why are you guys implying that matt19 didn't buy his own H3, cauze hes 20? guess what, im 19 and i go to school and work my a$$ off. I bought the H3 with my own money (though i did get a ford as a present from my mom and dad
). I dont earn a hundred grand as someone mentioned above, but i earn what most average 40 year old earn per year. I pay my own taxes and i bet most of you at my age didnt even know/care what taxes were. Now i dont know this guy matt, but it just pissed me off that you assume his situation. I beleive dei is also pretty young and from what i've read untill now it sounds like he is making most of his money. Dont know dei but this is from just reading his posts and taking his posts literaly, well at least the serious ones, and i could be wrong.
Now if you guys actually know this for a fact about this guy, then i apologize for my post.
about the topic of the thread, as i said earlier GM is not stupid, it is a company, and companies exist to make profit, not make people happy, thats just a side effect sometimes. It wasts to sell H3s, and blingers (the bigger market for hummers) dont give a shiet if it has a deisel or a gas or a nuclear reactor under the hood. They just want it to blind people and sound like its got something big under the hood, even though it may not.
Personally i think the alpha is a good compromise between the blinger and the off-roaders, power with a flash. The limited bling can always be taken off so no big deal for the offroaders, and there can always be more added for the blingers. The engine is harder to change, so thats why they needed to put one out from the factory, and they did just that. Deisel would probably be good, and get some market share, but it will probably be insignificant.
By the way, from what I know, GM will do much better in the near future. It has some great things lined up in every area of the market, and the restructuting seems to be going well. It may be stumbling now but then its gona jump at once. Rock on GM. oh and also ford and chrisler. Gotta support american made.
revisting old topics is good, theres nothing wrong with it, this forum was kinda dying anyways, except for the off topic and woodshed sections. Controversy and arguing is always good!
