I drive the white because they didn't have any colors that I liked. And the bling looks great on white............

I understand why you can't talk about the 08, I'm also in a similar position. Half the time I can't tell my wife what I'm doing!

With that being said, you MUST tell us about the 08's!!! Look, I'm not going to buy an 07 either way so....

Sweet Pics!

I love that show too! The only one I've seen is the Ferarri 599 plant, but the similarities in the paint shop between the 599 and the H2 are almost dead on! We use the same "ro-dip" phosphate andcoating process, primer is applied just like a powder coating process, the paint is applied by robots in a dust free booth....so on and so on. One difference would be, when the H2 gets painted, the robot actually opens and closes the doors to get to the door jambs and inside. Pretty neat to see in person. In fact, after thinking about it, I really want to put together some sort of slide show of the plant now. Starting at the beginning in the body shop and working step by step to the end of the line. That could be interesting.

Smart move waiting for the next model, especially if you've already got an h2. The 2008 will have its changes, inside and out, but aside from the interior it will be like going from an 06 H3 to an 07 H3....if you catch my drift

It seems strange that wouldn't mount the chrome vent the first time around instead of scrapping a viable part and doing the labor twice while risking damage to the paint?

Neat pics though! I've toured the GM Fairfax plant and it's amazing to watch flat stock proceed through the presses and end up as a body panel. I'd love to tour the AM General Plant someday.

Translation - Engine upgrade from 6.0 to 6.2...

Do You like the changes inside or you ike the 07 inside better?

[Trinity]

Would you know if they are going to price about the same as the 07?

[JAYB1RD]

mdoyle - The plant scraps thousands of dollars a day in damaged parts. Some of the parts they use on these hoods are the discontinued, all black, pieces. Others, are parts that are already scrapped from other trucks. But you bring up a viable concern about scratching the hoods paint while swapping in the new chrome piece. Good point.

Htothe2- The new interior looks real nice! It's a more classy look, with brushed aluminum type finishes and chrome accents. Think 07 Cadillac trucks.

Trinity - Unfortunately, I don't have any info on the pricing. I don't even know the cost of the current trucks we're sending out. Most all of the trucks here leave with a just a shipping version of the window sticker, with no price or list of options on it. Just a list of the standard features and a barcode for tracking purposes.

I hope they didn't move the gear selector to the steering coloum (sp?)!

I wish they had left the regular interior, the new cadddys look kind of like cars in the inside. that sucks. but you never know i might like it.

Personally, I am hoping the new interior has a similar feel to the interior on my Alpha. That would be great.

I always felt the current interior had way too much cheap plastic. The ones I've owned all had creaking and popping that drove me crazy. (Not that the Alpha doesn't -- but that's a different story...)

[DanimalH2]

Give it to you? You'd probably just give it back...

Yeah, but you'd have extra garage space for at least 6 months.


Some day I hope to have a soft top again. Even though I only had the H1 for a short time, driving with the top off and the ease of navigating that monster on and off road was a blast.

Don't get me wrong, I love driving the H2, but it was a different feeling behind the wheel of the H1. Now if only I could find a soft top ALpha in price range.

Lynch does have several open top Alpha demos in stock just waiting for a new owner...

I know! I know I'll be the first one you call when you decide on a new Alpha.

btw- I watch Lynch's web every week waiting/ hoping for their ALpha's to come down in price.

Funny. I keep hoping the prices go up...

But I will let you know when I get the itch again. It has been six months, you know...

What ever happened to that Special Ops concept/show truck? That one was pretty interesting...
