I give up. You hjaven't got the foggiest clue about Hummers or Hummer owners. Most of them DID buy the image. Every single person that bought an H2 or H1 saw the more practical alternatives and said "practicality be damned" and got the Hummer despite it's shortcomings, the H3 will be no different. Also a basic understanding of economics would help you out here. Yes GM is going to sell as many as possible, but the market is eventually going to stabilize after the initial thrust of purchases...thus a 25% decrease in sales is very understandable....
....does anybody else want to try and make this point?? I can't seem to explain it on a level that can be understood....
BTW, your opinion about the pulling possibility of other, better diesels is plain old wrong, that's why GM is changing the H1 engine completely in '06.

Maybe the ppl you know bought for image only. Thats fine and dandy. The ppl I know in my area did NOT buy an H2 or H1 because of image. Infact they made the choice to either buy or not because of the compariosn with other vehicles. Some did buy, some bought something else like an Escalade. You apparantly still think you can read every persons mind that ever bought an H2. Well you can keep to your fantasy land.
Now tell me, where have you ever seen a better deisel pull a full size artillery piece? huh? You can't(the comparison was with an H1 and a cummins desiel dodge pickup if you dont remember). No dodge pickup is going to be able to pull a 155mm artillery gun. Can a humvee? yes, why? Because of the frame of the vehicle. You dont or refuse to be able to grasp simple concepts. As far as your 25% reduction in sales thing. No joke sherlock. We both stated the same thing, except you cant understand how to read, or so it seems.
