Why would they bother upgrading the front axle if it's going to be an onroad bling model.... eh????? The axle they have now wouldn't break if it were a street mochine.
So, the plot thickens. I for one, particularly after the last round, find F5 to have a devious, confounding mischievious streak in him that's only satiated by pulling our chains. Are we having fun yet?  |
On the V8, in the early posts, I never said yes or no;
I could not say so if you call that divertion, cool. Most who know me well, will agree that I am mischievious and devious, however, please read the following. There is some confusion over my what is an adventure series and what is an off-road suspension package on a lux model.
As for the adventure series, let me explain what I was trying to say, so you might understand a bit better.
Hummer currently sells four different basic packages (not counting additional bling, sunroofs, radios, etc.)
1. Base H3
2. Adventure series, which is a base H3 with the additional rear locker, 4:1 t/case, larger tires and stiffer shocks
3. Luxury package (leather, different radio, power seats, etc.) With a Luxury package, you can purchase an off-road suspension package which give you what the adventure model gives you (rear locker, 4:1 diff, tires, etc.)
4. H3x (bling model)
What I said earlier was, "I believe, but again not sure (I'm not in marketing, advertising or finance), that there will be no adventure series with a V8." I did not say you could not obtain the off-road suspension package in an Alpha, in fact the ad states you can.
However, I believe whether or not you get the off-road package, you will always get the cast iron front axle with the Alpha (V8 model).
AGAIN TO ALL, I SAY "NOT SURE." It is just a feeling I have and the knowledge how GM sometimes prices options and packages. In addition, I believe it will be a BIG MISTAKE, if GM does NOT produce an adventure model with the V8 option.
