Hummer H2 vs Chrysler 300c

Hi guys.
I was about to order a 300c CRD -08 today. But changed my mind.
I love the H2 exterior.

Can you give me some good reasons why i shud not buy a hummer?
Why is a 300c better?

I live in sweden and here is the H2 not a common car on the streets.

Not to mention the parking difficulties in Europe for the H2, The performance of the 300 will far surpass the Hummer. The CRD is a great car, gets good mileage, and looks mean!! But if you are looking for off road performance, then stick with the hummer of course.

Also, parts and service are better for Chrysler in Europe. (I just moved from germany where I lived for 6 years)

Different Class of cars

It is difficult to say which is better, they are not designed for the same purpose.

Personally I would never own a hummer b/c they are/were trendy
and seem impractical.

If you want an SUV go with a Jeep SRT (probly not too many of them in/around stockholm either)

The Hummer is a toy.

The 300C is a CAR!

Om du koper en Hummer sa kommer du att angra dig.
Forresten, skippa dieseln och skaffa en Hemi. You only live once.
Stockholm 300C is online now

Now this is interesting, you are trying to compare an SUV and a 4 door sedan (lovely vehicle by the way!)

You seem not to care about the qualities that each vehicle has, but are just interested in the visual package.

If that is the case then go with what your spiddy sense tells ya, because you can't possibly compare these two vehicles .

And to come on to a Chrysler 300 forum and ask this question, wht do you honestly think the answers will be?

Go for the CRD!!!!!

cheers

I believe that the H2 has one of the worst crash ratings of any vehicle ever tested. Just a 5 mph bump will do $thousands of dollars in damage to the H2. The chrome that they use corrodes quickly and looks absolutely horrible. It is probably the most impractical SUV that you can buy. But at least they look pretty cool.

Crd

I've heard great things about this engine
It originated in the E-class and R-class
A great acceleration/economy package

Jeep and Chrysler Minivan Diesel Engines
