Hmmmm...there was just an article published yesterday that said GM was going to increase production on the H3. Was that hype to inspire people?

Its all about the spin, on this side of the country, gas is still expensive, however, a little cheaper in other parts, I would gamble on them being exported soon to other countries as they won't sell here, I work in the Santa ana auto mall and I see a whole lot of used trucks and SUV's on the VW, kia and honda lots, people are dumping these things like crazy

:eek:

Yet, I'm not suprised either, what with GM's management that brought them where they are today ...

-- Kane ... if they only kept with the B-body. Full size, RWD, high hp, and economical for a V8 (17/26). Now look at how Chrysler 300 & variants are doing ...

If you have a used Civic, now is the time to sell it. People are freaking out over gas prices. We've passed the point of apathy.

What are they running down there?
Up here, I haven't heard anyone complaining any more than usual.
We're in the $2.35-$2.40 range for regular.

I've seen lots like that in Carlsbad, but never with that many of one vehicle.

I am all for using this as leverage to get a nice SUV.

hey just so you guys know I printed the pix of all the Hummers on here, and my friend took it to the Chevy dealer. He got a K I L L E R DEAL on his Hummer! Almost 7 grand off sticker price.
lol he's happy as shit now cause he got it cheap and is only going to use it when it rains, long trips, and 4x4....He can't get that stupid grin off his face....

Did he get an H2 or an H3?

Oh. He got a H2. He said which we agree the H3 "is a jeep".

There's a reason why I was able to sell my Insight for $2000 over bluebook in mid-September. I made a profit on it after buying it from a dealer and throwing 12,000 miles on it.
