What kills me is many on this thread were naysayers a few weeks ago, now, because someone sees a piece of paper it is all real.

As for will I ever purchase a V8? Not really sure, but I can say this, unless Hummer comes out with some new colors next year, I will be jumping to the Jeep forum.

Dude, drink a cold one wouldja? You'd SERIOUSLY wouldn't buy a Hummer because of color choices?!? Sounds like something a chick would say: "I like the Vikings because they wear purple" (just yankin' your chain) Yellow's my choice but if it's not available, I don't give a frickin' rip if they're tittty pink, I'm gettin' a machine with a real engine in it, not some parts bin marginalization that leaves me wanting more. The jeep certainly doesn't fill that bill, nothing else does except for the Dodge Powerwagon and it's big, it drinks gas as bad as an H2, and well, it's a Dodge. We'd have an H2 but for the mileage thing and an H2 just doesn't make sense for what we need it for (we already have a Denali)

I'm sorry you're so cynical about the papers. This is the sales manager at the Hummer dealership. He's a good guy, I know him pretty well by now. Every time I've called or stopped by and asked about the V8, he's said "Not yet" "No word yet" "It's a rumor" He's been very much on the up and up with me and he was very excited to see me to tell me about this. He's not the kind of guy that wants to look foolish, so I believe him.

What's your motivation for being such a nay sayer guy? Is the V8 just something you abhor? Is it that you don't want it to happen? You don't believe it is true? Or maybe you think the early news of the V8 coming out will harm current sales and make people want to put off buying an H3 until the V8 comes out?

Yup, I like the hope thing. It makes my day to live hopefully. I buy three lottery tickets every week too. I think my odds of driving a V8 H3 will occur long before I win the lottery.

he's not cynical of the papers..he's cynical of the people who now believe its coming, when most people on this board have known it IS coming for a looooong time, and have been hinting at it...

[timgco]

.... and soooooooooo many people have been making STATEMENTS that it is coming and it will be a six door selectable deisel to gas to steam engine.

My dealer (and other dealers) have been saying "it's coming in, June, July, Aug.....blah bliggity blahhhhhhh) GREAT! At some point we'll see something!!

I think the point that F5 is making is that there are only one or two people on this board that know for sure (and have factual first hand info.)
....and laugh at all the non-factual comments that may or may not be steering people in the wrong dirrection. ?? ??

At least that's my take on it!

My point earlier in this thread was we weren't getting diddly from this forum on the upcoming V8, so I spit it out when I heard it from somebody reputable at the dealership.

If I make a decision on a vehicle purchase because of the color it is my decision NOT YOURS, and I could care less what you think. The new colors are not exciting to me; however, after I actually seem them on a H3, I might change my mind. However, right now, Hummer offers NO colors that I like other than white, and I already have white.
Read the threads, I am only a naysayer because you say you saw it, and yet all you have seen is a piece of paper. A piece of paper, unless it is your order, means squat.
Only thing I will agree with is the odds of a V8 coming out is better than the odds given in most lottos.

alright stop shoving it in... that was the color i wanted ever since the car came out and i was like "when i get my license im going to get a green h3" come time for me to finally order it they told me they no longer made the color, but since i loved the car i went witht he next best color slate blue!

[Huck BB62]

I love it. "I could care less what you think... but here's what I think of what you sad over and over and over again!!!!" Ad nauseum. Quite amusing.

Once more, with emphasis. This thread was not about what I think or what I saw. This thread is about what this sales manager, that until this week was MORE cynical than anyone on this forum is about a V8 coming out, KNOWS about it coming out. That's all, sum total, period.

My reaction to his enthusiasm is that after hearing him put the kabosh on the V8 hope for so long, I believe him. I believe him more than anyone here. All I can say to the folks that don't want to think it's coming for the '08 model year is why, for the love of Pete, are you so adamant about this? Were you the kind of kid that when your buddy said "The ice cream man is coming, the ice cream man is coming" you said "Nuh uh"? Only to miss out on the joy of anticipation of a treat because you didn't have time to go harange ma for a quarter?

F5, I really appreciate your postings, they've helped a lot of people on here more than any service manager that I've met. I think you're wrong on this one. I think Hummer's in for another good year of sales because maybe they're listening. No, you can't order one now, and that's not what I said.

Hope, it's the good stuff. I can't wait to drive my pink H3 Alpha!

[quote=Huck BB62]This is not hearsay, I saw it with my own eyes. I took old yeller down to the dealer for the rear end again and the sales manager showed me the papers sent to them by Hummer. No pricing yet but come September, there we will own one of the first V8s.quote]

I saw the same thing at my dealer! maybe..

Papers? Just screwing with you, but papers mean nothing. It fifteen minutes on Word, I can make anything look official.

If I get another Hummer H3, I doubt it will be the V8 and that is ALL I will say on this subject till next month.

.....V8, next month.....

So perhaps V8=H3T=NY-Auto-Show=Fstop no likey the H3T.

Or maybe he sees no logical reason to "upgrade" to the V8.

Or maybe hes saying he wont buy a V8 in and "h3" because the V8 is going to be in the H3T

[lamric]

GM is supposed to be introducing 7 new vehicles at the NY Auto Show next month... I haven't seen a list of these yet and am hoping one will be a new or upgraded Hummer.
