Re: v8 H3 in 07 or early 08
More power is what I've been waiting for to make my jump to the H3. I just can't quite take the plunge for the I5. It reminded me too much of my anemic 02 Xterra, which they finally put more power in. I'm not saying I want or need 0-60 in 5 secs. with an SUV but some decent passing/towing power isn't asking for too much.
If a Nissan Pathfinder with a 4.0L 270 hp V6 weighing just as much as an H3 can get 16/23 mpg with 0-60 in the 7s, than Hummer should be able to do better than what they have with the I5.
Granted, the H3 doesn't have the aerodynamics but at least throw something in it that can get a throaty truck sound with some aftermarket pipes!
