I have heard that GM has hybrid technology via the transmition rather then external motors in each wheel. That is what they would use. but focus just on a flexfule V8 before anything else. Consider the tahoe has a 300+ hp v8 and weighs 5500lbs, what would a 4900lb H3 do with the same power.
Edit: A diesel (smaller then the 6.6) would be possible but would you rather have a Hybrid V8 that has virtually the same torque (electric motors make a lot of torque relative to HP) and more total HP? Toyota chose that route with its current lexus models. It could even be a future H3 alpha. I think that is what GM may do. just speculation.
