I really don't buy that any dealer could/would/can carry Hummers. Hummer is going to great lenghts to market to a specific segment. This segment does not buy Pontiac, Saturn but will buy from Caddy, GMC, Chevy. If you saw or see H2's at dealers other than Caddy or a Platinum Chevy/GMC dealer it is because GM didn't have an outlet in the area so they gave a dealer limited rights to sell Hummers. They are probably getting a feel for sales in the area i.e. Cape Cod. If the vehicle really pops they might consider a true Hummer dealership but given that Ford is the only dealer I see here in Chatham (Cape) and its limited size I doubt that a Hummer dealer is in the works. So I think GM is just working with what they have but don't plan on seeing H2's at Pontiac dealers for long and don't think that they can just trade out vehicles either. It is very expensive and time consuming for them to do so and I expect there is some other reason why these dealers have the vehicles.

Which dealer did you pick up from in Southern California? What kind of deal did you get?
Thanks,

We are probably within a mile or two of each other - that's pretty funny!
Can you give me the email address of your salesperson...it wouldn't hurt to get another quote.
Yes - Puritan Pontiac. A friend of mine knows the owner and he had indicated that they love selling them as they can get a pretty good price for them.
How long does it take you to get to Norwood? We need a dealer here...this over-the-bridge-stuff has got to go!

This vehicle is here WITHOUT the knowledge or permission of Hummer.
However, the dealer (according to Hummer) does not need their permission to sell it as new. They are free to trade with other dealers for any cars they want...the warranty is good no matter what they do.
As the dealerships are privately owned, it is possible that they are testing the waters. It is more likely that they are looking to make some money.
