Default Re: V-8-POWERED H3 ALPHA

Spuds,

I agree with Huck. My brother in law drives a Touareg. It's a decent SUV for snow and great in city driving. We took them on some easy trails together, they are not good off road.

My take is that when the engineers sit down to put a vehicle together they have criteria in mind that is developed for their target demographic. The Hummers demographic is off road. The vehicle is designed around that philosophy, the volkswagen appears to me to be much more about the on road driving. Compromises will be required to fit in as many different buyers into the demographic as possible while still maintaining the target.

Hummer should have a front locker on the new Alpha as far as I'm concerned, but the blingers probably have more say than I do on the vehicle right now. There is more of them.

Just my .02
