Let me guess, automatic tranny only, right? I would be curious about other changes to the drive line to compensate for the power as well, anything else you can offer up? Honestly still hoping GM sees the value in a nice turbo diesel with manual tranny, but I don't hold out too much hope.
Any word on when those window switche moves and child safety locks will hit the showrooms? My dealer still claims there is nothing in the pipeline for them, after talking to "Hummer Corporate" (what ever the hell that is).

Re: V8
I hope that we see the 6-speed gearbox, with an extremely low geared 1st.

Maybe they might put in a different front axle, probably stay with the same trans and t/case, probably never see a man trans with anything but a 5-cylinder.

Re: V8
Guess I should have made "GONE" a bit bigger. The Vette & the Trailblazer were traded for the H2, which was immediately claimed by the one and, last time I looked, only wife.

Wonder what it would take to move the switches into the new position on the older models where they're so far back? |

Re: V8
First of all, being TOO far back is subjective. At first, I felt they were too far back, but now after almost 20K miles, I have no problem with their location.
As for switching; it would require a complete new door panel and possible an extension for the existing wiring harness to reach the new switches.
