Like I said, the H1 has done it's job. However, they cannot sell that many H1s any more since there are only so many people that can afford it. But, now that it is popular and there are many wannabees lining up to get one and they have the H2 and the H3 that the wannabees can afford, why keep building the H1?

I completely understand the logic behind the decision. It makes perfect business sense to phase it out, and I am not questioning that aspect of it.
It's just that the purist in me hates to see the original fade away, in favor of a lame, horribly inferior imitation. That's all.
