Hummer H1 or Mercedes G500?
 
Seattle, WA

I am in a dilemma between the Mercedes G500 and the Hummer H1. The G500 has its benefits as it was more street practical in Seattle and the brand itself - Mercedes, which symbolizes class & status. On top of that, it is exclusive and a rare SUV that carries the Mercedes brand.

The G500 seems to have a lot of mechanical problems. So I have heard and saw. I've test drove a G500 and there were so many blinking lights and non-operating mechanics in the interior. I despise wasted trips to the dealerships for service & the chunk of money that goes with it- $1,500 for a tune up. Is this a factor?

The H1, however, couldn't be surpassed as far as street presence and appearance. It is just too pretty and monstrous (at the same time). It is easily recognized due to its years at war. I'm looking specifically at the White Soft Top with Tan Interior.

Anyways, I am in Residential Sales and Image Power is important for my current plans for wealth building. Which would you recommend for power, status, and influence? The G500 or the H1?

I currently drive a Pearl White '04 Cadillac Escalade. It's a nice Luxury SUV, but it's annoying when I see many other people driving the same car on the road (especially soccer moms) http://www.hummernetworkforums.com/i.../icon_evil.gif

I hope to receive your advice and share of knowledge soon. Really need to make a decision.
