I spoke with our dealer in Norcal and they said "you better hurry up because there is gonna be a price increase very soon". That was three weeks ago. To be frankly honest, I didn't believe him. I really think it is GM trying to hit their widely publicized 35,000 production target for the 2003 model. It is the old trick of "make them feel like they gotta have one before the price changes frenzy". Our dealer has well over 12 H2's on their lots and 1.5 times that in H1's. Although they say they sell through about seven a week, there is a good selection right off the lot.
I asked about a diesel. The sales manager of the dealership said that it was going to be very unlikely they offer a diesel for the H2 soon because it would cause a conflict with the H1. He said the diesel is a determining factor for many that buy an H1. A diesel in the H2 would make it hard for anyone to pay an extra 60k for an H1.
