That's how I got started. Rep. named Toby. I'm in north Florida and ended up getting the order in in south Fl. As of a few of days ago, we have a new dealer here in Jacksonville. Same dealer I bought 3 vehicles from in the last five years.
They don't expect one in for about 3 weeks. A friend who sells there, didn't even know they were going to be a dealer last month. They have orders for a least 20 already.
My order down state will be in before they get any on the floor.
I'll contact him in the am.

Hummer executives say the H2 sport utility truck likely will make its debut in late 2004 as a 2005 model. It will feature a 36-inch bed and a unique power window that rolls down automatically into the midgate at the touch of a switch on the overhead console. This midgate -- a kind of tailgate located in the middle of the truck, separating the bed from the passenger area -- is patterned after a traditional station wagon tailgate. The power switch that lowers the midgate window can also lower the four side windows simultaneously. The H2 will be the second vehicle in the Hummer series since GM began its partnership in 1999 with Hummer's parent, AM General, the Indiana military vehiclemanufacturer.
GM executives say the H3 -- which will be built on the all-new, Isuzu-engineered Chevrolet Colorado platform -- likely will cost about $30,000. The main concern as GM makes its business case for building the H3 is whether a more affordable Hummer can deliver the performance expectations of Hummer consumers. The Hummer H3 is expected to be built at GM's Shreveport, La., plant, which currently turns out the GMC Sonoma and Chevrolet S10 pickups.
Also, GM/Hummer is in negotiations with an unnamed, upscale retailer to develop and market a small gas-powered vehicle about the size of a
golf cart and priced around $20,000. So far, nobody's called it the H4.
I was so disappointed! I now know what it is like for kids too short to ride the really good roller coasters! I will continue to hound the Hummer guys until the come up with a way of lowering the seat about three inches closer to the floor.
I recommend that those that are new to this discussion thread to start at the begining; many a good conversation were had in regards to performance expectations. Always interesting to see how speculation lives up to reality!

I guess I'll find out this week.

So now you have a Hummer in the garage for the slickrock, a Rover for the skinny stuff in the woods, and a topless Wrangler for the sand. Why not? Bet lots of folks have mountain bikes and 10-speeds in their garages too.

I can't wait for the first update!
In my neighborhood this morning, saw the H2 and all I can is WOW!! It was an orange/copperish color. Looked great and intimidating!! I love the styling of it. not your everyday SUV!

The only thing left is a Hummer herse.
has a clip of the H2 on the new dealership test track. If you have dial-up, plan on waiting, it took me over 3 hrs to download it @48k, probably closer to 4. Nothing too extreme, but still pretty cool.
Also... how were two pictures taken of the Hummer sittng on the Probe, unless... ??
It doesn't add up. Who is stroking whose own ego with those pictures and the "article"?
Too bad he didn't buy a pair of them! (gotta get my thinly-veiled digs in where I can)

The nest day I filled the gas tank and my gas mileage average out to 13mpg. A couple of times I got up to 70mph, but stayed around 50-55mph for most of the trip.
I do plan on changing a few things, and somethings I wish I could change.
I will change the shocks for some a with a little more rebound damping.
The suspension does seem a little to mushy at times. I may tighten the torsion bars just a little.
I wish I had the air suspension. I may never need it, but it would be nice to have if needed.
I didn't get the sunroof and sometimes have second thoughts. The last sunroof I had leaked after a few years in the sun.
I got 600 miles on the H2 now. I'm just getting used to this thing. I've been driving a 01 Z06 for the past to years and I just got to remember what I'm driving at the time. My wife reminds me, "you're NOT in the Vette". I am surprised of how good H2 corners. It's not a sports car, but not as bad as I expected either.
One thing a can say, my Z06 has never got the attention this thing gets. The vette would have to be on fire in a busy intersection during rush to get the attention the H2 gets. No hiding now.
It's new now, so we'll see how it goes. I may hate this thing in six months. Who knows.
Does anyone know if the Hypertech Power Programmer that worked on the 2002 Denali will work on the H2? The improvements on the Denali with the programmer is not very noticable, so I thought I would try it on the Hummer.

Below are stories Hummer (original, not H2) owners posted. I thought they're pretty funny and would share them.
How many of you have had accidents happen right around your Hummer? I have had 2 happen directly behind me in the past 3 months. Both occurred
when the oncoming car turned left behind me and was struck by the vehicle following me. I think they are looking at the Hummer, and not paying attention to the road.
I've had two accidents happen in the lane to my left during moderately heavy traffic. Traffic would start moving, driver next to me would gawk at the hummer, traffic would stop, driver next to me would continue staring at my hummer while he plowed into the car in front of them.
I know for a fact that an Accident has happened while someone was checking out the Humvee's, we had two of them at a Car wash and the Police
officer came over and asked how long we had been there because the guy said he was looking at the hummers and ran into the back of a parked car on the side street.
So, the tire will stay in my garage most of the time...along with the stupid back seat.

Don't know if the link will work.
I will remove the spare to the garage when I need the extra space too.
My ZO6 doesn't have a spare at all. Just the fix-a-flat and an air pump. I've taken 600mi trips hoping the tires wouldn't find someone's lost screwdriver. Small holes should seal ok.
