This was told to me by a salesman Monday when I was buying my H3. "GM stopped H1 production because the government ordered 180,000 HUMVEEs."

Even weirder is that American General makes the H1 and H2 and GM makes the H3

Yes, but GM puts the orders in to AMG. If AMG needs all of thier production to go to the primary customer (The US military) then GM gets put on hold. If this is seen to be the case early enough, GM can advertise the end of the line. IMO I don't think this is the case though. We aren't loosing HMMWV's any faster in the war then we were 6 months ago or two years ago. Why would they need to ramp up production all of a sudden?

And also, would 300 h1s matter in a production of 180,000.

180,000 is a large order when they are setup to make max 70 H1's on a great day.

Yes, setting up for the civilian H1 takes time off production of the military model. They are the same frame, but there are many, many other differences.

The H2 (is a great vehicle) but it is not built by AMG. It is next door to the factory that builds the H1 and military vehicles, but it is a GM factory with GM rules, regulations, and robots.

The H1 uses very few robots, the H2 uses very few people, mostly robots. Robots are not a bad thing, but it is totally different. The H2 is definitely a GM vehicle.

I always thought that H2s were made by American General (AM), while GM looked over their shoulder...

am general makes certain offroad parts for HMMWV and H1 that are also used in H2 or are similar making the h2 unique for offroad purposes than other gm suvs, but gm puts it together and furnishes it.

Was it on the outside of the box? My guess is whoever packed it re-used packaging from AMG. GM Bought the licensing rights to the Hummer name, and supplies the parts to AMG to produce the H2 in Indiana. The H3 is a totally separate plant in Louisiana where the Canyon and Colorado are also produced.
