The terminator was one of the first to popularize the original Hummer
during Desert Storm.
If you have ever driven one, (I have) they are big honking vehicles
and not all that comfortable. I am sure they spruced it up for the
civilian market, but I would not be interested. It was made for off
road use (I have had it in the woods and it is great there, can do
almost a vertical climb.) as I said has a wide track and sits very
high. But it is not economical.
Read the wikipedia article and then look at the GM site and the AM
General site for more info.
I've been reading quality car magazines (Car and Driver, Road and Track)
for 35 years and they've had several test drives of the various Hummers.
Definitely not very desirable or practical vehicles.
The Hummer was always a rich boys toy, and may I add owning one was a
statement of masculinity (Sorry Terminator.)
On the contrary, they are probably a good indicator of impotence, not to
mention ignorance.
