New York Preview: 2008 HUMMER H2 gets more power, interior refinement

Mar 27th 2007 1:30PM on Autoblog

"The interior looks much better but why is it that every person I know that has one of these (H2)is an asshole? I mean seriously, I know about 6 people who have these are jerks and think they are special! Or is it just me?"

Do you really need to ask?

And as for the Hummers getting more power... Yes! Let's increase our dependance on foreign oil. Thousands of fellow Americans dead and dying, but that's OK because we, state-side, can still own and drive the biggest hogs on the road if we want to... and because it's the American way! Patriotism! Hoorah! Hoorah!

Infiniti releases new pics and complete specs on G37

Hey Nissan, next time you release pictures of an important new car make sure the car in the photoshoot isn't beat up.

Look at the front chin. It's all craped up. One wheel spoke even look damaged. At least pay someone to retouch the photos.

Why are all these Hondas being recalled?

"sealer was that leaked inside and coated parts"

Ummm.... what?

Double Jeopardy: Iraqis destroyed Uday's Ferrari, too

" It may be old news, but the destruction of a Ferrari or Lamborghini is always a sad occurence."

Oh please. It's just a car and it's not even mine or yours for that matter. Pointless to get all EMO over it.

This is seriously old news, just like the Jaguar V-12 wine rack. Not old news like it's been reported elsewhere, but both were reported right here on Autoblog.

OMG... the best car related ad EVER.

Isn't this old news? Like really really old?

This was originally reported long before Sadam's capture and soon after the fall of Bagdad.

"So BMW totally sacrificed torque to get a modicum of power from a crossplane crank V8. So sad. What has happened to BMW M?"

Peak torque isn't important. It's the shape of the torque curve that matters (useable power). With the Honda S2000, for example, you'd have to rev the snot out of the motor to use it's torque... however impressive it may be for a 4 banger.

Over generalization for the novice: torque gets you going when the light turns green. Horsepower gets you to the finish line.

BMW M has never been about peak torque, it's about all around performance. Go easy on the bong.

"you can rev the motor to an RX-8-like 8,300 rpm"

What they don't say is it might develope bearing issues and grenade on you if you rev it high. And if it does happen to you they aren't aware of any inherent problems with the engine.

Right? Fellow S54 owners?

For this BMW goes on the wall of shame.

Only one ROUSH BLACKJACK Mustang Convertible to be built and auctioned for charity

Eh. Who cares.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
