Although I realize it cannot be compared "apples to apples" to any other SUV on the market, but what -- regarding size -- would you compare the H3 to?
I know, I COULD go look up the sizes of all the other SUV's on the market with the H3 stats, but I am WAY too lazy for that! And, why go to the trouble when I can get someone to tell me that has seen it first-hand?  </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Ok lazy lolo: Waaaay smaller than the H2.  Since I don't really care about another SUV that's all I can give you.

It was the Adventure package. The interior looked to be same as the photo on the website in the section (H3 Highlights on the Inside) No leather. My kids loved it. I had to pull them away. It does have rear wiper. The back seat was very roomy. Big enough for two car seats. Can't wait to get mine next week. I think the 4-Runner would be a close comparison but the H3 looks bigger. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>You must be getting one off the first truck. Great for you! Of course I'll be surprised if it happens that fast. 
How would you describe those seats? Not really cloth. Whatever, it feels very durable.

Looking for any feasible alternative to my H2 radio problem! Actually, my husband would LOVE for me to trade my H2 for a little better fuel economy... but I fear the only trade I would make is for a NEW H2! The H3 may be a bit small for me now!

Hey guys,
Ken is @ the dealership and wanted me to relay that the wheels on that particular H3 are 33" w/ chrome which is not factory or an option. The aforementioned 2 switches are blanks and the dealers at this point are unaware of the particular funtion.
Funpilot-
They have viewed the forum ( got a giggle )and said that everything is way cool and they understand. They said if you are interested to come check it out today 5/17 prior to 5:30pm. There is a Hummer Happening/ new showroom opening @ 6:00. Trust me the guys up there are genuine when they say that.
I will check the darn steps or ladder tonight and let you know.  |

Here are a couple of pics. The first it the elusive rear wiper. Yes, the commision was right and there is one.
The H3 will not be available in this particular arrangement. As HCP said, the rims will not be available with the 33's. The gas cap is also unavailable.

The thought is GM produced the vehicle, and others like it, to look good and garner attention. It seems to have done the trick as this truck was seen by over 30 people yesterday who were just driving down the street. There is one exception, I guess it was loadedh3 that stopped by with the kids.
Pic of the blanks in the center stack.

Now here's a pic of the seats. They are cloth, which I don't think you can get with the chrome package, and feel extremely durable. Another case of building an attention getter.

h2co-pilot: I am still in NY so will not be back until Friday. I am glad they are ok with my situation. As such, I will buy all my factory options from them.

Great pics! No chrome gas cap and the wheels are different.

KenP,
Thanks for the great pics and the info. Glad we all have closure on the wiper and buttons issue.

I have a locksmith shop at my disposal. Is there a number on the face of the gas cap by the key hole? I'll send out a key...
