Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

At least we don't require the rear bar like in Europe. I wonder how hard it would be to remove when off-roading? I understand the possible liability if you remove it for highway driving and run over a Prius (that does sound like fun though).

A little more something would have been nice for the interior on the ALPHA. Perhaps different gauges, a nice DIC, steering wheel controls, etc. The V8 will be cool however.

Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

The only difference inside will be the Alpha emblem on the steering wheel and head rests. You can't tell the difference in the gauges.

UGGHH!!! These H3s are getting worse than computers! Every year an updated and better model. :( Guess I better jump in for the 08 Alpha or I'll be waiting for the next upgrade, than the next upgrade.... Any hints, though? :D

Who said he was talking about an H3? :shhh:

Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

Ummm.. Sure it'll breath higher, but what you gonna do about the rest of those electrical parts that don't dig being under water.. Alternator, fuse box, batteries, etc...


It ain't even close to watertight.. I dipped a rental H3 into a hole a bit to deep, had to be snatched out backwards and ended up with 3 inches of water in the floorboard in less than a minute.. Someguy on here dumped on off into a pond sideways a good while back and the moment he hit water it fried most of the electrical stuff in the truck.. Doors wouldn't unlock, windows wouldn't roll down..

H3 SUT, H3T, H4...? Next few years should be good for Hummer fans!

Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

:iagree:

Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

Thankfully no rear bar. How about the Adventure package on V8?

Drove the 1 and 2 at school in misawaka and both filled with water on the pond run. Something new and better to get you to buy another, come on man.

Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

unbelievable. for months people have been bitching that there was no enough on-road power. now hummer's giving us a quick v8 and probably at the least the same or better gas mileage, and now there's bitching that the guages are not different. whine whine whine.:lame: :lame: :lame:

I don't really care that it's got the V8 other than it adds Flex-Fuel capacity. I think some interior changes would have been nice to separate the H3 ALPHA from the H3 however. If the price difference is only $2,000, then I guess it's not really a big deal.

ROAR! :D


The skid-plate looks bullet proof! And then there's a second shield. Awesome! The more plates the better!

Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

The flex fuel thing is useless. I can count the number of stations selling it around here with my ear hole. That's right, 0. It's a gimmick, schpeel, non-event. IF the thing comes with those stupid flexfuel badges, I'm heat gunnin' 'em off immediately and replacing them with Jolly Rogers.

All those skidplates look great, wonder if they're options?

Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

Hey, I wonder if they beefed up the steering components. Can anyone tell from this pic?

Re: H3 ALPHA Pics and Video
 

Huck,
In my humble opinion, Flex-fuel or H2 are the growing technologies of the next 10-15 years. Flex-fuel or bio-diesel are the only two oil alternatives that are going to work short-term, as H2 is going to be a long, long way from anything like a HUMMER (unless you don't mind filling up every 100 miles). Gas will likely go up as China, India, and other countries expand, and as the oil-wealthy nations continue to be unfriendly. Some of the only near term solutions are:
1. Discover more oil domestically (highly expensive)
2. Blow the bits out of those countries and set up our own infrastructure (highly expensive and slow)
3. Grow our own fuel (Think Brazil; very possible as the distribution networks are there, and we're familiar with liquid fuels)
4. Stop driving

It's not really an environmental issue (though there are environmental benefits when using switchgrass or sugar cane), but simply (I think) the changing nature of our world and economy. Personally, whatever I drive next I want to have flex capability because it's coming, even if it's not here today. Though corn has to go away as the production source.

Anyway, back to the gloriousness of the H3 ALPHA! :D
