I got lucky today. Hall is having an HH tomorrow celebrating the opening of the new building. I was told they'd have an H3 so I took a chance and drove by. It was there and Chris was kind enough to let me take some pics and crawl around.

I like it. So did the three people walking up the sidewalk who stopped and asked questions.

This truck has been to 27 dealerships and only has 200 miles on it. How do they keep the miles down? GM doesn't give the dealership a key to the Stant gas cap!

I'm not a fan of red, but this looks very nice. With all the talk about the clearance, I admit I was pleased with what I saw. It had more than I expected. The truck also looked "nimble" in it's stance.

I also like how the tailgate has a hydraulic opener. Once it starts to open you don't have to assist it.

Too bad there isn't one on the hood. That baby was heavy. No fiberglass up there.

I was also impressed with the ample leg room up front. I'm 6'4" and about 245lbs and had no trouble with the seats or headroom. Unfortunately, this truck had cloth seats and no power.

Here's a pic of the center stack. I like the way it looks and it appears very functional.

I wasn't impressed with the location of the HomeLink.

Last pic. I hope this helps. If anyone has any specifics pics they would like pics of, let me know. I will be seeing this truck again tomorrow.

BTW, this truck did have the tire pressure monitor.

Is that the proprod for the hood? If so, the production ones will have gas struts for the hood. No proprod. Makes a big difference.

I think it must be a preproduction model, the underhood area looks to be in two colors.

I hadn't noticed before but what are the two circles at the bottom of the center stack. Looks like 12V power outlets to the right and maybe rear wiper control to the left. Doesn't have a rear wiper though does it?

I believe that you are right about the 12v power. I believe that there is one in the back, also. As far as the color, They aren't clearcoating only the parts that show. Under the hood isn't one of them. Also, I think it was the lighting.

That is a proprod. Thank goodness the production model will have struts. The hood has some heft to it.

Those are 12v outlets at the bottom of the center stack.

This truck did not have a rear wiper.

The color difference is the lighting. They appeared the same in person.

Didn't think they came with rear wipers. Since it isn't a rear wiper control, what is that at the bottom left of the center stack? And what is between that and the 12v outlets? I believe every photo I have seen the shifter is in the way.

That definately seems like an odd place to put the homelink....

Thanks Ken. Each time I see new pics of the H3 I like it more. Curious about the power though with the inline 5.

what are those two things on either side of the hood right in front of the windshield... they look like covered vents ya know? what is that?

That's a rear wiper control on the left. If you look at the interior of the rear door, there is a "bump" rising in the plastic panel where the rear wiper will be.
