Spidey, if you want to invest your money, you might try stocks or bonds. . . or older cars that have already bottomed out and are on their way back up in value. (When I was a kid, I bought a '64 Alfa Romeo Guilia Spyder in '68 for $1000. Today, you can't touch one in good shape for uner $15K and pristine examples sell for $30K) Buying a recently produced vehicle is an expense, not an investment.

I like unique vehicles as much or maybe even more than the next guy. My '99 Prowler is holding pretty steady in value right now. But that's because a. They don't make them any more and b. They only made 11,700 of them during it's 5 year run -- it was intended to be a limited production vehicle. Even so, I bought it to DRIVE (well, in top down weather only) and enjoy, not as an "investment."

The H2 will remain a unique vehicle, but the past and continuing volume of production, not the H3, will drive the value of your H2 down. I think the H3 is going to be a neat addition to the hummer line-up.
