Just saw a really fantastic H3 commercial.

Imagine you're in a Hummer, driving through the forest. You look up and what do you see? A tree! And it has leaves! Wow. You drive a little farther and you look up...more leaves! Green, beautiful leaves! It's a freaking tree hugger's nirvana because they're right there. And green. And right up there! And then you realize that the sunroof that lets you see the beautiful green leaves is "complementary" if you buy the Hummer. Wow! I MUST HAVE IT!!!!

And then the punch line:

"Estimated 20mpg highway."

Oops.

Hi Tim:

___I have not seen that commercial but have seen the online print adds for the free sunroof.

"Estimated 20mpg highway and your mileage will not vary, it WILL be lower" :D

___Good Luck

LOL - cognitive dissonance in action. :rolleyes:

Is that 20MPG hwy under the 2008 rating? That almost seems in line with other large SUVs. (Not that this is "good", but I would've expected 12-14?)

I bet it won't be 6 months before I see one of those at the lake with a "Keep Tahoe Blue!" bumper sticker pasted on it.

*sigh*

Was this the commercial after the Art Spinella interview last night?
