I've been giving the H3 Alpha some deep consideration.

I am loving my new H2, but if they slap that V8 in it, I may reconsider in a year or two.

Crash, my guess would be that by 09 you will see them all over used, on lots, auctions, just like any other vehicle. Sadly, the H3 with the i5 that everyone is buying now is the one I would expect to see most often traded in. That was the ONLY reason I dumped mine.

I bet by 09 the V8 will be the only engine option for the H3.

Well, pedictions are for gasoline to be $3 an hour this summer and by 09...???

Hope there is a direct injected turbo V-6 diesel in GM's near future......

They could use the cylinder deactivation feature like in my Tahoe.

SPUDS,

I guess no one told you I'm the only one allowed to use BOLD BLUE...

You see I'm old, grumpy and don't see or hear well,

and well they let me get away with it. I'm afraid that if you use it they may get us confused.

Could you switch to a purple or something?

THANKS

hmmm, I really like this blue. I think I'll start posting in this color too. Besides, I doubt anyone will confuse me with Wilford Brimley...

Dude, that had to have taken forever to do. Well worth it pick on the older...ummm...more experienced members of the forum.

Well, those aren't predictions, we've been paying over $3.00 since late Jan. Time to throw out that crystal ball.

No kiddin' Hummbebe. Maybe it's time to dig out the magic 8 ball instead!?!

I was behind this guy in a Ford Superduty gasser. He was there forever. I had time to go in, order a sandwich, buy a lottery ticket, and peruse the 4wd mags. He dropped in a clean $100 and didn't even fill it up!

Our little mideastern gas store owners had to import another relative just to change the sign fast enough to keep up with the shenanigans their cousins are causin'!

I few years ago I was on the haul road in Alaska (the road headed up to the north slope) - there's only one tiny gas station - gas was $5/gallon. My Suburban was a 40 gal tank, luckily only had to fill it about halfway, but OUCH! Thankfully we don't like there or in England!

My father-in-law drove that road for years up until recently. His big rig looked like a space ship. He'd pull that sucker in the shop in Fairbanks, turn on the oil heaters and sump pump and go home. He'd come to work the next day and service it after the hundreds of gallons of ice would melt off it. His HID lighting system was simply amazing. Yeah, he's a man's man. I have no idea how someone could drive thousands and thousands of miles in whiteout conditions for the years like he did.

They sell gas by the hour where you live? How does that work?

Really, what a great idea.... (NOTE: 5.3L is set up for displacement on demand, aka, active fuel management.)

Not for an H3 in this market....but who knows.

[HummBebe]

Where do we place our bets?

Btw, that duck looks like a peeps. Yum.
