What a stupid question...
It's a shame they are not putting an M-class engine in this line. I had a loaner M Roadster for a day, that thing was fun!!!!

I totally agree. That's one thing that's holding us back on the Z4... other sprots cars we've looked at have 230, 250 and 280 horse power!
The sad part is that, in it's time, it was considered to be the best handling car that didn't cost $200,000. All the magazines raved about it, but the dealers had to discount them to get them out the door. Nowadays they have become highly collectable because relatively few were made.

And there's no good reason anyone in America needs a Hummer (the SAV, not the fun kind!)- if they wanted you driving there, they would've made a road!
Ah, don't hate the well-built vehicles because they're tougher than your 4-wheeled beer can. The wreck was YOUR fault, the damage was done to YOUR car - but the other guys is a jerk for driving a solid vehicle??? If you hit a telephone pole, would you b*tch that it wasn't made out of styrofoam?
I don't hate them because of the wreck (I know it was mostly my fault- someone pulled out in front of them and stopped almost immediately- I shouldn't have been following so closely). They're freakin ugly. And the gas mileage is heinous at best- you should get better mileage out of your vehicle than you would a backhoe.

The originals (and to a lesser extent the H1) were so ugly they were cool. Plus, they were incredible off-road vehicles. The H2 is just plain fugly, and is incompetent on any surface. They were designed for wannabe off-roaders and yuppies with more money than brains. As for gas milage (motorcycles being the exception to this), the less miles per gallon, the more fun the vehicle is.
After reading all this stuff about Hummers all I can think of is the controversy when Lebron James got one when he was still in high school and claimed it was a gift from his mother. Some guy starting selling T-shirts on the internet that said LEBRON'S MOM GAVE ME A HUMMER

You've obviously never driven the new MINI.

The funny part is that if the Mini had a wimpy little engine in it instead of a more powerful one I would buy one. My first car had a 350 small block, I'm over big engines.
