Are any of you starting to see any H3s running around where you are? So far I have only seen two other than at the dealership. Expected to start seeing more by now.

My dealer said that he sold a 15, but he thinks that they are being shipped and sold overseas.

I am pretty sure that my dealer has delivered that many but I have no idea where they are going.

Saw a black one coming back from a trip to Nashville last week. Other than that, none.

Just mine. I haven't seen any others on the road yet.

I've only seen 1 black H3 and, of course, mine on the road. Wonder where they all are?

Only mine, and I'm pretty sure I will be the only one driving one here within the next couple of months...

LOL, I live in Calexico, CA. which you can say is in the middle of nowhere, I bought my H3 in San Diego and they told me that they had sold ONE H2 SUT to a guy in Calexico last year... since they had all of their H3s already pre-sold, even if someone from around here wants to get one, they will have to wait two months until they get their H3 delivered, unless they go to another dealer or something.

It's just a guess, they are not big hummer fans around there, we'll see.

Everytime I pass the dealer they seems to have new ones or none at all. I figured to be seeing some on the road but I have seen a hell of a lot of H2s recently.

Deleon,

I think your guess will be correct for the sounds of it http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

My subdivison, myself and a Black One (appears to be lux or offroad+lux). Today I saw green and white. Have spotted yellow around frequently.

When I went for service (cracked inner wheel well) my dealer had about 12 on the lot, 5 had SOLD stickers in them.

I've had a TON of people asking me questions about mine, with price and gas mileage being the first two. Oddly enough the people who ask first about gas mileage are the same ones who bitch the engine isn't big enough!

I saw a yellow one here on the way home from work in PHX today. The chromed top grille was painted yellow to match. I wish I could have checked it out up close, it looked sweet like that.

If anyone sees one with the grill color matched to the body please post pics. I think that should look pretty damn good. I have also noticed a lot of new members to the forum the past week. Are you guess mostly H3 buyers or just happened to stumble across our little slice of heaven http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I know, I know, I am still pretty much a newbie here myself http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Saw a Boulder Grey this morning but it really looked more like Pewter to me. Looked good.

I've seen 2 in Atlanta, a white one going the other direction and a gray one with a dealer tag on it. Saw both in North Fulton county. My dealer told me I was the first person in Atlanta to take delivery... which sort of makes me feel good. There was an order before mine but they opted to go for an H2. Guess they couldn't wait any longer. I've gotten a lot of looks and questions (and even one seductively obscene gesture on the highway! ...which really made me feel good!!!) If you own an H3, you have definitely made a good decision. The best is yet to come.

I saw a green one on the freeway, the ironic thing is I was listening to the song "swamp", which is in the H3 Veritgo commercial, ironic aint it?

It had the chrome appearance package and I fell in love with the H3 once again.

I saw a white one today with Satellite TV installed. I went to the Audio shop Signature Audio, and they had 10 H3s there getting decked out for a crosh promotion for Avis rental car, and the satellite TV company. They are doing around a hundred of them for Avis...

Here are a couple pics from my camera phone.

Did you ask know how much they charge for the whole setup?

Yes, it is $3K for the dish, and $1200 for the monitor, so like around $4200.00.

3k for the dish?! wow! I've seen those for $1200 online!

Thanks for the reply! See you tomorrow!

I think the service is about $40-$50 a month too. Notice an H3 billboard this evening on the way home. Don't think it was there a few days ago. Used to be a billboard for the SUT. Of course the background was orange like the print adds so it should attract attention.

Saw another billboard today on one of the major roads in town. The beautiful part of it is that it is next to the Range Rover dealer.

I still haven't seen another one on the road around here.

I did see a billboard this weekend. It called the H3 the "nano hummer". What the hell does that mean?

I have no idea. One of them I say said it was "Pre-Shrunk" http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I saw a boulder gray one in Tucson, AZ when I was on vacation. It was headed south on Oracle around 1:00 to 1:30 PM on Sunday the 26th. Looked real nice!

They are emphasizing the fact that it is a smaller Hummer. I think Nano is a little overboard. It's a smaller hummer, but by no means small.

The wife saw a white one at her office yesterday. So I believe that brings the count here up to four. Though two of them were very possible the same one based on where they were spotted.

On Friday I saw a boulder gray on on the 210 fwy in Pasadena (a test drive I think) and a black one on the 57 fwy.

The kids saw a white one in Chattanooga last week. That makes two now around southeast TN.

My count may be off but it seems that the Boulder Grey has the most sighting.
