the real problem is that the fashion isto have a big 4x4 to take the kids to school and do the shopping and so the average buyer wants it to "look" the part but it will never go off road except when they bump it up the curb so the makers are trying to appeal to the mass market to sell more units and they will do anything they can to shift more so that means dropping the off road spec and putting more toys in it . which is no good for the fan who wants to do what only 10 % of the cars sold will ever do which is go off road. all you need to do is look at the mini van market and how it exploded. . who realy needs to have 7 seats when all you have is two kids?It is all about getting bigger and better than the guy down the street.

I just happened to see the H2 in person tonight. It was parked in front of the local Starbucks here in Coronado where I live. I had a lot of time to study it and it is just one big box. I don't know how they managed it, but it is even more square than it's Daddy the H1.

I mean there is no design to it whatsoever (I think they used an old shoe box to model it after), it was the same orange/yellow color in the pictures at their website and the only thing that comes to mind was the School Bus that picked me up and shipped me off to school every morning when I was in the 6th grade.

The interior was just as square and boxy as the outside, I do not know why it is so damn tall this thing looks so top heavy I would be scared of taking a corner over 1MPH let alone drive it on the trail . What's bad is that it's taller than the H1 but doesn't have the H1's width to compensate for it.

Oh well, regardlessly, the yuppy crowd and soccer moms everywhere are sure to buy
