I wish I did not know this as It makes me upset too.
sorry...

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">I -5 is made in Tonawanda, New York - btw: the Largest Engine Plant in the World!

... Grave yard NOT!

We make the I -5 for the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon & now the H3! Next year the I-5 will be getting 25 more HP and perhaps there might be a V8 option offered in 08 for those that need the extra towing power.

That certainly doesn't mean the I - 5 is dead! The vast majority of our buyers are looking for the Hummer style and certainly want much better gas mileage than the H2s get. That article above states that the Hummer weighs 700 lbs more than the pickups, however the 4 door pickup versions weighs approx. 250 lbs. more than the H3.

After driving the H3 for over two months and getting use to the drive line I am satisfied with its power (plently enough for what I need) and so are about 90 + % of the new H3 owners.</span>
