This is true. I had been involved with this project for a while and the H3 had been in the works sence 1999. The media was trying to get info on the H3 so they came out with the H3T to take the heat and media off the H3 project. As far as the turbo, that was the plan. But the plan has changed. No turbo 5. Probably a couple of years down the road, maybe Alpha version with a different option. Now the South African version will have the I5 also but will have an optional Isuzu turbo desiel engine. They will not build a right hand drive version until 2007. I have not heard of the turbo desiel for the USA, yet.
