i think there was a topic about this in the past when the H2's were just coming out. i think they were using the hummer to help promote it or something along those lines.

every year in... I think michigan car companies send their best cars to this competition held there... it's held by the police (im guessing the state police) and all the cars that the companies send are road and track tested by the police. other cops from all over the country go and see the tests so they can decide what cars they want to buy next.

sport compact did an article on it a couple months ago... prob 6 months ago.

the h2 was very well liked for its high torque and pushing power, despite the fact that it's so slow.

so it's not that it was used just as a promotion... although thats what GM had planned all along.

it sucks that we're shelling 50 grand a pop so that cops can cruise in those wanna be h1's...

just another reason why i used to wanna be a cop for the longest time...

course that was before i got raped by the DMV, state police, chesapeake police, and vb police

The H2 is loaned from Hall Hummer (ASSHOLES) LIke said above the truck will only be used for promotional purposes, ie. parades. BTW the H2 is far from slow. Not saying that it is fast. But its definately not slow.
