2006 H2 is here

[aggiehummer...er]

We just got some in, they changed the mirror caps a little bit, that's the only noticeable difference on the outside. Instead of the entire mirror cap being chrome, there's a chrome insert with the H2 logo on it, looks really nice. We just got a couple of Stealth Blues and a Black SUT. They have the 4-year/50,000 mile warranty as well.

[HummerNewbie]

Can you post a pic of the new cap?

[Bill Kervaski]

Ooo oooo ooo!! pics!!! pics!! PICS!!!!

[aggiehummer...er]

Here you go!

[VTSTOMPER]

not bad!

[Bill Kervaski]

Slick. More pics!!! Maybe an inside snapshot?

(thanks, btw)

[HummerNewbie]

I like that http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[aggiehummer...er]

The only other difference I noticed was that if you don't have the tire carrier on the back, the black part of the liftgate now has Hummer embossed on it.

I love the new caps.

[Bill Kervaski]

I'd really be interested in seeing the SUT pics... What dealership?

[VTSTOMPER]

Looks like a whole new mirror to tell you the truth.

[Bill Kervaski]

I'd have to see a pic taken a bit back before passing judgement...

[aggiehummer...er]

The black plastic part, above the license plate holder.

[DRTYFN]

THAT LOOKS LIKE ****!!!!!!! That has to be the worst thing I've seen on the H2. That new mirror is horrible looking!!!

[HummerNewbie]

I would have to agree with Bill on that. So do I understand this correctly, they went to the outside carrier for '05 and then dropped it for '06?

[Bill Kervaski]

@HummerNewbie -

I think you have a choice, OEM tire carrier or not on the SUV. I don't see how the SUT could have the tire anywhere else.

[HummerNewbie]

Thanks Bill. I agree on the SUT but I thought all SUVs came with the outside carrier now. I didn't realize you had a choice.

[aggiehummer...er]

The tire carrier is still on there, this is all behind it.

They have to just keep trying to come up with the next cool thing or they are going to get canned. Ideas don't just fall from the sky, really good ideas have to be cultivated.

Who I have a problem with is up the chain of command some. Who are the dummies that signed off on that, saying THEY thought it looked good an should be on the next year H2. They are the ones that need to be taken out back and caned. This bling stuff is just getting a little too carried away.

[VTSTOMPER]

you know what would be better?

Taking that chrome section out, and putting a HID or even LED off road lamp in there! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Then you can go head on, or off to the side when you flip them in! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[H2Blondie]

I'm glad I got the 05 and didn't wait for that worthless change on the 06. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[KenP]

I don't really like it.

Everybody knows what an H2 looks like.

Landing lights . . . I like!

The new mirror kinda reminds me of a bling-toothed smile on a rapper.

[H2005]

Looks like ****. No bling bling for me.

[DRTYFN]

Plus, the base of it looks like Rosie O'Donnell's double chin and fat neck.

[Andre]

Maybe they fixed the problems....maybe these won't get loose or have folding problems.

You need to sell that idea to GM http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[GeneseeMtn]

It would be great if you could get a Hummer without chrome from the factory without having to special order it.

I like the new black wheels on the alpha, better than the SHINERS from '01-'04.

[DennisAJC]

C@CKSUCKERS! That looks like ****!

I'm hoping this is just an aftermaket mirror since I haven't seen any REAL pictures of the new 06 stock this guy's touting.

[Bill Kervaski]

@dennisajc -

I agree that it could be b.s. Post more pics.

Yet the H2 is the worst offender. Off the top of my head w/o even looking it up I can think of 17 places where the H2 says either "H2" or "Hummer", if you did some shopping at SMA.

[RasterMaster]

Smells of BLING to me....wish they'd have offered mine without the chrome mirror caps, door handles, roof bars and grille.

The only differences they offered in '03 was with or without Air Suspension.

[aggiehummer...er]

Not really sure what I would have to gain by lying about those mirrors, sorry I haven't been able to post any more pics, I've been on the lot all day (just sold a white SUT). Here's another one, they're all on lifts in the shop right now getting all the RPAs put on.

[aggiehummer...er]

Here's another one of it folded in next to the sticker that says 2006 SUV

[DennisAJC]

Sorry dude. My bad.

Been trigger happy lately. Thanks for the pics.

It's still ugly as **** though.

[aggiehummer...er]

No prob man. As they always say around here (I just started selling Hummers), "If that's the worst mistake you make with us, you'll be doing alright."

Here's to plenty of 1 Ups for all of us.

[rodster]

aggie -- What are RPAs?

[Bill Kervaski]

Thanks, Aggie!!!

Wow. Who @ HUMMER approved that. Awful.

[timgco]

That whole mirror looks as though it was re-designed. I wonder if it had improved for the vibration issues.??? I like the mirror! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
I wonder if I can swap them out and put them on mine? Have to paint the chrome though.

[Bill Kervaski]

I like that they are making improvements, certainly. But If the mirror just had a piece of chrome instead of the logo, it would look high-class. As it stands, it just looks cheesy.

[aggiehummer...er]

It's the new Supercharger they're having as an option on the 2006. Just kidding. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

Those are like the assist steps, brush guards, basically anything that's ordered from the factory that they don't want to put on the truck for shipment.

[Bill Kervaski]

Ah!! Aggie, are you saying the chrome H2 on the new mirror is an option???

[PARAGON]

So, what happens if you don't get the bling package. Wonder what THAT mirror looks like. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

[aggiehummer...er]

That mirror is replacing the chrome mirror cap that was in the Chrome Appearance Package. As far as I know, without the Chrome Appearance Package the mirror would just be solid black.

The Chrome Appearance Package is included in the Lux/1SC package. Having seen it in person, I think it would look awesome on a black truck if you took the inserts off and had them powder coated black.

Great Idea - You should shoot that to GM/Dealer...

[Boss Hoss]

As i just bought my a month ago, im glad to see minimal changes have been made....kinda sucks they extended the warranty but hopefully i wont need it. Thanks for the update.

[ROX]

Soooo, they changed the mirror cap and the warranty. Wow. I like the mirror cap, but that's all they came up with for the new model year? I think GM needs to hire a woman engineer. They need help, time for a pro. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I can't stand options like: Here's your choice of interiors; black and dull grey errr I mean wheat. Here's your new NAV system that can't play a CD at the same time you're trying to Navigate; and by the way, everwhere you want to be ain't on it. The damn thing ought to have a button for every potty break on the road. It should also be programmed to list good shopping places first and follow it with the best places to stop for an after shopping toddy. Oh!, and a mirror that tells us how nice we look no matter what.
The stereo needs to have SUPER SPACESHUTTLE sound instead of surround your little ass sound and why not give us the option of CTIS?(Central Tire Inflation System)
Bling comes standard, and you have to pay extra for black. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I think the new mirrors would look really good with the chrome piece, but without the embossed H2 logo. Wonder how expensive it would be to have someone make you a few?

[H2Singh]

If it has the "caddy" warranty now 4yr/50k does it come with the upgraded onstar package for one year free now too??

[Zing]

Don't like the mirrors. Reminds me of chrome, which I never liked on the H2 either.

[H2Finally]

You people are ABSOLUTELY BLIND!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif That looks good!! Anyone get an 06 doesn't want the mirrors, I'll trade with my 04s!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

[PARAGON]

You're right. I think all Pewters look better with chrome all over them. It brightens up that drab grey. That's all it is, right, just grey.

Noticed, king Pewter, Phil, has added chrome. They just should all have chrome. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

The chrome attracts the urban market. Seems, no one is buying the marketing of the Hummer Tahoe as an "off-road" vehicle. Poor product design catches up with you.

[devilsfan]

Hey, at least they didn't put the freakin' GM badge on the mirrors too.

I don't like them. Gonna be a PIA to get mud out of those crevices.
