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

its the same in my area. not 15 H3s per H2, but at least 5. And they sell at a rate of ~10-20 times as many per month, depending on the month, according to the local dealer.

But thats probably normal in any case.

in may they sold 4100 Escalades and 13,100 Tahoes, and (i could be wrong) i don't think the comparably equipped price-difference is as much as an H2 -vs- H3. that's 3.3 times as many at a lower price point.

they sold 1456 H2s in May of '06 and 3952 H3s, or about 2.5 times. so the H2 sales look pretty fair in that light. and 1456/month = ~17-18,000/year = probably not that far off of GMs expectations for a vehicle they thought they could sell 25,000/yr of initially

just some thoughts

My figures come directly from the GM Newsline that is sent to employees and newspapers the first day of each month.
