I believe if there wasn't an H3, the H2 sales would be WAAY up. I guess it all depends on how much on a mark up GM has on the trucks. They might actually be making more $$$ profit wise on the H3's

I certainly don't take your comment as a shot as the H3 but it is different around here. I still see at least 3 H2s for ever H3. That will change over time just because of the price point giving the H3 such a larger market. I know at my dealership they had more people who had planned on getting an H3 but ended up getting an H2 instead than the other way around. Granted most of those were used H2s so they don't show up on the sales figures listed above. I really don't think the H3 is taking much if any sales away from new H2s. I really think it is a matter of they have been out for 3 years now and just don't move as fast as when they were the hot new thing. Give it a year or so and I think the sales numbers will start going back up some as people start trading in their '03s on new ones. As I saw someone mention in a thread the past day or so, they are still surpassing the sales figures they originally hoped they would get with the H2. Just my 2 cents on it.
