I've been giving the H3 Alpha some deep consideration.

[DennisAJC]

I've decided the 08 H2 is the ticket or wait for the H2 Alpha.


I must admit though, with all that power on the H3, makes it a formitable machine.

[phantom2]

You make absolutely no sense...

On the street, H3 Alpha will rule the Hummers.

Rule what? Each has its own advantage... pick your posion but 1 doesnt kill all

[NEOCON1]

"Pick your poison, each has it's own advantage" is exactly the point. The H3 Alpha might be the ultimate street sled/UAV in the Hummer lineup. The Alpha version of the H3 does little to improve it's offroad cred, assuming the cast iron diff makes it into the entire lineup of H3's H3 always had appropriate offroad gearing for it's engine setup.

I would really like to see a front locker option with a rear auto locker like in the chevy trucks.

Patience is a virtue
The electronic locker is better, you push a button and it engages, the rear locker used on the trucks does require some slippage to engage. Irregardless, don't hold your breath for this one

[bparker]

yea, thats what I was thinking - move the push buttons to the front elec locker and use the same axle they are using with the auto lockers in the trucks now.

Just dreaming

Man I sure hope all yall cats wanting that H3 get one.. Cause it's gonna flood the market with a bunch of used H3's about the time my lease is due up and it's gonna give me some great dealing power on the actual residual value on mine..

[MajorGeek]

I am sure the point he was making is that the H3 will rule in sheer numbers on the street. When I got mine, it was unique. Now, its like driving a Jeep as far as spotting one. Of course, that is the plan, I see my local dealer is adding on the Hummer specific building, when they get done, there will be a Hummer for everyone, lets just hope they dont embarass the line with a Jeep Liberty type of vehicle. I am loving my new H2, but if they slap that V8 in it, I may reconsider in a year or two.

Crash, my guess would be that by 09 you will see them all over used, on lots, auctions, just like any other vehicle. Sadly, the H3 with the i5 that everyone is buying now is the one I would expect to see most often traded in. That was the ONLY reason I dumped mine.

I bet by 09 the V8 will be the only engine option for the H3.

Well, pedictions are for gasoline to be $3 an hour this summer and by 09...???

Hope there is a direct injected turbo V-6 diesel in GM's near future......

[XM DUDE]

They could use the cylinder deactivation feature like in my Tahoe.

SPUDS,

I guess no one told you I'm the only one allowed to use BOLD BLUE...

You see I'm old, grumpy and don't see or hear well,

and well they let me get away with it. I'm afraid that if you use it they may get us confused.

Could you switch to a purple or something?

THANKS

hmmm, I really like this blue. I think I'll start posting in this color too. Besides, I doubt anyone will confuse me with Wilford Brimley...
