H3 At Norwood, MA Dealer Tomorrow

[H3wannabe]

Went and saw it this morning. It was a red lux without the offroad pkg. I didn't get to drive it as it is owned by a retired GM exec and not for sale. My thoughts:

Pros
1. Even nicer looking in person!
2. Size was comparable to a expedition only a foot or 2 shorter. Good sized but not too small or too big.
3. Good leg room in the back seats (I have 2 kids...this is important or you get the "kicking of the front seats" game)
4. Nice looking/quality interior. Doesn't look like a GM interior (thank god!)
5. The red is a nice shade, but I want the slate blue
6. The smaller tires don't look bad at all on the truck. Very surprised as some of the pics I have seen make the smaller tires look too small for the truck. My guess is they may if you park next to another H3 with the big tires.
7. This dealer will accept the GM supplier discount.

Cons:

1. I want slate blue metallic, so they can't even take my order yet (well, they would take my money but it wouldn't be placed on order yet as the GM system won't accept it). This is a real bummer.
2. No lease residual amount yet.
3. No orders for chrome fuel door or roof marker lights. But they are working out an installation deal with the OEM lights and a local GM certified installer so he said I could get them.
4. The cargo area could be a bit longer.
5. Only 1 cup holder pulls out from between the rear seats (wtf?)??? Instant source of an argument from the kids.


As you can see, most of my cons are "early purchase" related. To be honest, I would have placed the order for it today if they system would accept a slate blue order. I liked it a lot and will be getting one when the blue becomes available.
