XM DUDE, people in the know already said that it's only $2k more. I wasn't guessing when I said that, so put your mind at ease about the pricing. Remember, the H3 is a pricepoint vehicle. People that would spend $50k will more than likely upgrade to an H2!
I could give a rat's patootie about flex fuel capability. There's not an ethanol station within a thousand miles of my house. It's a gimmick unless you live in freakin' Iowa. The one good thing good about flex fuel capability is that the fuel delivery system can take the funky chemicals without drying out and cracking better. When they went with benzene and MTBE in our fuel here, I had premium Gates hoses and gaskets turning to krap in only a year.
