I see they've fixed the window control placement issue. No more contortionist moves to open the windows.

That's $666.66666666666666666666666 a cylinder!!!

The $666 question is, how much would H3 owners pay for the cast iron front diff alone!? My guess is that it very well may be cheaper to simply buy a new Alpha!

i really hope that the h3 alpha has more real off road stuff than what has been shown on the website. i mean, this is definitely a step in the right direction and i am certain that there are other new features not listed on the sneak peek.
how about on-the-fly tire pressure indicators and an inflation/deflation system?
how about a suspension set up that comes standard with 35"x12.5" tires and capable of handling 37's without a torsion adjustment?
how about a snorkel and deeper water fjording abilities?
what about some of the other great things that made the h1 alpha so unique?
i know the market is smaller for these types of items, but it would be great if they could be added as upgrades and still be covered under the overall vehicle warranty.
if they are going to produce an alpha, they should make an ALPHA!!! right?

The main improvements to the H1 that made it an Alpha were the engine and transmission. For the H3 its the engine and the front diff. A little bit of lift would be nice, maybe a front locker option. But come on, a snorkel, CTIS? Would you pay $60K for an H3?

Apparantly GM thinks we'd give our soul for it...

F5 said he THOUGHT. However, let me add from what I have heard, the Alpha package is a fully loaded package. Similar to the lux package, but with the engine.
Rumor has it, that is the only way to get the V8, but that is a RUMOR. Needless to say, I have no connections or friends in marketing.

I have a lot of questions myself, such as the chrome POS front brush guard, is that standard on the Alpha? Can I get a black one vs. the chrome bling?

Just too many questions right now that only marketing can answer.

However, I do have one that someone asked me and that is plug changes. After the plastic engine shield is removed, spark plug access is no problem. That shield makes it look like the engine is crammed in, but there is a lot of room between engine and body.

You also have to remember, what you are seeing is a SHOW Vehicle. My worry about the chrome brush guard may not be a problem, since this is a SHOW vehicle. I would guess, sometime around May, prices, standard options and available options will be released to the dealer. Maybe earlier...

I just want the part number for the front diff assembly..

I have no need for a V8 in the first place, unless it gets something to the tune of 30mpg.. You think that thing's gonna get you down a trail any faster..??

Nope, but it'll get you TO the trail faster! I'm just hoping the initial demand isn't that high(for my own selfish reasons!)
