Damn First Hummer, who told you that?

To the original question, you won't see a V8 in '07. Maybe a diesel late in the model year. As for the disbeliever on the drivetrain components, if, and I do say if (small if), a V8 is installed, it will have the same axles and Tcases; won't mention the trans, but if it is different it is not due to torque, but for fuel mileage...all I will say on that. And guess what; they can handle the additional torque and HP. The drivetrain components are a lot heftier than people think.
Ask me how I know. But I can't say. (I believe we have already had this discussion, and we hopefully, we both agree to disagree.)
As for the statement about the H3 having a great balance of HP and gearing already, that I agree with 1000%. In my opinion, the reports of it being underpowered for on-road use, and for off-road is greatly exaggerated. No, it won't do over 99 mph, no it won't do 0-60 in under 8 seconds, but then again, it is a large vehicle that has enough power to pull away from a light with dignity, merge on an interstate with authority, and climb mountains like a Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep; and it does it in great comfort. That is all I ask for in this vehicle.
