Re: How many will be trading in their 5 cylinder H3's for an Alpha?
No actual price, the 2K over lux is my guess on how it will be sold.
I believe, but again not sure (I'm not in marketing, advertising or finance), that there will be no adventure series with a V8. I believe this would be a BIG mistake, since a person could then get a V8 at around 35K. Ideal for those who don't want to purchase leather or all the other Lux goodies.
I don't believe there will be that many that jump in the overall H3 market. Remember, this forum is a very small percentage of actual H3 owners.
Personally, I may look at one next spring, but until then, I'm sticking with a proven workhorse. It has been very reliable, and so far, the only damn color I like except for Desert Orange and that is only on the Blink model till next year.

I sure hope they offer the Adventure with a V-8 engine option (without the bling).
Plenty of Adventure owners tow trailers on and off road and would welcome the V8.

Re: How many will be trading in their 5 cylinder H3's for an Alpha?
I agree with both of you guys; a V8 adventure should be made available, and if not; Hummer marketing is blowing some sales down the street. If there is NO V8 adventure available, I will immediately put in a suggestion, all the way to the top. (In other words, bypass marketing and go for the big dog.)

 Don't want the bling package, and wouldn't take care of the leather. Funny story, my dealer called me today with questions about the H3 (what was due for '08 and what could be done aftermarket) since I always know more about them than they do  thanks everyone here on the forum for keeping me informed

It's probably not personal eugene, F5 knows things, he helps lots of people around here. Relax, just don't mess with F5.

Re: How many will be trading in their 5 cylinder H3's for an Alpha?
I tow a lot, and wish I could tow more (like my Scout!)
I'll be up for the V8, but in no hurry to take the $$ hit.
Bebe, play nice.

You echoed something that I said in jest. You sounded serious. I told you to shut it.
And for the record I never start up trouble. |

Dude, you need to go back and read all the forums that F5 has posted, he is the most helpful one here. He knows alot more than most of us will ever know.
Might also want to listen to Hummbebe, she will take ya out. She has her ways. She has people!

Re: How many will be trading in their 5 cylinder H3's for an Alpha?
I do lots of driving, over 26000 in the first year. I have no desire to trade. I guess if I had mone to burn I might toss one in my garage but I am please with the 5, even off road it does well, it groans and grunts but gets the jobs.

Re: How many will be trading in their 5 cylinder H3's for an Alpha?
I'm going to keep my 06. have made alot of improvements to it, mostly electronics, and its grown on me, my first, very own, vehicle ever. I like it the way it is rite now so im keeping it. But I am planning on getting the Alpha also. That would mostly be for when towing or drving on roads where more power may be better (mountains, etc.). I will wait for the 09 Alpha, that way they can take care of all the little problems that come with a first year vehicle (not really but its got quite a bit of improvements), like they did with the 07 H3. Maybe they'll decide to add .2 L to the 09 Alpha and make it a 5.5L. |

Re: How many will be trading in their 5 cylinder H3's for an Alpha?
I've been told (and F5 cleverly tried to divert us from the truth, he should either play poker or write novels) that it WILL be an Adventure. At the least it will have the 4:1 tcase, 33s, and a rear locker, call it what you want.
Why would they bother upgrading the front axle if it's going to be an onroad bling model.... eh????? The axle they have now wouldn't break if it were a street mochine.
So, the plot thickens. I for one, particularly after the last round, find F5 to have a devious, confounding mischievious streak in him that's only satiated by pulling our chains. Are we having fun yet?
