From the article:

"However nice the Alpha may be, we think it?s gonna take a lot more than one trim level to keep the dust from collecting on the hoods of Hummers currently in those fancy showrooms across the country. We?d like to see the V-8 become available on a less-luxury-laden H3 in an effort to appeal to off-road purists who care less about heated leather seats than prodigious low-end torque. And while we?re at it, a V-8 and manual combo would be nice, too. And how about a convertible for the Jeep crowd? Maybe a canvas roof? And what about that oft-rumored H3 pickup? That?s the kind of model proliferation Hummer needs if it?s serious about reclaiming and sustaining the popularity that greeted its early models. So, we hope the Alpha is exactly that: the ?alpha,? not the ?omega.? "

I couldn't agree more.
