For me personally, I'm currently downsizing as much as possible. I unloaded my Honda Accord (opted to keep the Disco because it wouldn't sell). I've put the full stop on all unnecessary expenses (dining out, modifying my Disco, etc.) Our family income hasn't changed really, but I just don't feel good about taking on any debt at this time.

I was seriously looking at selling both vehicles and picking up the H2 (but I couldn't sell the Disco), and even when I was serious about it, it seemed like this just wasn't the right time to take on a new loan (plus the H2 was brand new and I was a bit nervous!)

I guess the spirit of my original post is that people are willing to take on new debt for the H2 - despite the economy - most likely because IMO, the H2 is the perfect opportunity for the little guy to pick up a great vehicle at an affordable price. When you compare SUV's, there's no arguing that the H2 isn't priced competitively (for what it's capable of)

Then again, I don't think there are that many H2 owners going offroad overall.
