Hummers do have their purpose, even in civilian life. In particular, they make excellent small rescue vehicles, as they can go many places where the larger vehicles cannot, but also many places which most other vehicles of their size cannot.. Those who buy them explicitly for that purpose (this would probably have to be restricted to emergency services such as police/fire departments and hospitals) should get a break for it, for precisely that reason. It's called getting the best tool for the job.

But as personal vehicles? That's just stupid. Hummers are ugly anyway. Especially that godawful pencil-yellow one.
