I've been giving the H3 Alpha some deep consideration.

I would really like to see a front locker option with a rear auto locker like in the chevy trucks.

Patience is a virtue
The electronic locker is better, you push a button and it engages, the rear locker used on the trucks does require some slippage to engage. Irregardless, don't hold your breath for this one

yea, thats what I was thinking - move the push buttons to the front elec locker and use the same axle they are using with the auto lockers in the trucks now.

Just dreaming

Man I sure hope all yall cats wanting that H3 get one.. Cause it's gonna flood the market with a bunch of used H3's about the time my lease is due up and it's gonna give me some great dealing power on the actual residual value on mine..

I am sure the point he was making is that the H3 will rule in sheer numbers on the street. When I got mine, it was unique. Now, its like driving a Jeep as far as spotting one. Of course, that is the plan, I see my local dealer is adding on the Hummer specific building, when they get done, there will be a Hummer for everyone, lets just hope they dont embarass the line with a Jeep Liberty type of vehicle. I am loving my new H2, but if they slap that V8 in it, I may reconsider in a year or two.

Crash, my guess would be that by 09 you will see them all over used, on lots, auctions, just like any other vehicle. Sadly, the H3 with the i5 that everyone is buying now is the one I would expect to see most often traded in. That was the ONLY reason I dumped mine.

I bet by 09 the V8 will be the only engine option for the H3.

Well, pedictions are for gasoline to be $3 an hour this summer and by 09...???

Hope there is a direct injected turbo V-6 diesel in GM's near future......

Really, what a great idea.... (NOTE: 5.3L is set up for displacement on demand, aka, active fuel management.)
