H3 Alpha

[OUMike]

Fellas, I just saw a commercial this morning and then went to website to check it out.

 

New Hummer H3 Alpha with the 5.3. Looks like its gonna be around 40 grand. Anyone in line to order one? I'll be graduated just in time for the one year old models to be floating around.

Maybe I'll talk the g/f into driving one

I'm not into the glorified Trailblazers.

More like a glorified Colorado.

Yea. except nicer and bigger. So..really..not like a Colorado at all.

They actually do have some special features designed into them, such as full time 4WD that has a 4HI and 4LOW just like a regular transfer case. You can also get bigger tires and a lower low range then in any of the cousins.

The only reason it is full time is that the people buying hummers would use it. Just like 99.9% of the Hummer caps never come off the trailer hitch..

I test drove the H3Alpha a few months back at the dealer, and it just didnt impress me enough to be worth 40k. Didnt seem to have much low end power when compared to a pickup with the same 5.3l.

 

Of course its whatever floats your boat, but its not for me. Although I do like the new '08 H2's with the 6.2l !!!

That is sort of what I had heard about it as well, never drove one though.

The H3 frame is the same as colorado. I used to make the frame at Dana when I worked there. There is some slight differences in the frame but it's just a beefed up colorado frame
