Disagree toward H3

[Spidey]

Well while I'm here I may as well share what's been pissing me off for awhile . Personally I think the H3 is Bull****. It shouldn't have been made. I think by bringing out such a model cheapens & takes away from the awesome reputation the Hummer currently has. I feel we are being sold out to MARKETING !!
Too Bad always for the all mighty buck !!!

Ahha. Like predicting the presidential election after the first state closed its polls, I see a pattern emerging (as I expected) from the poll. Most people seem to have bought/buy an H2 because they like the looks/appearance and because it's different "Like nothing else". Not because of its offroad ability, price, etc. Therefore, we're somewhat of a unique buyer for a unique vehicle. When I look at the H3, although it has some H2 similarities, it reminds me more of a beefed up Durango, without the H2 "extreme" features. With that in mind, I don't think it will have much of an affect on H2s, new, used or otherwise. There will probably be some that buy the H3 strictly on price but they couldn't afford the H2 to start with so no impact. Others will buy the H3 because they just can't handle the H2 size, but want to say they drive a "Hummer". Still no impact because they weren't going to buy an H2 anyway. Since the poll seems to be indicating that people buy H2's based on "looks/style" primarilly, it's my opinion that GM has designed the H3 just different enough and into the SUV "mainstream" as to NOT qualify in any way as an H2. I think GM has been very smart on this design and my best guess is that the H3 will have next to zero impact on the H2. I DO think it will cut into other SUVs like Durango, etc.

Update: With 15 votes in and after moving Seths one bogus vote it's nearly 100% for buying H2's based on difference/appearance/style. Set an H2 & H3 next to each other and although there are some similarities, they're vastly different vehicles. H3s will have no impact on H2s. GM hit it on the head when they said "Like nothing else" and that will continue to be its attraction. But everyone should remember that H2s are a targeted selective market and I think GM knows that and that's the very reason for introducing the H3. Smart marketing on their part.

Hey LUNKHEAD Take that !!

[4churchill]

Hey *******, first off who are you to judge the success of another, second of all, do you enjoy having everyone dislike you? It seems you dont have the capacity to realize that we don't regard you as anything but a menace, and no one takes anything you say to heart. Even if you did have a valid point, which you haven't, your attitude, and constant attacks on others, would cause us to disregard your statements anyway. Take off the caps, talk to us,not at us, be willing to accept the fact that not everyone will agree with you, and understand that you, as your title says are new to this forum. If you do that, perhaps people will converse with you, and not attack you, which to this point is what has happened, because you came in guns-a-blazing, and unable to accept critacism.

[Hi all,
I will be honest! I can't afford a H2 plus the lousy gas mileage. I believe I will be able to swing the H3. Right now I drive a Jeep Liberty which is great off road but is too small. Someone was saying the H3 is not too much bigger though.

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.

Well, personally, I think you are one of the stupid ****birds who should have your hummer ownership immediately and permanently revoked. What the hell is this stupid **** about, "HANDFUL OF FAITHFUL PATRIOCHS DESERVE TO BE ABLE TO SHARE IN A FEW MORE YEARS OF GLORY
RATHER THEN BE SOLD AS THE FAD OF THE EARLY NEW CENTURY AND POSSIBLY THE NEXT GLOBAL NOVELTY ACT."

Guy, if this is what has been bothering you for a while, a new life is in order for you. What other people buy and own should no more affect you as a Hummer owner as it should the stupid eco-idiots. You are worse than the eco-idiots because you don't even have a reason that is in the realm of logic for not wanting a vehicle produced.

Get off your self-centered high-horse of an ass and enjoy the vehicle you have and quit worrying about how what someone else drive's effects your fragile juvenile psyche.

You've got to be kidding me. Your still at it??? Take it to the woodshed so everyone doesn't have to see this crap every time.

THANK YOU KenP!!! I get a bit worked up when H2 owners act as though they made HUMMER. It is akin to thinking the only real Benz is the SL65. It is one hell of a car, but there is more to the brand. Yes H2 is a great ride and it has really helped the HUMMER name. There is more to HUMMER than H2. HUMMER is H1, H2, and now H3. Hummer was around LONG before H2 and will be around LONG AFTER H3. If you truely want to be an ambassador to the brand, you shound be happy that more people will be able to experience what HUMMER is!!! WELCOME H3 and H3 owners!!!

OMG, Buwhahahaha!

Paragon, thanks for standing up. Cheers to you.

I respect his "opinion" which I think is hilarious, and here is mine - What a freakin idiot!

You poor short bus rider.

H2F, you're right. I forgot about that. There is an entire Pandora's Box waiting if he says that. Bling, silicone, ice, etc... Of course, some of that could be fun.

Kevin, ignore my previous post.

There is still more to explore here, like comments such as "I feel we are being sold out to MARKETING" but he turns around and talks about buying because of a label that is popular due only to marketing.
