Car n Drivah! Alpha First Drive

I'll check my mailbox for the new C&D.

Yea in this era of rocket SUV's (Hemi Jeeps, RR Sport S/C, ML550's, Infiniti 45's, Rav4 V6's, Cayene Turbo's, etc.), there are faster SUV's, but none have the offroad ability of a Hummer. Sounds like the H3 Alpha and new H2 are plenty quick.

They bitched about it being underpowerd with the I5 and now with a V8 they say "And then there?s that pesky fuel consumption problem."

Does anyone know the MPG for the Alpha. It will make me feel better about my 15 mpg.

CAR and driver.. should not be reviewing an on/off road SUV. They are always ONLY concerned about one thing.. 0-60 times.. I mean most of the first paragraph is ONLY about 0-60 times.. give it a break! It's not a sports CAR, it's an SUV, test it for what it is meant to do. I'm glad I don't subscribe to that ****ty magazine.
