Folowwing on the new model thread. There will be 3 new models (or variants of the H3 in the coming year)

- Right Hand Drive H3 for the UK markets (an other right hand drive markets. These will be powered by Diesel engines. Yes a Diesel H3.

- Left Hand Drive Diesel H3s. both will be coming out by end 2006.

- AS FOR 2007 H3. I cannot publically reveal the information yet, but what I can say is it will have a modified engine with more Horsepower. No it's not supercharged, it's a modified engine, Horsepower will be around 245 stock. To be launched end of 2006 as a 2007 model.

It has been known for sometime that a disel will be added to the H3...for sales outside the US only.

Diesels will not be sold in the US, but it is implied in the second paragraph.

As for the third para, I would not call it a "modified" engine, it will be a standard engine, derived from an existing engine, used in many applications; not just H3. Also, HP might be a bit more. I drove one three weeks ago, and it is noticeable, but I'm satisified with what I have in this one.
