If you could talk to GM....

Efrain,

I was one of the first to own the H2...well, at least within the first weeks of new owners. It was awesome...people starred, marveled, admired, gathered, even followed me. The "honeymoon" only lasted about 9 months...then the general public turned on us.

Anyways...months before I took delivery I had actually anticipated spending years explaining to people that they were looking at the newest model of Hummer, an H2. I actually thought it would be as rare as the Humvee or H1. I wanted something different, unique....even an "exotic" of sorts. Well....NOT

I'll tell ya straight, I wish this thing had gear-driven hubs, CTIS and some other kickass features like night-vision and other offroad capable gimmicks....and had it cost $90k, I'd have tossed my money at it anyways. Frankly, I was counting on price being a barrier to ensure exclusivity.

Just the other day I was returning from a jaunt of mountain biking, when I pulled upto an intersection, there were 2 other H2's, and this was just a residential neighborhood. Course, mine was the only one with a trashed skid-plate, no side-steps and chunks missing from the tires...but still, it rather upset me.

GM is only interested in numbers, or so it would seem.
