I keep seeing posts where people are saying that the H3 is just a Colorado. When I went to test drive the H3 the dealer gave some info about this. He said 9% of the H3 parts are shared with the Colorado, and most of the 9% is the engine. The frame, while starting life as a Colorado, has been changed substantially. Apparently the Colorado frame has a "C" shaped cross section, but on the H3 the frame is fully boxed, and it has additional crossmembers added. I can't vouch for the accruacy of this info - perhaps someone else here can - but this in my mind makes any statements about the H3 being "a Colorado with different sheet metal", very inaccurate.
