Sorry to burst the bubble of the enormous H3 sales, but all the vehicles run at the plant are on sequence; therefore, Colorados and Canyons are in sequence with the H3. The differnces between the vehicles (other than obvious looks) is the numbers prior to the last eight in the VIN.
For example here is a Hummer VIN number 5GTDN136268155001:
5 Country of Build (1,4,5 denote USA)
G World Make Modifier G = General Motors
T H3
D GVWR/Brake System D = 5001-6000 GVWR Range (lbs) Hydraulic brakes
N Line Chassis N = Hummer
1 Series 1 - 4x4
3 Body Type 3 = Four-door cab/utility
6 Engine Type 6 = L52, 3.5L L5, MFI
2 Check digit (randomly generated)
6 Model Year 6 = 2006
8 Manufacturing Plant 8 = Shreveport, LA
155001 VIN Sequence number. First digit (1) is not used on this vehicle for VIN range and may change from year-to-year. For example, one year it might be 1, the following year 5. If the plant will produce greater than 99,999 vehicles it will be used and wil be zero until the 100,000 vehicle is produced. In this case, this vehicle was the 55,001 vehicle produced at Shreveport for model year '06 vehicles.
This is a VIN for a Colorado, notice the last eight digits...1GCCS136668155000...this was the vehicle produced immediately before the above Hummer.
All it means is that Shreveport has built over 80K vehicles this year.
