The Alpha comes pretty darn loaded.
H3x Package - RPO HH3
All the H3x goodies with chrome, like brush guard, fuel cover, etc.
Optional paint
Body color grille
Basically, it will come in (without the H3x chrome stuff) at about 1500.00 more than posted by Urban Ops. If you go with an H3x it might be close, considering you have to drop the off-road package that is not available on the H3x.
The H2 will also be going up in price this year with the new engine, trans and interior. How much????
Would the H3 be worth 45K with the V8 and loaded with everything but the chrome bling package? It will still be around 15K less than an H2, bet a lot better fuel mileage. For towing or just to have a V8 it probably is. However, in my opinion, a H3 with the 3.7L/off-road/lux pkg/sunroof/maybe or maybe not the chrome package/trailer pkg/ is the best bet for off-roading. I cannot see a big advantage in off-roading with the V8; other than the cast-iron front diff. (Again my opinion. For GM's sake, I hope everyone purchases an Alpha.
