Anyone know if the new engine is flex-fuel (e85) capable?

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I think I may have to re-think trading mine in this year.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

What's to rethink? Either go for a good deal on an 07' if you don't like the updates or wait for the 08'.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

he said the cast iron front axle will fit in any H3 :perfect10s: that gives me a BONER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beerchug: :jump: :jump: :jump:

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

^^ Thats a normal reaction, I assure you... :o

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I had heard from someone here (in an older thread about the '08) that it was going to be. I want a diesel though!!:rant:

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

ONLY 2 mpg better? That can't be right

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I really like it! I'm glad I held out and didn't get an '07. I have a new job now and have been discussing getting a new vehicle with better gas milage for day to day driving, in addition to keeping my 03.

But, if you're telling me it'll get Better gas milage, then I'm sold!

Giddy Up!

I have an 06 Caddy SRX and the On-Star buttons are under the rearview mirror. Not too accessible...maybe that's where they went...

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

That's what I heard. Think about it, most people are getting 11-14mpg in 'em so getting 13-16 is a HUGE leap. When you add the fact that it's going to be even faster, it's a monstrous improvement.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

alright non of the photos work for me for some reason can someone put em up espiaclly the H3 Alpha ones please.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I HOPE IT IS FLEX FUEL LIKE THE TAHOE AND SUBURAN. THEY GET AROUND 21 TO 20 MPG.THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD IN H 2.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Notice the video shows BFGs. And it has middle and rear seat a/c.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I like all of it. I do wish they had an H2 alpha with less chrome. However, I can see my self getting one of those newer ones. The interior is sweet. BFG's are a welcome return!

E85??? Does the caddy motor accept E85???DOD is cool. Off road should be improved with the added power. Especially on steep hill climbs. Mine sometimes bogs down even if I fool the Traction control.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

looks like the front restraints are now in the b-pillar rather than the seat back. I thought they did away with the bfg's? I like the old grill better...the letters underneath the grill look odd. The new dash is cool....the door trim looks a lot sturdier....

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

The Grey 08 H2 will be mine.


Oh yes.......She will be mine.:shhh: :beerchug:

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

It's not enough, it must break the 20 mpg mark if it'll be brag worthy. With the 6 speed and DOD, 2 mpg improvement doesn't sound right. Considering the sales of the H2 lately and gas prices, I think anything short of 20 won't help sales at all, new interior/motor or not.

What are the new requirements that automakers must meet anyway?

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Did you happen to notice they said they're adding rear a/c?

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

New door handles. 3/5 mehs.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Not excited about a selector knob. I liked the buttons.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Overall, the new interior looks ok(at least from the pictures). I DO like the center console cover/armrest.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

The overhead console has been changed.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I'm not a fan of the piping on the leather. Wear wise, it's not good. I'd like to see a tucked under tough stitch instead like the stitches on a baseball. Hey, there's an idea for us baseball fans! A pro baseball model with white leather seats, red stitching and appointments for your favorite team! Or maybe glove leather seats with the burned in logo of your favorite player.

Or NFL edition with genuine pigskin seats etc.

'Nuther idea, how 'bout a Swiss Army Knife edition.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I love it !! Interior rocks !!!

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I dunno??? I'm not sold yet??? Maybe when I see one in person?

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I like it! Stabilitrak with Rollover Mitigation is a HUGE safety improvement. Those technologies are considered to be as important as seatbelts. I like the new setup inside. Seems like it will make the interior feel even larger. I wonder if that bulge on the rear passenger side is a subwoofer? Or maybe a nice big air compressor.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Nope, it's the rear A/C unit.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Yes!!! I'm not real comfortable on a side slope over 32 degrees. Knowing that the truck will be doing some mitigation on my behalf will make me feel better about pushing it into the 40 degree range. :giggling:

'mitigate'...nice euphemism for "our lawyers wouldn't let us use 'prevent' or 'reduce'" To mitigate a rollover really means to make it seem less worse than it actually could have been.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

i dont like the new dash . the center part is ok .. but i like the old air vents better. the older ones look stronger . better shape..the orange is kinda cool. i might like the dash better in person.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Maybe by next time this year I'll be in one of these. Got to wait until they start rolling through the auction. You can get 2007's from factory sales with less than 100 miles in the upper $40's right now... :D

Now that we've got an H1 ALPHA, and an H3 ALPHA, what's that mean for the H2 ALPHA?

Maybe re-engineered tie rods! :D :jump:

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

:popcorn:

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

:iagree: It should be more than that!...

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

:perfect10s: :jump:

Here is my H2 ALPHA wish list:
All cognito front end upgrades standard, front e-locker, 37" mud tire option, lower lo range (will this occur with the new trans and new gearing????), winch bumper standard.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I'm not sure I like the new interior. It's starting to look rather Jeepish. I like my boob vents.

But the new ENGINE = :perfect10s: :perfect10s: :perfect10s:


I was laughing about the "six speed" transmission. In mountains at this alititude here I hardly ever get above 2nd gear with my current underpowered engine. :D

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Maybe it'll be geared so you'll be able to hit 3rd.:clapping:

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I really like the idea of the 6-speed trans, and, obviously more power, but, in most other areas, I like the old one better. I think the new interior looks cool, but more for a luxury vehicle. I like the more-busy look to the old dash. The old dash still looks like it belongs on an expensive and unique vehicle, but it looks more utilitarian, rather than the luxury car feel the new one gives me. Things I like better about the old one: the grab bar on the passenger side; the center consol with the up/down armrests; the three cigar/sunglass compartments above my head (I have no sunroof, but I assme they are completely gone from the new model); the old vents (way more utilitarian than the newer, sleeker ones); though I haven't touched the new ones, I'm pretty sure I like the old, bigger dash controls much better--they must be easier and quicker to find/use than the new Star Trek version. All of these things are more than offset by the additional power and the 6-speed trans, but, comparing apples to apples, I like the old interior better. Other than that, at least they didn't mess the H2 up by putting ghey roundy curves on the outside. My guess is that most people won't tell the difference between an 08 and an 07 in traffic, unless they are paying very close attention. To me, that's a good thing. The H2, as it is and as it was, is one of the only vehicles I like to ride behind in traffic because it's just so damn great-looking. To me, there was a lot more room for ruining the look of the vehicle than improving it. I'm glad they didn't do that.

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I remember the thread with the first spy shots had a pic of the gear shift lever, and it had an "M" as one of the gear selections. Someone said that might have been a manual mode... Any word? :confused:

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

Still in this photo....

Re: 2008 H2 - Official Pics & Video
 

I'm amazed you can definitively say it's an M, but then again, I don't think it could be anything other than H or R. What would H be? Wrong spot for Reverse.

Is it what GM calls the DSC (Driver Shift Control) mode that they have in the 2007 Escalades, other caddies, vettes and some of the pontiacs? If so, here exactly are the "tap-up/tap-down" controls that a lot of the GM docs on this feature describe?
