Re: First vs Second Gen Hummer
One of the reasons second gen command so much money is their rarity. They produced 6095 2008s and 599 2009s. If you want to get really rare, they only produced 49 2009 SUTs. AM General figures show that at least 700 second generation were shipped overseas, so that leaves less than 6000 of them around to choose from. When you consider they make 11,000 Tahoes a month, it puts things in perspective. Then there's the controversial safari interior in the second gen. Some say it was only in the Detroit auto show H2 and a prominent Hummer dealer says AM General put two of those interiors in towards the end of production. AM General was uncharacteristically mum on it when it was discussed in this forum. So at most there are only three of those and I've never seen one advertised. I do like the second row Captain chairs in the second row on the second gen, that gives you a pass through to the cargo area and makes taking skis or any long items like 2 X 4s a no sweat issue.
