Default Has anyone noticed that there are a lot of Hummers (H2) on the road?

For a new car, I find that very strange.
They must be selling like hotcakes.
I witnessed 12 H2's in one day!!!!! Most of them were yellow.

Although the TT is a lot more popular these days,
I've never encountered that many on the road in one day.

The same goes for the new Z. I see maybe 1 or 2 a month.

The H2 is ridiculous. Are they inexpensive?
I'm not into boxy cars or trucks so I wouldn't know.

Default They are inexpensive compared to H1's. The H2 is about $52K, half the price of an H1.

The H2 in fact shares several mechanical components, and almost all the interior, with the Cadillac Escalade. GM is trying to corner the high end SUv market, I guess.

Default Most of them were yellow...

Saw a white one and a couple of black H2's. No other colors.
I do a lot of commuting but still...that's a whole lot fo Hummers to see in one day.

I must have been in a twilight zone that day. :-)
