Well, went to the Autoshow in Motion yesterday - thanks for convincing me, Churchill - it was VERY cool! They had a mini course set up to take H2s and H3s off roading - a set of small hills to show articulation, a 35-degree side slope and a 40+-degree hill. Of course I went, had to get my fix. You should have SEEN the lines - all the other courses had about 5-6 people in line (there were like 50+ different kinds of cars you could drive). The H3 in the road course had about 15 ppl in line. The Corvette line in the performance course had about 30-50 ppl in line. The H2 off road course had a continuous line of 100-200 ppl!!! It was insane! I am SO glad GM did this tho - even tho the vast majority of people there couldn't afford the truck, I hope that maybe they'll see how cool these vehicles are now and how they're different from your typical SUV - maybe we get AS much flak for driving monster gas-guzzling SUVs that block out the sun.

BTW - what's up with the pricing, or am I just out of the loop??? The sticker prices on the H2s on display were $62,000! My truck was stickered at $48,000 when I bought it in 03 - has GM really jacked the prices that much? No wonder they're having a hard time moving them off the lot!

Any pics Stacy?

Why don't they have this stuff in Canuck Land?

Where did you go to this Autoshow in Motion, was it in San Antonio?

It was in San Antonio - it's a traveling roadshow put on by GM. I have NO idea how I got on the mailing list, it was addressed to my maiden name, and I've been married for 7 years! Here's the website - it looks like they're done for November tho:

Dennis - I have no idea. The 2 guys running the H2 course were Canadians!!!! Why are you sending all YOUR people down here (or is this the invasion prep?? )?
