Has anyone switched from the H2 to the H3?

Do the H3's have all the basic engine mods such as a K&N intake, etc?

Do other H3's owners do "the wave" like some H2 people?

On another note:
I was talking to a guy at the H dealer the other day and we discussed the rumor of a V8 and pickup truck H3. He pointed out that by the time you drop a V8 in an H3 its going to get the same mpg as a Suburban so whats the point, interesting thought. The other interesting point was about the pickup truck rumor. He says GM is struggling because they dont think people will want to pay $30k+ for a pickup when you can go get a basic Ford or Chevy for under $20k.

The used H3 market is real good for selers now cauze its in demand and not too much supply, but that will all change soon, donno how soon.

There are alot of engine mods for the H3, well not alot but some. You have intakes, exhausts, pcm, and im probably missing something else.

There wa a thread on the wave thing. Some do it. I personally dont, i dont see the point of waving to a omplete stranger soley based on teh fact that you drive the same car, what the hell does that mean, thats probably the only thing you have in common.

The are rumors of of a V8, and an H3T, and maybe the V8 will be in the Alpha, but we will see soon enough. As for the statement that fuel economy will drop if a V8 is put it I completely disagree. The mpg is not only dependent on engine size, but is mainly a factor of weight. If its an AFM V8 then there will probably be no difference at all. True the H3T might be overpriced compared to the competition, but its a HUMMER, and all hummers are overpriced compared to most of teh competition.

Just my 2 cets.
