From a Forbes article:
"Also on our list of the most expensive non-luxury cars to repair are the Hummer H2, at $1,484; Hummer H3, at $1,244; Ford Mustang, at $1,201; Mini Cooper Convertible, at $1,093; Subaru Impreza, at $1,006; and GMC Yukon and Chrysler Pacifica, at $970 each."
How is the H3 more expensive to repair that say a Colorado or a Canyon? Oh I know, because it has a Hummer badge. If it was a Prius it'd obviously have low repair costs. Green washing at its best.

They will find something to bash. Next will be how the non aerodynamic Hummers create a wind vortex when traveling over 65 mph that sucks birds out of the sky and slams them to the pavement or some other nonsense

I understand that it is a more rugged chassis and all, but since most of the mechanical parts that would be involved in a repair are shared with the Colorado and Canyon I would have expected repair costs to be generally the same.
