The V8 should take up less length than the I5, and be lower as well. Manufacturing cost is probably about the same, and the V8 might be even be cheaper to make. Higher volumes, and no DOHC.
The I6 might be going away, since the TrailBlazer will be discontinued in a couple of years.
At a minimum they should offer the V8 in the regular H3 as an option, and I suspect this will happen. If they want to distinguish the Alpha, there's a 6.0 in the corporate bin...
