Diesel will most likely be in '07 H3

[f5fstop]

Model years can start production anytime between May through Sept ('06 vette ran through Sept of this year). As for the diesel, remember I did qualify this. However, this information not only comes from people I know, but it was on GM drive time, which is a video we can tap into. It is not secret if on GM drivetime.
And on this video, they stated that they are considering bringing the diesel to the states.
US demographics are quickly changing and GM will have to go with the flow.
As for a V8...I can't say, but be patient, but don't expect a Hemi. The Hummer is designed for off-road, and not for 0-60 times to and from the soccer field.

that is a huge part for getting a diesel Killian. I believe in the next few years (ie in the lifetime I will own a H3) that bio-diesel will become more mainstream and available. Now wouldnt that piss the left-tree huggers off? A Hummer that is actually good for the environment? lol. I cant wait !
It would also piss off the arabs to that we woulden't need their oil!

Unfortunately I don't have the ability to test the H3 in the Colorado Rockies with 6-7% grades, but I do know from driving a Jeep with a V6 through the mountains definitely lacks power; this power is needed like someone else posted, more on passing and grade climbs. I don't expect the H3 to be racing a Porsche!

Thanks for the link to that article. Just further re-enforces what my thinking was. I LOVE THE H3 !! That is without question, however I am thinking long term with the vehicle, like my current TJ (wrangler). I truly believe the option of bio-diesel and just true cleaner burning diesel will be in the near future...'til the time is right the H3 is on hold which makes me sad

I don't know for sure but am guessing that production for the '07 would begin in June or July.

Can you send me that video? I would be interested in seeing it.

I personally think the H3 is by far the best 4x4 out there. I was looking at the Jeep Commander, but upon further review, it is too dinky!

I currently drive a F250 diesel and am looking at future replacements.
