For those of you interested, this is the latest word on H3 pricing from GM. This came directly from Hummer during a recent dealer event.
Start price of 29,500. Fully loaded around 39,000. When you see the trucks, I think you'll find this a very good price.
Keep in mind, there is still time for GM to change their mind. But that's probably going to be it.

I do like the H2 and would buy one if the gas mileage did not suck. Actually I would get an H1 if I could afford it. I will look at the H3's when they come out. Is the H3 a six cylinder?

heh, not really my quote... But what i was talking about is that the reasons people were wanting an H3 wasn't just because it was cheaper & looked like an H2 (the wannabe people). I'm sure there's a group like this, i'm not one.
H3 has 220hp inline 5.

here it is, mind you this is one mans opinion.
Kevin
For wheeling, it's a pretty close contest. A similarly equipped Liberty beats the H3 in alot of aspects.
Ground clearance:
Liberty is 9.4 (before lift)
H3 is 9.1
Approach angle:
H3 is 37.5 w/32in. tires, or 39.4 with optional 33in. tires.
Liberty is 37.2 on the Limited (with 2.5 lift and 245/75 this would be more like 39-40 degrees).
Departure angle:
H3 is 35.5 with 32's, 36.5 with 33's
Liberty is 31.5 or approx 34 w/ lift and tires
Rear Suspension:
H3 has leaf springs
Liberty has coil springs
HORSEPOWER:
H3 has 220hp at 5600 RPM
Liberty has 210hp at 5200 RPM
Liberty Diesel has 160hp at 3800
TORQUE:
H3 has 225 lbs. ft at 2800 RPM
Liberty has 235 lbs. ft at 4000 RPM
Liberty Diesel has 295 lbs. ft at 1800 RPM
The H3 has 55.7 cu. ft of space with the rear seat down. The Liberty is 69 cu. ft. of space with the rear seat down.
H3 is about 12 in. longer, 4 in. wider. and the track is wider by 5 in.

H2 people? no... H3? maybe... most hummer people that think like that are H2 owners, IMO. H1 is too rough around edges for this type of person to want an H1, also H1's 'Cost-Per-Bling-Ratio' is too high for their taste. no offense to the normal crowd H2 owners, but they have to admit that the H2 attracts more blingers then any other vehicle. Size factor gives it the win over the others.
i wouldn't mind being called an H1 wannabe. i like the H1. what's not to like. when related to what it does best, there's no other production vehicle made that can handle what it can w/o aftermarket parts build-up.

All you really need is the rear locker is what they should have said.. well the 33s will give you more clearance too. And both of these come in with the "off road" package including more.
Also, congrats on your H3!

Let me rephrase that, how does it make it "much better?"

Should be at dealers the end of May or 1st week of June at the latest. I didn't take any pics. There are a bunch of pics out there though.

Take a look at those numbers again. The H3 is generating about the same torque at a much, much lower RPM. Of course, things like throttle response, etc. will determine how it "feels" driving.
When you go to a Hummer Happening, drive an H2 around, then an H1 and compare it to your H3. They all serve different purposes.

i have a liberty now, & the only thing that worries me is power/weight ratio compared to the liberty.
h3 is like 850lbs heavier but only 10hp more then the liberty. price is not my concern as much as performance. also has less torque. (hoping for upgrades later, like H3T concept had).
H3 seems to be lined up closer to jeep grand cherokee class then the liberty class. It just doesn't have the bigger displacement option yet, which is understandable.
still getting one. been waiting for hummer to get something that has a smaller off-road chassis.
btw, i'm new here & there's too many H2 owners that assume H3 buyers are just H2-wannabes. this is so far from the truth, & most know this. i'm just not a big truck/suv guy, but i do want an SUV that i don't have to modify to make a decent off-road weekender.
exciting new days upon Hummer

yes it will not be an H1 or an H2 you poon. Its an H3!
Ya know some things are so obvious to most and then you get those few who just cant see the most obvious things right in front of thier face as they argue all day long that its not really there, while the rest of us just sit back in astonishment.

That is going to be a huge seller at that price.
Hold on for H3 forum members.

The H3 is going to be a HUGE seller if that's the real base price.
Can't wait to drive one.

Just for the record I'm not making judgements about anyone. My comments were purely toung in cheek, as they say, I was just having a bit of a laugh.
I like the H2, I love the H1 Alpha. I ordered an H3 on the first day that it could have been ordered in my area. I can afford an H2 but I choose not to as it dosen't fit my lifestyle. The H3 is more suited to my needs and I look forward to it's arrival. This makes me an H3 wannabe, I really don't give a toss about anyone who thinks I drive an H3 because I'm wishing that I had an H2. |

I thought the Escalade was considered the "ultimate bling vehicle"...
