Re: Drove the 08-Rant
So far in my car/truck buying experience, the BMW salesmen are the more educated about their fleet. They attend a school of sorts and have to take a driving course that helps to maximize the road test when one takes a BMW for a drive. I was amazed at the knowledge this guy had about the vehicle, thus helping my overall decision to buy the car. I wish Hummer dealers followed the same path.

Re: Drove the 08-Rant
The new salesmen at the dealership by my house know less about the specs of a hummer than my wife. And I'm not talking about the hummer's i used to get before we were married!

Re: Drove the 08-Rant
Did you say turbo button?
Mom and dad have the new motor and trans in there denali and it made a huge difference. Granted a H2 is 1500-2000 lbs heavier than a denali but the hp jump and lower first gear should at least feel better.

Re: Drove the 08-Rant
The physical tranny has really not changed much. It is still the same housing and clutches. Basically a 3speed trans with Overdrive giving you 4 total gears. What they did this year was change the four gear ratios and have the Overdrive no work with gears 1 and 2 for the 2008 Model. In previous models overdrive would only work in unison with 3rd gear. Over all what they have done is help keep the engine in its power curve.

Re: Drove the 08-Rant
Seriously guys, im sure most of us when going to buy a car/truck, know more than the salesman! Salesman are salesman....they want to sell, and, as unfortunate as it may be, the top salesman dont really need to know about the product much.
A good salesman could sell somthing they know nothing about.
Is it a good thing its that way, DEFINATLY NOT. But thats kinda the way it is in a lot of industries.
