They are benchmarks in styling, performanc, durability, and value . . .

A Hummer is a military vehicle gone commercial . . . doesn't say much . . .
The Hummer is also a mechanical Marvel, Its possibly the best Wheeled Off road vechile ever made, and its possibly on of the best examples of functional design in the automotive world, even more so than a ferrari or Mclaren, which as well as being designed for performance, are also designed for looks. The hummer is designed with only one goal, off road performance, it is in this sense a far more pure design.

And how can you say a Porsche/Ferrari/McLaren are benchmarks in styling, performanc, durability, and value . . .
The fisrt two yes, but Durability and Value?
