Introduction

Hummer H2 - 2008 First Drive: Imagine a party attended by the Who's Who among the luxury SUV elite. Range Rover's there in his tailored European ensemble; Escalade, or Slade, flexes his muscle in a black tux while rappin' for the crowd, and Navigator, well, he's been asked to keep off the sauce, sit on the curb, and prepare to give the inebriated guests rides home. And then there's H2 in a blue polyester getup from his high school prom, entering not through the front door like everyone else, but instead climbing the fire escape ladder to the roof, shimmying down the elevator shaft, and then crawling to the main room on his hands and knees ... after a deep exhale to air down.

H2 is the Rodney Dangerfield of the group - crass and adamant about choosing the path less traveled. At least it has been.

For 2008, Hummer swaps out the H2's cheap and cheesy interior, bowing to demands for a significant bump in refinement. Borrowing cues from upscale versions of GM's new full-size trucks, there's a more elegant gathering of controls and instruments, an abundance of soft-touch and padded surfaces, more comfortable seats, and even the addition of a few steel and alloy bits where plastic once resided. To top it off, there are an extra 68 horses and 50 lb.-ft. of torque to move the more sophisticated package. An extra $500 on the sticker price is one of the few side effects.

A healthy dose of refinement and more grunt under the hood are welcome changes, but head down the paved road and its all Rodney, with vague steering and handling. Off road is another story, but that's always been the case with the H2.

Better overall, with new dress on the inside, but still lacking the requisite finesse of a luxury SUV. That, in a nutshell, is the 2008 Hummer H2.

Origins

In an effort to broaden appeal beyond the H1, General Motors developed the smaller and more mainstream H2, which originally went on sale in 2002. Based on GM's full-size truck architecture, the H2 married the style of the user-unfriendly H1 with everyday drivability. A pickup version, named the H2 SUT, debuted in 2005.

New Service for Boston Auto Buyers


A personal service used successfully by thousands of people across the country to purchase and lease vehicles at special discounted prices is now available in the Boston area. Named Premier Auto Connection, the service includes: locating all types of vehicles, both new or used, obtaining a very competitive price, determining the best leasing and finance options, obtaining top dollar for trade-ins, providing Extended Warranty Service Contracts for new and pre-owned vehicles, and offering a complete line of automotive accessories and services.

Vatche Keledjian, a local entrepreneur and owner of Premier Auto Connection, has spent a great deal of time and money researching and test marketing the service throughout the area. Reactions from participants have been positive. After using the service, several commented they would not buy, lease or handle their automotive needs any other way. The consensus was Premier Auto Connection eliminated the hassles and anxiety associated with buying a car. Plus, Premier Auto Connection saved them both time and money.

What is the secret to Premier Auto Connection ’s success? Unlike Internet buying services, auto clubs, brokers and other buying services, Keledjian said, Premier Auto Connection represents its clients, not the manufacturer, dealer or marketing company. Premier Auto Connection does not “push” any specific makes or models, and can handle new or used vehicles, purchased or leased. According to Keledjian, Premier Auto Connection customers receive honest information from professionals who are knowledgeable about all the “hidden incentives” and options that can save the customer a lot of money, and time.

“Next to purchasing a home, buying or leasing a vehicle may be the largest purchase a person can make,” Keledjian said. “We help by providing a personal, hands-on approach. We handle the entire deal, looking for every way to save people time, energy and money.”

Premier Auto Connection is part of the Automotive Consulting Network, a company with over 200 Affiliates in the U.S. and Canada, and more than15 years of proven success.
