I had budgeted $65K and I know that there are two prevailing perceptions of the H2 that make the value higher or lower:
(1) The H2 is just a Suburban with different sheetmetal.
(2) The H2 is the most capable SUV short of an H1, with unique drivetrain, 4WD system, and numerous exclusive features.
I fall into camp #2 because, like many of you, I've actually looked at the specification sheet and studied the vehicle before purchasing. The people that discount the H2 as item #1 have failed to even consider half the unique features that the H2 possesses.
It amazes me that people consider the H2 a marketing ploy and nothing more than a Tahoe or Suburban. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you want marketing ploys - Lexus charging a premium for an overglorified Toyota with woodgrain or BMW charging thousands extra for an upgrade from V6 to V8, in the same model line, is where you should start.
