What We Think
While this might seem quite attractive to a lot of people, one must think deep before making such a decision. The fact remains that the Hummer SUVs were luxury products. It has been almost 14 years since the models were discontinued. Hence, to get servicing and spare parts would definitely be a challenge. On the other hand, the Fortuner is a symbol of reliability. It is practically an indestructible SUV. One could think of owning and using it for many years to come. We are afraid the same could not be said about the Hummer. Still, it is your call if you do have some cash lying around and have a dream of getting your hands on a Hummer.
