That depends. A lot of the fun of off-roading is seeing what the truck can do. You can get anything stuck if you try hard enough or don't know what you are doing. By the same token, if you can pick where you drive, you can recognize and avoid areas you won't get through. But if you have the mindset that your truck can get through anything, you will get stuck eventually.

You can drive an H1 on the street, as well as off-road or very rough surfaces. You can park it in any parking lot, and on any stret. The only time you might not be able to park it on the street is where parking is parallel, and no space is long enough. That's a pretty restricted situation. It can carry at least 3 passengers and a ton of cargo.
You can drive the S2000 on the street, but not off-road. You can park it in any spot big enough. You can carry only one passenger, and a limited amount of cargo. The areas you can drive an S2000 are limited to paved roads or relatively smooth surfaces.
Seems like the H1 is way more versatile than the S2000.

You see where I am going with this?
They are both kind of limited when comparing them by the metric that only one is good at.

why are people comparing the S2000 and the H1? AT ALL?
having a S2000 and a H1 turbo-diesel wagon with a big roofrack and the extra bench seat sounds like a nice garage to me... and maybe get a G37 sedan for my mom, so that I can have a lux sedan, if I want one.
the H1 is just so appealing right now:
a used one is attainable for about 25k
it can tow - A LOT
it can offroad like a beast
it looks like a monster
it does not look like a soccer-mom X5/Range Rover/LX470
it is aluminum = no rust
it is American - it can use parts that are more common than parts of a Unimog or Pinzgauer
it looks like an offspring of a brick and a tank

just test drove one today
i'm gonna pull the trigger, i think
it is a beast, in every sense of the word
it looks like an angry cinder-block
the rear bumper is a piece of the railroad system
i almost hurt myself when i was getting in - the sills are very original, and tall in a vertical manner
it feels like you are looking out of a tank - NOTHING comes close
it is all business - no extras anywhere
it is slow, but mean
fitting into just one lane takes getting used to
merging is fun: people stop and let you through
it is cramped inside, but i fit in it just fine - an Accord has WAAYYY more space in the seats; u HAVE TO stick your elbow out of the window to relax
lots of cargo area
highway driving is ridiculous - you gotta brake ahead, or you will kill the occupants of no less than four Priuses
i made it's tires squeal like a pig in the slow speed turns
it makes every SUV that I have driven seem like a luxury sedan
and when you stop, it rocks back and forth on it's springs - it is that heavy
if you've never driven one - GO DO IT!
it is unlike anything else

Heh - for those that didn't read the dates they stopped making this truck 4 years ago.
Regarding the H1 I will stick to my comments made above 3+ years ago.
Regarding the H2 (and H3 for that matter)...glad to see them dead. Pretty useless, inefficient and ugly IMHO.
Someone above mentioned the Hummer line being built by a Chinese company. GM was trying to sell the line to a company there , but the Chinese government put the axe to that this past February.
