If you want a good feel for how the new H3 Alpha will perform, simply test drive an Envoy Denali. Same weight and instead of the over 10 second 0-60 time of the H3, it'll be under 7 seconds! It's tow rating is a full ton more than the H3. It's 0-60 rating will be better than the Fuggin Junk and even what all the magazines called a real hot rod, the Xterra. We drove the Denali Envoy and it's VERY MUCH a performer. The 5.3 will have active fuel management and the Envoy gets 16city 22hwy ( I have no doubt that the blocky H3 will get somewhat less but I bet it's not much different than the I5)
No, none of us buy an H3 to be a hot rod but now it will truly live up to it's billing "Like Nothing Else" It'll tow better, pass better, climb mountains better, and pull the All Terrains better. (I'm gonna puke if they only put the V8 in a 2wd bling machine)
I'm already planning for a nice dynomax exhaust system. I've seen people put duals on I5s and that reminded me of Joan Jett wearing Pam Anderson's bra.
There's a good side to this, the people that like the I5 will have plenty of used vehicles to choose from. Here's a question: How many H2 drivers will want an H3 Alpha?
