    Buy a G or a Range Rover anf you'll know whats real luxury is.

    I dunno, its just Hummer H1 is too big, H2 is just a Tahoe underneath, H3 is just small. Escalade is huge and longer but feels crappy when you'll realize American plastics.

    First, I wouldn't recommend that you buy overseas and then ship it here unless you are very familiar with Customs procedures or have a good broker. You'll be better off buying a Hummer from the official dealership or an Escalade from numerous grey-market importers here.

    Now between the two, I'm leaning towards the Escalade.

    Hummer would be a good choice....H1 if your spine can take it (Philippine roads are not smooth). It can fit a 40 footer containver van.

    If you want to save sa shipping cost, why not bring-in 2 SUV's instead (kasi the 40 footer can fit 2 SUV's).

    As far as bringing it in, the tax is usually between 100-200% of value. For ease and convinience, don't bring it on the port of Manila... go for port of CEBU. Mas madali kausap ang mga customs officials duon. Then from CEBU, you can send it as cargo or RORO type (3-4 days kung cargo, 1-2 days kung RORO). Overall, this might be a cheaper option.

    I've always wanted a Hummer, so I"d go with Hummer. Not an H2 though..H1! haha...H2 and H3 for me are baby hummers, the H1 is the mack daddy of them all, although...you will have a hard time parking for sure, you will probably take up 2 parking spots at the malls hehehe, and you might get keyed for that.
    Escalade, I'm not a big fan of Escalades "looks-wise" since it doesn't really shout out to me when I see one here. Non-car people will look at it and think it's a fortuner, or a expedition. So, I guess I'd go H2 or H3, since manuevering a large vehicle and finding a parking spot would be hard to do. And Hummers are really eye catchers, since there aren't many of them here.

    Since you can afford the truck and ship it I assume you can afford the gas. So I suggest the H3 Alpha with a the 5.3L V8, the size would be perfect for the Philippines as opposed to the H1 and H2. The Escalade just doesn't look attractive to me for the price since you can get a Yukon Denali with the same luxury items.

    with a $54K+ budget it's between the H2 SUV/SUT and the Caddilac Escalade
    H1 Alpha with a tag of $120K+ is too much with that of the Escalade.
    Still Hummer for me.

    Buy the H1.

    Have it paradropped instead, save on customs, tax, etc:
