GM should, at least, have a durable and reliable 5 speed already in the H3.

If you haven't experienced it, you can't imagine the control from a triptonic style 6 speed, that also allows you to shift manually, gives you, especially in low range.....!!!! H2 owners will soon find out.

I'm not sure if simply the addition of a V-8 to the H3 is enough to get me to jump for one.

It's called marketing. Instead of starting with a great driveline, they do it in steps. This makes a desire to upgrade every few years or so. First the I5, then a bump in HP, then a V8, then an upgraded transmission, etc...
