really describe the Hummer H2 very well. But, Doug Demuro has described the SUV with a list of why it’s the most embarrassing vehicle you can drive.
The video goes on through the exterior, interior and even under the hood to show why the H2 was really a poser in military grade clothing. Unlike the H1, which really was the real deal, the H2 aimed to take that package into something more livable and less expensive… with moderate success.
It looked the part, but substance was ultimately lacking with strange dash control layouts, cheap materials and quirks you’d never think of without spending time behind the wheel. We won’t list them all, but you can watch Demuro lay them out in the video above.
I sat through nearly 8 minutes of this man’s temper tantrum and I’m not going to waste any more of my day on it beyond writing this sentence.
So, WTF!!!! If you don’t like it don’t get it! Plus, comparing an older vehicle to a new vehicle…..it’s apples and oranges, son.
Reggie thanks for the warning. I will skip this idiot.
The real truth is this was nothing but a Tahoe that GM found a way to enhance it to attract many other people to it. They gave it more off road ability and more space and an image many loved and payed dearly for,
Today GM is working to bring a little Hummer back to their product lines and the ZR2 is the first to get the enhancements. We will see more to come.
The only thing GM did wrong with Hummer is they should have made it a part of GMC and not make it a Division.
Anyone seen the resale on a good Hummer lately? Many cars should do as well.
The most embarrassing car to be seen in is the one Doug is in.
The hummer is a great vehicle this idiots probably drives a sentry or smart car he doesn’t know the luxury of driving a big Truck with comfort and bid l would love to get one with no embarrassment. This idiot never had anticipated thing but probably a minivan but anywho.he doesnt know what he talking about.

It’s funny. Everything he hates about the Hummer H2, I love.
This Guy knows nothing about Mechanic’s if he did he wouldn’t be driving a Rig with 3” of play in the steering wheel. Nothing like reviewing an older ride and not mentioning the fixes in the newer models. Like many older suv’s and cars …all had to cut their teeth on design problems.
I have an 09 and it is nothing like he said. I off road it …Has he ever done that?.. What off road-er would take his HUMMER H2 off road with side steps? He never did mention the rock sliders built onto every HUMMER H2 above those steps.
Opinions are Like A H …every body has one.
It’s very obvious that he’s been hired to try to Sabatoge an incredible vehicle so that weak minded individuals will go sell the vehicle if they have one….the video is hilarious, I’m ashamed of his embarrassing tactics….lol, come again my friend…ahahahahahaa
I love mine screw him
it’s unfortunate that Doug drove an unmaintained H2. I’ve had one for about 3 years and will run the wheels off of it. His comment about taking ten seconds to go 60 mph is obsurb. Doug, you have to push the pedal on the right! I have never felt safer is any vehicals, except a Semi Truck. His comments about the small windows, that is why the mirrors are so big.
Would love to see what his daily driver is.
AM General designed the H2 to perform up to 85% of what an H1 can do. They decided to compromise on the ground clearance. Maybe Doug should have researched the H2 before he started Smash mouthing it.
I own a H2 and absolutely love it. I constantly get compliments on it and it’s an 06. Drive one in the snow and you’ll see that it’s bad ass and it’s bigger and safer than most SUV’s out there. This Doug guy is obviously a douche bag who can’t get laid and his opinion means absolutely nothing….
Totally agree ?
Bahahaha…
Totally agree with you.
Well Said John,
I Had a argument with a service writer over the phone at a Chevy dealer inquiring about a part for my H2. He kept telling me that it was a Tahoe chassis . I tried explaining that the front and back were GM but the middle section is custom by AM General and their for not a Stock Tahoe Chassis front to back.
The guy got all bent out of shape when I sent him a Pic from The Lynch Hummer site showing the chassis. Most people have no clue who even builds the H2. I just tell them go find a Descent low mileage H2 on Ebay and see what their still going for. If their that bad … Why are they still in demand.
Short story: My dealer where I bought my H2 from Called me 2 years after I had it and offered to by it back at Full MSRP. Reason..He had it sold in China for 150K. He said he’s been buying the ones he sold back from the owners to sell over sea’s. At that point he had bought 21 back.
Must be a Reason people want them. Certainly not to look and feel like a Fool.
Doug Demuro is trying too hard
Whatever Doug drives I’m sure it runs on tampons. What a moron.
the most embarrassing person you can be associated with is Doug Demuro trust me i have feeling a hummer owner embarrassed him in front of his boyfriend .
Hummer is not about speed. All I hear is bla, bla, bla … let some one take you for off-road extreme and learn what Hummer it’s all about.
Right on SubyGirl,
If You Ain’t Of Road-ed a HUMMER… Your Not qualified to write a Piece on It’s Viability.
Doug Demuro is right.The H2 is basically a fake civilian version of a real hummer.It was intended to give buyers a hummer-like driving and owner-ship experience without the capability and high price tag of a real hummer.The rather chintzy interior and exterior elements are evidence of this.That being said,it can still be an enjoyable and reasonably capable off-road vehicle with its hybridized am general/Tahoe frame.Doug is just giving you the rundown,he’s not saying don’t buy one or that it is useless.
