Re: h3 vs h2 in speed.
I apologize in advance for not having read all of the posts in this thread, but my $0.02:
I just took my H2 in to the dealer today to get an OnStar module replaced. They gave me a 2007 H3 loaner. I have never driven one with the 3.5L, but the 07 with the 3.7L was way quicker than I imagined it would be. After all of the bad press, I expected it to be a dog. Perhaps I have low expectations (I'm one of the people who thinks that the H2 does not need to be any faster - I've never really wanted or needed to puch that massive beast any faster than it goes). I enjoy driving fast cars, but I don't really enjoy drving my H2 around like a race car. I've been considering getting an H3 for my wife fairly soon. I might have already done so, but I was dreading the slowness of the vehicle and thought we should see what the pricing on the Alpha would be. After today (though I'd rather have the Alpha-everything else being equal), I'm not sure I'd pay much more for one. The 3.7L H3 seems plenty fast to me. Granted, it did not have the 33" tires, but I can't believe that will make a huge difference.
