MAC is off the scale

The best value is if Hummer does not change the style often. H1 stayed the same for 10 years, you can drive a 1995 H1 and still look and feel fresh. Hope the same is true with H2. This is an old trick used by the European car makers. MB styles last up to 10-12 years, the last SL came out in 1990, replaced only in 2003. I bought a new 91 SL, sold in 2002, that SL looked new and fresh for 11 years. To me, once a new style of the same model came out, I feel the internal pressure to change, and the value of that car drops overnight. May not be market value, but the value in my mind, which is the only thing that counts, for me.
