only thing that worries me is power/weight ratio compared to the liberty.
h3 is like 850lbs heavier but only 10hp more then the liberty..... also has less torque. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Personally, I think you are going to be surprised about the H3. Take a look at those numbers again. The H3 is generating about the same torque at a much, much lower RPM. Of course, things like throttle response, etc. will determine how it "feels" driving.
When you go to a Hummer Happening, drive an H2 around, then an H1 and compare it to your H3. They all serve different purposes.

I thought the Escalade was considered the "ultimate bling vehicle"...

Not to mention the difference in gearing. I dont know exact gearing for the Liberty but my guess would be > 3.73s and the H3 will come with 4.56s stock.

btw, i'm new here & there's too many H2 owners that assume H3 buyers are just H2-wannabes. this is so far from the truth, & most know this. i'm just not a big truck/suv guy, but i do want an SUV that i don't have to modify to make a decent off-road weekender. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Uh, I don't know where you got that. You must not read very well. Go through the forum posts and find proff of that.
The H3 is going to perform about as well as the H2.... From what I've been told.

Hi, I'm new here and have been reading quite a bit.
Anyways I ordered my H3 about 3 1/2 weeks ago, the dealership told me with the options I got it would be around 44-45 thousand (canadian)
All I got was the Luxury package, Chrome package, side step, roof rack and sunroof. If you guys want to know all the options go to the dealership, I have the print out of them all. They told me I would get mine late June, early July.

Oh yah, they also told me that the H3 is supposed to go anywhere the H2 can "if" properly equiped. They did offer me the off road package so that might be the catch...if you want it to do the same as the H2 would have to pay the extra??

All you really need is the rear locker is what they should have said.. well the 33s will give you more clearance too. And both of these come in with the "off road" package including more.
Also, congrats on your H3!

Just for the record I'm not making judgements about anyone. My comments were purely toung in cheek, as they say, I was just having a bit of a laugh.
I like the H2, I love the H1 Alpha. I ordered an H3 on the first day that it could have been ordered in my area. I can afford an H2 but I choose not to as it dosen't fit my lifestyle. The H3 is more suited to my needs and I look forward to it's arrival. This makes me an H3 wannabe, I really don't give a toss about anyone who thinks I drive an H3 because I'm wishing that I had an H2.

I have to say everyone sounds like a chicken with there head cut off. I think this is what hummer wants. Lets relax and see when the H3 comes out and what it has to bring to the table.
It might be great and it might be a big lemon, but it will never be the H1 or H2. Don't forget it will never be the original idea that hummer first started with and can't anyone see hummer made a hungry customer. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>It is always amazing to see the pissers. Sport, if everyone waited to see if the H3 is going to be a lemon or not, no one would ever buy one. What difference does it make to you whether or not someone orders their H3 before you do?

yes it will not be an H1 or an H2 you poon. Its an H3!
Ya know some things are so obvious to most and then you get those few who just cant see the most obvious things right in front of thier face as they argue all day long that its not really there, while the rest of us just sit back in astonishment.
