H3 Demographics

[HummerNewbie]

I was just curious about who is buying the H3 and why.

Myself
Sex: Male
Age: 36
Marital Status: Pretty much married
Occupation: GM for a small computer board manufacturer
Reason for getting H3: Fell in love with the H2 but it is out of my budget right now. The H3 is the closest thing I could get. Wanted something different than everything else on the road. Also would like to start wheeling with it.

Marital Status: Single
Occupation: EH&S Manager
Reason for getting H3: I want a 4 door SUV that can really go off road from the factory. I hope to keep my Jeep Rubicon but need more space for longer expedition type trips, dogs and passengers and gear. If not for the Adventure Package with low gears, rear locker, 33" tires and largish gas tank and good price I would probably not consider the H3.

And it is nice to Buy American Iron!!

Occupation: Computer Science Engineer, I own a Web hosting company and take care of advanced customer support (web and mail server configuration, maintenance, software evaluation and installation, etc.)
Reason for getting H3: Fell in love with the HUMMER Brand since I got my first HUMMER toy car, I wanted to get an H2 but couldn't afford it last year, then the H3 came out and I liked it a lot, even though I could afford a used H2 I think the H3 is more convenient for city driving and the fuel economy is better than the H2... maybe when the H2 SUT ALpha comes out I will upgrade, for the moment I am more than happy with my H3

Occupation: Program Manager for IT Company
Reason for Wanting the H3: Love the Hummer brand and much like most of the H3 buyers, the H2 is out of my price range. I first heard of the H3 about 4 years ago when I met a girl who was an engineer helping to design the door of the H3. I knew right then and there this was the ride for me. Reasonably priced Hummer. All over it! Can't wait to get mine. Still a couple months out.

Occupation: Dentist (Orthodontic resident)
Reason for getting H3: I was looking to buy a car next year(probably a 4-runner), I saw the H3 and was hooked. I'm normally a very practical person, but this decision was made on pure adrenalin.

Occupation: Electical Contractor
Reason for getting H3: On Jun 18, 2005, 10:48am, my son and I were rear ended @ a stop light by a drunk driver. He was going 65mph, never hit the brakes, and crushed my company F150. My son and I walked away.
Monday I went shopping. I was sold on a Siverado Crew Cab /Duramax/4x4 because of the great price and good ride. I saw my first H3 on the way home and thought "why do I need a truck?" After 4 days of back and forth in my head and on paper, the H3 kept winning. My main concerns were being too showy to my customers and my employees...But the H3 was still $4,000 less than the truck. I can justify it! I ordered the H3 on 6/25/05. My wife drives a Steel Blue BMW 330Ci and I ordered the Slate Blue H3. I am anxious to see how close they match.
My lifted and built Jeep Cherokee is going to be SO mad when I bring it home

By GM training material the avarage H3 owner will be the following...
average
age 40
income 100k dual 75k single
male 60%
married 70%
college grad 55%
children 64%
cars in fleet 2

Buyer is active and adventurous
confident but not brash
driven by long term goals, believers in working hard and playing hard.
most have not considered H2 because of size, effciency or price

looks like you guys fit one way or another?

Marital Status: Single
Occupation: Project Engineer
Reason for getting an H3: Wanted an H2 real bad because of the unique boxy, but elegant looks, but was turned off by the width and height of it. The H3 is a little more sub-urban friendly and it is a HUMMER, so I got it instead.

Marital Status: Luckily Married to a Wife who understands mid-life crisis and male toys
Occupation: College Professor
Reason for getting H3: I have been a Jeep person all my adult life. Fell in love with Hummer when they first came out with a civilian model, but couldn't justify the size and MPG. Waited for Hummer to come out with a model comparable to my Grand Cherokee, and the H3 fits the bill. I also wanted to be the first kid on the block to have a new style vehicle.

Occupation: Systems \ Network Administrator
Reason for getting H3: Loved H2 but not the price. Also wasn't crazy about getting that thing around in town, or filling it up. Heard the H3 was as good off road or at least very close..(found out it is true on the Detroit Hummer Happening). Plus I love the styling! Also, in my opinion, the H3 interior is MUCH nicer then the H2...the thick steering wheel just makes you feel like you driving a tank.

Occupation: Owner of a small computer software company
Reason: I always liked the H2 but not the size or MPG. I had a Tundra 4 Door but it was like driving a boat. Parking was hell. I sold it and bought a Nissan Pathfinder which was a very nice SUV but it had no style or flair. The H3 has a unique tough and rough appearance and feel. Its just the coolest SUV on the road.

I actually fit one of the demographics that Hummer has made. I do not think I match any of the H2 or H1.

Occupation: Process Engineer, GM
Reason For Getting H3: The H2 is a little bulky and too hard on fuel. I fell in love with the H3 when I first saw one in May. I was driving mine on June 11th and think its one of the nicest vechicals I have ever owned.

Marital Status: Married 37 years
Occupation: Retired AF Pilot F104/F106/F4 etc
Edwards AFB Test Pilot Instructor 9 years
Education: Masters Aeronautical Engr.
Reason for getting my H3: My Vehicross was
getting old, and I wanted more room, and
something that would carry more inside, and
would get me up the trail to my house in the
Ozarks in all kinds of weather and still be
comfortable on the highway and not look like
every other SUV you see. The H2 would never
squeeze through some of the places I go, but
I considered it briefly and liked the mileage
of the H3 and creature comforts. I appreciate
the engineering of the H3 and love machinery.

Occupation: Graphics Designer
Reason for getting H3: Loved the H1 and H2 but too pricy for me (plus MPG was brutal). Knew H3 was coming so I patiently waited and now I drive the coolest SUV in the world! All of you H3 owners rock!!!

Marital Status: Married 24 years.
Occupation:Architectural Paving Contractor
Reason: tired of driving a truck, wife drives a BMW Z4 so we needed something the family and/or dogs and gear could get in (kayaking,fishing etc)Love the square styling and capabilities of all the Hummers, drove the H2, was impressed, but can't justify the $$ or the mileage. Wish a small (say 3.0L) turbo-diesel was offered in the H3.
