This took me by surprise when I read it. I've seen an amazing number of H2s around here lately, so I looked up how they were doing. Seems extremely well!

In the month of September:
Hummer H2 sold 2,974 total.
Lincoln Navigator sold 2,863.
Escalade: 2,755

Guess some of our predictions about this $50,000 SUV were way off!

I'm not a huge SUV fan, though I do not despise them....

But, I gotta tell you, I like H2s a lot... I bet they'd be a blast to play around with!

 

Considering that Hummer has a limited number of dealers, these sales results are amazing. I hope that the decent sales motivate GM to proceed with the H4 as a Jeep Wrangler competitor. I've had just about enough of "soft-roaders" as opposed to real off-roaders.

 

I also see a lot of them on the road. They look pretty cool.

 

Yeah, these things are everywhere all of the sudden.

I see a couple every day on the way to work

 

What amazes me out of those stats is that the Navigator outsold the Escalade. If memory serves, the Slade has sold about 40,000 units YTD and the Gator 25,000. I wonder if maybe Escalade inventories are running low?

 

There is a lawyer that lives not far from me that has one.

I heard this news on Paul Harvey today. He said that most of them were sold with $5,000 worth of extra dealership added goodies. My question is, what do you add to a Hummer?

 

Or maybe H2 is getting a little of Escalade's potential customers.

 

Like rap stars and NBA players?
I have seen a lot more H2's on MTV Cribs, fewer escalades this season too

 

The H2 is sweet, not bad for having like 150 dealers. I can't beleave the Navigator out sells the Escalade now. How many EXT's did they sell

 

Here in SoCal, most of the Escalades I see are driven by older folks, not quite retired, and at least half of them women. The oddest was a lady who looked like she was in her late 40s early 50s get out of a silver one with 20 inch wheels & tinted windows. She was about as far away from the MTV crowd as you could get & still be on the same planet. When I'm up in the Hollywood Santa Monica, or Ventura area, it's a different story though. Ditto in San Francisco, so I guess it's one of those things that have mass appeal (I even gotta admit they look pretty edgy in black & chrome).

But, I don't think I've seen anyone older than me, or female, in a Hummer yet.

 

I guess some of those goodies someone mentioned earlier would be the grill in front, etc. chrome wheels, and the brush guard, i know that a lot of the ones we see seem to have extra stuff though when you look at them on the road it's hard to point out what they are.. those are a few i have noticed...

 

I've seen four H2's in one day just running errands (yesterday, in fact!). Two yellows, one black, and one grey. I know the two yellows were different because one was decked out in little stick-on and window-mounted "Houston Texans" flags. I've also noticed that there's a Pontiac dealership out I-45, if I recall correctly, that has a small fleet of H2's parked out front, stickers and all. Surely others are doing the same.

 

I saw a Sunset Orange Metallic H2 one on the way to the office today....

 

Its not big enough for my taste. I think it could stand to be a few feet higher, longer, and fatter.
