Re: 2008 H3 SUV
I just looked at the specs for a 2007 Yukon. Isn't that a heavier vehicle than the H3? If so, it is getting comparable gas mileage with a V8 and obviously more horses....

I think (and yes, that has gotten me into trouble before ) that we will find out more about any new engines when the 2008 line starts production in June. H3Builder, does this sound about right?

Is it going to be offered as an optional Alpha model, or something like that, or is the V8 just going to be standard. Also how many more horsepower is it going to have. And while im at it do you know what color will be replacing Yellow?

Re: 2008 H3 SUV
My dealer told me they would be there end of June/ early July with the 8cyl. He had no spec to share either. I'm almost positive it's not public as of yet. When's the next big auto show? Maybe we'll get more intel than?

Simple answer NO. I can explain more in April, but honestly, it would not be practical.

Re: 2008 H3 SUV
Too funny f5!
One thing I am concerned about is that some of the reports out there state that a conceptual 2008 H3 Alpha with new engine will be the Hummer "Street" version. Why? WTF is GM thinking? Taking a Hummer and for all intensive purposes making it into a "Mall Rated" Hummer aka Jeep.
On the flip side, I am seeing some of the concept Hummers and they look pretty cool, which would make me think that there are going to be some pretty cool changes in 2008 and in the future.

Since I can't edit my previous post, here is where I saw the information on the "Street" version.

IF...the reported Alpha is only a street version this will be two hits against Hummer for me. One was Desert Orange only in the Mall Rated version, the other would be the Alpha being a Mall Rated option only. This would put me over the edge, and probably right into a Desert Green Rubicon Unlimted 4-door Jeep.
However, I hope marketing is not that brain dead. The paint color made no sense; especially since they have approved Desert Orange for the H3. However, if they do release a V8 and it is only in the Mall Model, this will be me over the edge.
My personal opinion is the Alpha will be a fully optioned out H3 (aka Luxury Package with optional V8). I'm sure they will offer bling as options such as lower ratio tires, chrome anything, but I would hope they would also offer an off-road package. However, I have no idea how they will market a V8, if they even release one.

Re: 2008 H3 SUV
there are no new options for the engine. This is all rumors started by people based on nothing. There is no v-8. So they had a V-8 H3 running on E85 at sema. Theres a lot of stuff at sema that doesnt come out. I seen E85 everything. I seen a hydrogen hummer. I seen a jeep with 2 engines and quad steering. I seen a twin turbo hummer once too. What happend to that? This is dum. Im sick of the V8 rumors. I got the car when it first came out and everyone was saying the same thing. And everyone had some kind of inside information that they werent supose to talk about. Its not happening this year either. A few months ago everyone was saying the h3 x had a v8. Having already seen it at the ny auto show and confirming it didnt have an 8 nobody believed it didnt even after i seen it. Im not running with these rumors anymore. I'll believe it when i hear it or see it.

I'm saving this quote for a couple months. Should be fun to bring back. Some people just don't know how to read between the lines of what F5 (one of the most reliable sources on this forum) has been hinting about for months now.
