That black interior looks very nice.

The rearview camera described above is already on some of the Limited Edition H2's. My 2007 Victory Red LE H2 came with it from the factory.

Its the ugly 'GM' product badge. Most new GM's have it. I think it distracts from the H2 emblem.

I like how they introduced it so far with some cool off-highway photos, instead of blinged out. Wonder what the NY display will look like?

Did not know that....

Nice asphalt queen. If I wanted an Escalade I would go out and buy one... other than the rear view mirror with pop out monitor...I don't like it. I like the old interior much better, all things considered, with all the upgrades alot of us have done to our rigs our interiors are in pretty damn great condition along with the Nav and stero upgrades. Cosmetics are okay, but where it really counts is in the suspension and off road handling capabilities, I still see the same old Tie rod, Pitman and idler problems have not been addressed, nor has anything been done to beef up the CV's or spider gears in the front diff. There is a reason COGNITO built the Idler & Pitman support bracket, Fabtech designed a better tierod and Moog built better CV's...it's called a design problem! 6th gear...whoopadee doo...don't care for it. I'll wait until they make a real improvement like an Alpha H2 with an extra 100 hp's so that when the government decides that we should all be running 100% Ethanol the horse power we loose will not be noticed. For crying out loud build a bigger better monster!

Well... Okay.

I heard a rumor today that the H1 will be returning in the future.

That new motor and tranny is an excellent upgrade. I don't know about the other things on your list though, but they're good points. I don't think anyone's mentioned if they've improved those or not.

I was talking to a first hand knowledgeable person today and the orange interior in the pictures, isn't going to be that orange. The leather in those rigs is messed up. It should be fixed for the production runs.

Again, the 6.2 and six speed is an awesome setup. The deeper first and second gears allow a taller gear ratio. Two mpg increase across the board will be a good deal for H2 sales. We may be buying one.

I don't know if I believe this rumor or not. But I would like to think it is true!

I think you can get the rearview mirror on any model, not just the LE's. I liked my old setup better with the standalone camera and hitch mounted camera. The camera mount on the one I looked at pointed too low in my opinion.

When looking at the new GM interiors that have come out within the last year, I did not like the change in the seats. I find the old seat design, still in the '07 H2, to be much more comfortable.

I like they are trying with the interior but they really need to spend some time on the technology. As was previously mentioned, really need bluetooth. Also could try a little bit harder on the stereo, its a shame to pay 55K or more and to have that poor of sound. Hopefully the new NAV will also be acceptable. Hard to imagine that you can't operate the NAV and listen to a CD at the same time. Almost didn't renew because of the technology. I loved my '03 but the shortfall of very common technology discouraged me.

I also echo the desire for the diesel but last I heard was not to expect it before the 2010 model and maybe 2011. That will Be perfect timing to trade my '07.

That's correct. (For H2s)

Who uses CD's anymore? I don't even understand why aftermarket stereos even come with cd players anymore. Everyone I know uses ipods for music. CD and DVD is great for backing up music, but thats about it.

Well given the H2 comes with an IPOD plug-in, I can see why they wouldn't have a CD player. Maybe in 2008.

I could see if you made the statement about casettes but it is a little early to be pushing CD's the way of the 8-track. CD sales a definitely declining but still a few of us hanging out here with the plastic. Even have some vinyl hanging around the house.

Sorry to disappoint you but still a few cavemen hanging around out here. Maybe I should look into buying one of those Ipod thingies so I won't be so inadequate. Does a Walkman count?

I use tons of CD's. I still haven't gotten around to buying an iPod.

A hummer tech told me you will be able to get H1's through AM General, but only with the military style interior. He also said they re-designed the hood and cooling systems and added a bilge pump system instead of having to use the plugs to sink them when fording deep water. I dont know if this is ture or not, but he definatley knows what he is talking about when it comes to all Hummers and I doublt he would make all of that up. Suposedly the sent him up to south bend recently and thats where he learned of all this.

I would imagine quite a few still use CDs, or at least everyone I know. Of course I could ask why use an Mp3 or Ipod when you can get a hard drive in the radio head.
I have an MP3 for the gym, but I'm satisified with CDs or my Pioneer's internal hard drive.
