AM General shuts down H2 plant

[Dave92270]

that's a bad news...

I don't know if it is a coincidence (sort of doubt it..), but since yesterday prices on two H2's I tracked jumped up; nice clean base '05 with 33k miles went from $22k to $25, and '08 demo (80 miles, but horrible dual-color paint scheme) from $50k (still in the morning paper at that price) to $56k already at the website.. both are sold by dealerships here in SoCal

I am okay with it. All Great things must come to an end. Look at is this way all of us H2 owners already have a Classic! Im sure that if it comes back it will only be if a buyout is done or when the economy recovers.

Now it might be a while, If you think about it the true muscle car dissapeared in the late 70's only to come back in the 90's. Im thinking this may be the trend we could see.

Just my $.02

I've noticed on Ebay and Auto Trader some of the H2 prices have come up a thousand or two in one day! One H2 ad on Ebay says "Own the last of the the best offroad vehicle ever made, except for the H1!"There are so many H2s out there we're not going to have to worry about parts and I'm sure there will be aftermarket manufacturers IF NO ONE buys Hummer from GM and this really is the end of the line for the H2.
