V8 a reality.

What kills me is many on this thread were naysayers a few weeks ago, now, because someone sees a piece of paper it is all real.

No need to answer, I already know that, as well as axles, t/case, ratios, will it be DOD or not, transmission, etc. I'll let all you state your own theories.
As for will I ever purchase a V8? Not really sure, but I can say this, unless Hummer comes out with some new colors next year, I will be jumping to the Jeep forum.

Dude, drink a cold one wouldja? You'd SERIOUSLY wouldn't buy a Hummer because of color choices?!? Sounds like something a chick would say: "I like the Vikings because they wear purple" (just yankin' your chain) Yellow's my choice but if it's not available, I don't give a frickin' rip if they're tittty pink, I'm gettin' a machine with a real engine in it, not some parts bin marginalization that leaves me wanting more. The jeep certainly doesn't fill that bill, nothing else does except for the Dodge Powerwagon and it's big, it drinks gas as bad as an H2, and well, it's a Dodge. We'd have an H2 but for the mileage thing and an H2 just doesn't make sense for what we need it for (we already have a Denali)

I'm sorry you're so cynical about the papers. This is the sales manager at the Hummer dealership. He's a good guy, I know him pretty well by now. Every time I've called or stopped by and asked about the V8, he's said "Not yet" "No word yet" "It's a rumor" He's been very much on the up and up with me and he was very excited to see me to tell me about this. He's not the kind of guy that wants to look foolish, so I believe him.

What's your motivation for being such a nay sayer guy? Is the V8 just something you abhor? Is it that you don't want it to happen? You don't believe it is true? Or maybe you think the early news of the V8 coming out will harm current sales and make people want to put off buying an H3 until the V8 comes out?

Yup, I like the hope thing. It makes my day to live hopefully. I buy three lottery tickets every week too. I think my odds of driving a V8 H3 will occur long before I win the lottery.
