V-8-POWERED H3 ALPHA EXPANDS HUMMER?S RANGE OF VERSATILE SUVS

They have a nice summary artilce here at http://rockcrawler.com/

I wonder if it will have an E-85 version for the green people?
I bet they will sell like hot cakes!

[NEOCON1]

nice find

[Desert Dan]

I'd be affraid to test drive one I might like it

I doubt the V8 will have a 5-speed.
Maybe I can do an engine swap and add the cast iron diff to mineJ
This will be pretty nice though

In addition to the V-8 engine, the H3 Alpha also includes the popular ?Luxury? equipment package, the Chrome Appearance package, 16-inch chrome wheels, a 4.10 rear axle ratio and special Alpha identification, including a prominent tailgate badge, horn pad badge and embroidered front headrests with the ?Alpha? insignia.
For customers who want a more accessorized appearance straight from the factory, the Alpha model can be combined with the H3X content, which includes bright roof crossbows, chrome fuel door, a body-color grille and unique spare tire cover, tires, wheels and center cap, and a brush guard.



LOL they are already pushin the bling and lux

Nice article with lots of details including:

alum. block and head
4 speed auto (not 5 or 6)
cast iron diff
specs for Adventure pkg.

Too bad the guy on top is really a girl, just with an "addadicktome" chop. I love that site.

Well, I guess we lose the beloved 4.56 gear ratio but we still get the 4:1 tcase!

I wonder if it'll have the tow/haul mode? I really like how that works.

Again, that front frame extension thing's gotta go or get painted black! It's kinda like Karl Malden painting his nose orange.

I'll keep that in mind next time Im on top.

[wannabeH3]

are they reducing the crawl ratio from 56:1 to 50:1?

[H3.007]

I wonder if GM (read me - hey F5 - opinion?) will offer a "swap" discount for current owners who wish to upgrade to the new engine?

Would transmission and drive train components be a must change for such a swap?

[H3.007]

F5 - any realistic chance of this happening?

H3.007-you know what answer will be given (NO) of course. I think he answered that question earlier in another thread.

Here's how the real upgrade program works, just bring $15,000 minimum with you:

2007 H3 trade-in value =$30,000
2008 H3 new Alpha loaded =$45,000
Difference =$15,000 cash or credit

People like you really make me want to quit posting here.

So sorry I didn't have the time to sit around and read every thread. And besides, I asked the question here - not in another thread....

But then again, perhaps I shouldn't expect a more intelligent response from someone living in the only dedicated United State for Liberals (communists?).

By the way, you drive a H3 why?

At any rate, thanks for your brand of education - I really needed it. I'll crawl back to my heathen, uncivilized, and uneducated rock now.

Sorry you are having a bad day. I did not expect you to read every thread, just letting you know what F5 previously responded earlier (to save you the trouble of a tedious search, since somebody asked the same question earlier). Obviously the way GM is configuring and marketing the powerful and loaded Alpha version is to maximize profit, which is the only point I was making.

I didn't make any comments about you living with a bunch of stupid rednecks in some dead ex-steel mill God-forsaken town. Jeez mellow out dude.

I drive an H3 just like you. We have more in common than you might think.
