Re: Are we close to 2008 order dates yet???
My dealer in Louisville KY is taking orders for the 08 H3 Alpha. I want one but I'd have to sell my H3 I have now and not trade it in as trade in values are in the toilet.

Re: Are we close to 2008 order dates yet???
Well interesting enough I had another dealer e-mail me and is looking for an '07 that might fit the bill and hopefully save a good amount of cash, can't wait to see what she comes up with!

Ok so why is it so hard for my dealers in upstate New York (ok we are in the boonies) to give me pricing and order one, they said they could take orders but no pricing yet, I may end up with a 2007 if the one they found is a good enough deal and all that I want!

Not sure why your dealer would be having problems. We have our Alpha for sale - we've ordered a ton of pre-orders, but for some reason a non-sold one came in first.

Re: Are we close to 2008 order dates yet???
Do you guys happen to know whether Alpha will be offered in some sort of basic trim (cloth seats, little or no chrome, etc)?
I wish I knew about Alpha before I got my '07 H3 few months back; well, I do like my car a lot but surely wouldn't mind the extra 50hp & V8 under the hood. I don't care about gas mileage, don't have to commute or drive too far, so if it does 10 -12mpg, it is OK with me. Also, looks like Alpha is going to be offered only with automatic transmission? I wish 5-speed manual was possible; would be even more fun since H3 is exceptional vehicle; can hardly imagine having anything else, except maybe..H2? Anyway, I think that once local Hummer dealer gets Alphas, (wonder when) I'll go check them out and hopefully take a test drive too. I just feel dumb about possibility of trading-in few months old H3. If I could get basic Alpha model, maybe my loss on trade-in wouldn't hurt that much (but still probably $8-$10k loss, I can imagine..not sure if it's worth it, and my H3 runs just great - no issues).

The Alpha is what it is. Only thing you can do is add to it with things like a sunroof and Adventure package and so on. Can't take from it like alot of us would like to. I hate chrome but thats how it comes.

...I see; well I'd pretty much want that V8 option only (without the rest of the "Alpha" stuff), sounds like thats what many others would prefer too. Maybe GM will listen and offer us such a model down the road - a base H3 with V8 (or similar stronger engine), and maybe 5-speed manual to go with it.

Don't bet on it. Car companies want to make money/profit, something GM hasn't done a good job at lately.

yes, you may be right - otherwise they'd be already offering V-8 engine as selectable option (alongside the I-5 engine option) for all '08 H3's, so the vehicle could be ordered to fit everyone's needs - it would be nice, but I'll not be disappointed keeping my '07

I can't wait any longer I wanted the V8 but not with all that bling, too bad, like I said before I am getting too old to want to take some one off the line, but it would be nice just to crawl right over the top of them!
I am STILL Waiting for pricing, my wife finally said why don't I just order the thing! Gotta love her! I am going to go through the options list that was posted here and call my dealer
