Diesel should have been on the list for the second year on the H2 and the H3 should have come with a diesel option, too bad North America is so ignorant about diesel.

I would be ok with some lighter materials and some better aerodynamics, but i love the tires.

Tex_H2 I am curious, So by putting a Duramax Diesel in a Hummer does that make it NOT a Hummer? I myself would def. choose the diesel over a gas engine. Not only are they better on fuel, but are better for pulling heavy loads. Not bashing a hummer in anyway cause I love them, I own 2 of them, but a diesel would be the way to go.
