Here in France, where I Live, the H3 cost abt 61k€ ( add abt. 30% to convert in US$).
furthermore the H2 cost abt. 98k€ and the H1 150K€.
I just bought a H3 last week and I learned that we are only about 85 owners in all France!
no wonder!!
I don't really understand GM pricing strategy.
by the way, petrol cost here 1.4 € PER LITER!

bonjour,
je suis agréablement surpris de trouver un francophone!
non, je n'ai pas encore pris de photos, mais je vais le faire.
savez vous comment les integrer car je n'en ai pas la moindre idée.

A company formed between a Chinese (manufacturer I can't think of their name) in partnership with Renault (France) and Rover (British) to build the new MG here in Oklahoma (USA)..how cool is that?

What I do know, however, is that there are serious talks in between G.M and Renault/ Nissan (Nissan being Renault japanese branch since a few years) for them to acquire a significant part of GM shares.
what about an half american half franco-japanese HUMMER !!! HOW COOL IS THAT?
american bourbon with a twist of sushi and plenty of beaujolais!

J'aime avoir l'amusement et la plaisanterie autour, ce monde est trop gâchée pendant qu'elle est sans de l'humeur… heureuse de vous avoir Ã* bord avec nous, nous a besoin d'un certains culter et classe. About the temp display..My Owner's Manual (Page 2-33), says to press the button once to change it from °F to °C and one more press turns it all off...Then one more press it comes back on with the °F again...I checked mine out just now and it does exactly that.

Thank you Dennis, but no joy!
it doesn't works on mine, I guess something' wrong.
since the car is 1200 miles and 11 days old I hope that they will just replace the damn thing
thank you anyway.
also for your info, I am doing abt 11.7 MPG, 95% city so far. quite bad indeed!
I was doing 18/19 MPG with my former MB ML 500!!
so I strongly suggest you guys not to come anyway close to here with your cars because at 1.30 € per liter you better fly first class to France and rent a Bentley with a driver ....it will be cheaper.

Well, that sucks Crepes Suzettes...I'm sure a mirror replacement will be in order.
Why did you dump the Benz? was it getting expensive to maintain?...I Had a 1992 300E from new, for 12 years and it was only in the shop for wheel alignments..and motor mounts...Loved that car.

I am not so much into crépes suzette, rather prefer a good crème brulée, apart of those gastronomics ( does this word exists?) considerations...
I dumped the Benz because I was willing to change for the new model and I did'nt liked it at all. This new thing about the gear box ( 7 gears) is awfull in the city, you just spend your time going from second to third and back again!! furthermore the new interior is far too much for this type of car so...I bought the H3
abt 99% of my friends consider me totally nuts and the remaining 1%... doesn't speak to me anymore ( not to mention my wife) only the kids are delighted... and me.
by the way I found the solution abt the mirror, in fact you have to wait abt. 5 seconds till the °F starts flashing and then you depress the on/off button once again to change to °C.
So much for the very clear explanation in the GM booklet!
do you know some good web site where I can buy accessories for the HUMMER because in France, forget it. GM has NOTHING.
and by the way, I also have JAGUAR, an XJR 2004 black/black WR prepared (510 hp) so we have at least two things in common.

Well perhaps your friends and the 1%, feel like you have turned American, as the HUMMER is the Number 1 American icon for SUVs....Besides, they are probably just jealous of you...Your kids seem like they have the good sense to appreciate a hell of a nice vehicle
PS..You must post some pictures of your Jag
