They are great pics! The outside still looks good but the interior is way too much luxury / bling looking.

[blockrockin]

nice pics... i like the orange seats.. but i still like the old air vents better. but their are some nice additions.

[Tully]

only one cigarette lighter in the front too? That blows...is that the all windows up/down button just to the left of the headlights nob?

I agree, I just can't get over the loss of the round airvents...I keep trying to like the new style, but I don't know that it'll happen. Maybe an aftermarket dealer will make dash replacements to go 'old school'?

I also couldn't get into the '08 Hummer at the NY Auto Show, they were only letting people into the Special Edition '07...the woman I talked to gave off the feeling that the nobs were glued on and the thing really wasn't production ready...go figure.

[Tully]

oh yeah...and she asked me what I thought of how it looked and my reply was 'Now it LOOKS like the inside of a Tahoe' she didn't seem pleased...LMFAO!

I mean, am i missing the GLARING differences between the two trucks?



disappointing

Oh, that's brilliant!! There are times when I use all of 3 in the front and one or 2 in the back.

I agree the new interior looks like everything else GM makes, Tahoe, Silverado. No more uniqueness on the inside. Obviously they are sharing parts among all the trucks to save $. I do like the new power train. Can't stand the silver bumpers. I bet most will have them painted the day they drive the '08 off the lot. Making me want to keep my '06. Especially if yellow is not offered.

the front looks ok, the silver/pewter bumper is not bad either, however, it might clash a bit on the black one's.

The interior, well, i ahve said it before and basically, its not a hummer interior anymore... its looks like another GM product. They said that they took peoples opinions for the redesign... im wondering if those people where folks like us or the design team for every other chevy interior program?

The engine and trans is refreshing... however, i would like to see how well that trans will hold up. If should a little better than the 60e/65e, but six foward gears and 403hp with cylinder drop off is great!! She should come with a winch upgrade from factory!!

overall, she is still a hummer. She has lost also some figure in approach/departure/breakover angles, not sure if those figures are legit. She doesn't seem to have changed alot in the exterior so it may be the same.

393 hp @ 5700 rpm ??? How can GM justify almost 70 more hp with just .2 extra liters on the v-8. Something in that equation doesn't add up...

[timgco]

I guess I'm the only one than!

To me, the new interior looks waaaaayyyyy better. The materials look to be improved if they are anything like the new Tahoe's.

I cannot wait for them to be released. If the price doesn;t get jacked to 70K for a Lux series, I may have onther one.

Haha!!! The straight on front views are of an old H2. It's NOT an '08. Check out the dash bewbies.

The new motor uses the L-92 heads which flow a crazy amount compared to the old LS-style heads. Lots more flow from the top-end...

[CONRAD II]

If you look at the pics on the site you'll see that only the first group is of pre 2008's. All the pictures past the interior pics are of the '08. Also, everything I've heard is that the 08' heads compared to the pre 08's would make no noticible power difference. How else might they have tuned it? I do like the idea of a 5 sp tranny though...

That's exactly what I've been trying to tell everyone about mine.

[CONRAD II]

Oh really. I'm pretty sure it should be extremely obvious that she lower pics are of 2008. http://www.seriouswheels.com/2008/20...-1920x1440.htm Slow down and look at ALL the pics. However I don't know why they mixed the pics of the earlier H2's with the 2008's.

[Alan06SUT]

I think the interior looks great and is much improved over ours....Tim, you're not alone!!!

[Albie]

love the 390 hp engine....can;t wait for the alpha

[frenzy1]

the interior rocks !!

the l9-2 head design was taken from the chevy ls7 project. GM truck division needed a head that would flow great and match the new 6.3L's power potential without sacrificing power due to a restrictive intake design.

Actually, those heads, with a combination of the L76 (i believe) manifold would give use LQ9'ers a chance to bolt-on one of the baddest heads ever produced by chevy. These heads are basically C5R heads with the 15* valve angle of our current LQ9's. These babies will out flow in stock form even the best 15* aftermarket cast ls6/lq9/ls1 head around. Imagine ported, if you dont loose port velocity and efficiency, these could be the baddest heads in v-8 pushrods.

anyways, our current motors are 364ci..the new ones are around 375ci-ish. New heads and intake flow, better tunning.. hell, i still think they are underpowered and need a ls1/ls6 type of manifold to really give them justice.
