I have an 05 Lux now and had an 03 LUX and hardly see a difference...

The only differences I see are:
1. The black leather is softer
2. the armrest is nice
3. it seems to ride a "little" smoother
4. the seat heater buttons are flush with the plastic plate they are in
5. the all-up / all-down window button is new
6. XM is built-in to the radio

That is all that I have noticed other than the tail lights.

The H2 is an excellent truck compared to others. If I wanted a Luxury vehicle I would drive a Mercedes. The Hummer is rugged and capable. It holds its value FAR better than other trucks and SUV's. They dont change the body style (minimal changes).

At this point I could care less what other people "think" about the H2. I sold my 03 and drove a car for 1 month (attempt to be more fuel effecient) before I realized how much I need a truck. COmpare all the SUV's and trucks and the H2 is a best value. You can bang it up, tow a trailer, enjoy a night on the town, haul people and "stuff", etc. The first day I bought this 05 I was towing a backhoe.

Interior...who cares? I do however really like the Bose stereo and heated seats!

I bought my 03 in Dec 2004 for $37500 with 16k miles, I sold it in Feb 2007 with 73k miles for $32500. Friends, that is cheap driving. Almost 2.5 years, almost 60k miles, $5k in depreciation. That H2 took me places nobody else could go, it was more of a tool than a "car" and it kept me safe. The only problem I had with the 03 was the power mirrors didnt fold in when it was freezing outside but the dealer replaced them. I changed the oil but never did any of the "maintenance". It was like new when I sold it.
