Hummer has an incredible deal on 2005 Hummer H2s right now until the end of the month.
$599 lease (+tax) for 36 months, 36,000 miles, through GMAC. $1275 due at signing. Applies to Hummer H2, with Luxury package. I ran the numbers and this is what it basically comes down to... Sticker is$56,900... Car comes down to about $2.5K less than invoice after rebates (about $49K) 60% residual value (which is really phenomenal) Money factor equivalent to 3.9% With the money you save, you can spend on GAS!!!! |

We have a Suburban now and love it... same as the Yukon. We have had Zero problems since new and it hauls a shitload of stuff around, including a 20' fishing boat.
You wanna spend $65K on an Escalade that is just a rebadged overpriced Suburban? Or better yet, $115K on the H1 that you can't park anywhere? Yes the H1 is an incredible vehicle, but not at $115K. The H2 can do A LOT more than a Yukon or Suburban can. It is especially good at chugging gas. They don't even post the MPG on the window sticker. It's rated as a Class 3 vehicle. My neighbor's gets about 12 mpg on the highway. Our Suburban gets about 15. I looked at the new Jeep Cherokee yesterday at the Central Florida Auto Show and laughed. It is couple inches shorter than the older Cherokees. I walked right by it looking for it in the Jeep area. I thought it was some sort of transitional SUV. |

Hey Qarl,
Take the Titan for a ride! Infact tell the dealer You need to run an errand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Hook up your boat and tow it around for a while. But be sure it's secured well or the torque of the Mighty Titan will whip that trailer out from under that boat like a table cloth from under the dishes in a magic trick! Come to think of it, the Titan motor (305 HP) would make one hot 914 conversion! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Fit and finish are top notch for a truck. Everything feels very high quality, and stout. Serious bottom-end grunt + 4-cam top-end screamage. The traction-control is amazing (played with it in sand - it works better than you think possible). Handles and rides nicer than my wife's Honda. Lots of neat features. Ugly, but hey, we're talking about H2's so, what's ugly in this context anyway? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) -Ben M. |

I guess an H1 may cost 115 new, but just look on autotrader, they can be had for 60K or less all day long for low milage ones...
Sorry, but I agree with the others, 56K for a yukon with a shitty body kit is a joke, for that kinda money I am buying a King ranch edition F350 that can pull your house down and get 15-18mpg while doing it...not to mention the sweet king ranch leather couches that you are sitting on... The H2 is the biggest poser vehical to come out, and I think will be only passed by the H3 that I hear is coming out and will be based on the blazer platform...woohoo... I can't wait till the H3 and the X3 drive-with-cell-phone-while-watching-the-in-dash-dvd-and-weave-in-and-out-of-traffic contests begin on I-35...

Hmm... The Kingranch is a pickup truck... with larger cab.... not an SUV'
It has kick-ass leather seats though... I sat in one at the auto show. I didn't care much for the stoopid-ass six-inch "King Ranch" plaque on the side of the vehicle. |

I was really impressed with the Sequoia from Toyota. It's based on the Tundra platform I believe.

Yeah...the king ranch does have a bed...but I believe that both the yukon and surburban share the chevy truck frame, so they are all "trucks"... but I get what you are saying...personally I would have no use for a vehicle that big that didn't have a bed also, and I would bet that the crew cab pickup holds almost as many as the H2...
Regardless, I agree, the big ass badge on the side was a little much... Tony |

Well.... all I can say is that my wife deserves it!
It's her vehicle and she uses it to be SuperMom. We don't go offroad, and I only tow a small boat short distances. Basically it's a large SUV for the wifey. Attached image(s)

Karl I figured that with a Lotus in one garage you might want another limey rig in the other garage, ALA Range Rover.

We looked at the Range Rovers... the one we liked was the $$$$$$ one.
The other's we didn't care for. We know a few people that have had tremendous issues with theirs (especially the brakes). Regards, Qarl KMEINIGOTTOOMANYFRIGGINCARS |

No. Phoenix gas for premium is ~$2.25/gal. I seriously doubt if H2's will be holding a 60% residual value in the next two years (or any of our other gas guzzlers.

60% residual was determined by GMAC after 3 years. I'm not obligated to buy it for that. My wife usually trades for something new by then anyways. If it's worth 40%, I just return it. It's their loss, not mine. It just helped me a lot in the lease.
Despite all of the recent gas price hikes, our local dealer is stull pushing 50 to 60 H2s per month! The other good new is that I can stick regular grade gas in it, vs. mid-grade or premium. Our dealer recommended mid-grade on the Suburban. I average 15 mpg highway in it. Mid-grade is $2.09 here. Equals $0.1393 per mile The H2 averages 12 mpg highway. Regular is about $1.95 here. Equals $0.1625 per mile. Wifey averages 10,000 miles per year, so the extra consumption totals $232 per year to operate the Hummer. It's not as bad as I thought. Believe me, I played around with all of the figures! |
