Greetings from the H3 side...

In May of 05 I flew to Dallas and imported the first H3 in the state of Arizona.

I love my rig for countless reasons and although I could care less, the rockstar feeling I get from all the head turning is kind of a bonus.

The thing is, I've always wanted an H2. I remember the first H2 that I ever saw driving down the street, I said to myself "Damn! I want one of those".

Even when I first learned of the H3 I was actually shopping for an H2. I could be a two Hummer guy, that's not an issue, my questions are these:

Would you recommend an H2? I mean, Are you folks happy with your rig? Any regrets?

What should I know before I go shopping, are there any (confirmed) upgrades planned in the future like an H2 Alpha, disel, etc?

Would you wait for anything or would you buy one tomorrow?

Thanks for your input.

I somehow expected that as a response. What about the other questions?

Should I finish the Pi post?

Killian, the H2 is great. We've got two H3's joining us this weekend. Next week I'll give my personal opinion on the vehicles, just like I did after the Paragon trip two weeks ago.

But Alec, if you take out all the Free for all/Off topic posts in General, it'd be half of that...

Killian....

2/25/2006 will go down as one of my happiest days. This was the day i traded my H3 in for an H2. took a little convincing (trading in a new vehicle with 9k miles for a used vehicle with 19k miles) but after a short ride the wife was hooked.

I can honestly say i am glad we started with the H3 to just get a general feeling for the vehicles. Kind of like before buying a harley road king maybe one should start with dyna super glide to get the feel. ours is an 03 with 19k miles. the one thing i noticed (but didnt surprise me due to info from forum members) is all the damn little rattles from this thing. but thats no biggy. also the gas mileage. i averaged roughly 15-16 with the H3. the h2 i am around 12.5 over 400 miles. nothing noticeable.

GET the 2. you will be happy. plus the difference in room is HUGE. both are deceptive in size but the 3 justw as way to cramped. much cozier in the 2.......then again these are just my 2cents http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I traded my 6 month old/6,000 mile 2006 H3 for a new/leftover 2005 H2 SUT.
I was very happy with the H3 and I was afraid I would regret trading. However, I'm pleased to report, after 2 months/1,800 miles, that I like my H2, even more.
Right now, there are some great deals on new H2's and H3's bring a good trade-in price. Therefore, trading now isn't as crazy as it may seem.

don't forget the H2 has been here for 3 years now, the H3 less than a full year
