I bought a H3 Tactical Edition yesterday, though my original intent had been to order a 2008 Alpha.

The problem is the price. You can order an Alpha from the factory today with a September delivery date, but they still don't have final pricing.

Most of the auto rags have estimated the Alpha to base out at around 38-40K, BUT my dealer has been talking with GM and other dealers, and it looks like the REAL price is going to be near 50K! In my humble opinion, the addition of a V8 and Auto tranny does NOT warrant a $12-15K price tag.

I'll just be happy with my '07 Tactical for a couple of years, though acceleration ain't pretty.

I'm not sure if I'll be getting the Alpha now that I keep hearing how expensive it's gonna be. I priced an 07 with the options I wanted and the sticker was around 35. Bumping that up at least another 5 grand just for the horsepower this thing should have had from the start? Hhmmmm.

That figure sounds way too high; especially since the auto trans is not unique to the V8

My dealer told me the price on a fully loaded Alpha would be around $46K.

If they start at 30K that would be great, but I'm really pissed that there is no green.

If that's the case, you might as well just spring for an H2 as the price difference isent that much.

That to me sounds about right.

So, is 46K too much for a fully loaded Alpha compared to 57K for a base H2?

The H2 has a nicer interior, more room, but yet the gas mileage sucks so bad that is the only real down side.

Get it for less than 25k, only gave 28 for the new 07 I got today sticker was $35,500.
Adventure w/ grille guard, boards,tow and wiring,auto, rubber floor mats and it seems like something else.

Told them to let me know when the alphas start coming in but have to keep this one 6 months.

Yup, I'm exactly one of those. I want one, lobbied for the V8, and ranted for it, but will wait until they have incentives etc. I'm not about to pay that much for it, it's simply not worth that much. If offroad isn't your primary focus (I ride my quad for that) you can go down and get a frickin' LTZ Silverado Z-71 for that kind of money. That's pretty much what happened to the H1 Alpha. People realized that for half the price, you could get a fully loaded Dmax crewcab. Granted, you wouldn't be driving a Hummer, but still, unless someone's silly rich, shopping's to be done and comparisons are to be made.

Wait 6 -9 months and gas at or near $4.00/gallon, then we will see incentives.
