Re: 2008 H3 (non-Alpha)
Me Too, Me too... I am thinking I would rather build up the I5 the way I want to (avoiding the bling and auto trans.) and use the extra money for goodies. Any one have info on any changes to the base yet, color bla bla bla

Re: 2008 H3 (non-Alpha)
My thoughts exactly! I agree the V8 and the Alpha would be nicer, but I am curious about costs, both direct and indirect, like fuel consumption and the like! Plus I am not too keen on being a beta tester for GM!!

Re: 2008 H3 (non-Alpha)
Main difference will be the significant price difference, not the gas mileage. And only the auto tranny will be available with the V8.

Re: 2008 H3 (non-Alpha)
You won't be beta testing the engine, it has been out there for a while. The Alpha has been tested now for over two years. Last thing I would worry about is the reliability and durability of the engine. I would worry about the pricing though. 
As for the changes, from what I have seen and read, there is very little except for the Alpha package and you know what changes that encompasses.

Re: 2008 H3 (non-Alpha)
Some more changes...
-You'll be able to get a power driver's seat in base and adventure models
-Monsoon will now be standard in adventure package
-Chrome Appearance standard on Alphas (I'm not thrilled)
-Alpha can combine w/ ZM6 (off-road suspension pack, essentially adventure pack) and H3x package, but not both. Yes, you can have an Alpha H3x - expensive!
- All new 08 H3s GVWR will be 6001 lbs (good for tax time)
- Rearview camera system optional on all H3s that have trailer package

No problem about the beta testing! You know though the first version isn't always the best!! 
I am a bit worried about the pricing!
