The H2 was an unprecedented success - I think 90% of that was because it totally broke the mold. In a market where the trend was to be sleek, stylish and carlike, here comes GM with a large box that drives like a tank that defies anything currently on the market. People wanted it because it was different.
The H3 does not follow in the H2 footsteps in this manner. It will be a good mid-sized SUV to compete with other mid-sized SUVs on the market, but it is in no way a ground-breaker like the H2 was. Stacy <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
That's my thoughts too. I realize much of it is wishful thinking, but if you talk with dealers they are figuring it'll be an even bigger hit then the H2 and Hummer-mania will rage through the country with a resurgence of renewed Hummer interest.
Man....the H2 was HOT, rappers & movie stars had them and they were in the news, etc. The H3 will be a solid mid-sized SUV but there's no way its gonna rock the SUV market like the H2 did. Which is not to suggest I don't like 'em....I'm just getting tired of hearing certain people say "if you think the H2 was big, wait till the H3 comes out!!!". It will be interesting to see what happens!!!!!
Last thought: the single part that the H1 and H2 shared is the D-ring on the rear-bumper: that's gone from the H3. Makes ya wonder...
