Braking: was as usual (HUmmer has great Braking Systems)10 out of 10.

Engine Compartment was Clean and Mean. The Engine was not as PACKED in as I thought it would be.

Interior in my opinion could have been a bit more "HUmmer" more like the H2 is what I expected. The Badging was really the only changes.

All in all its a great truck and if you tow its even better now 6k cap. Great Truck but for the cost (NICELY EQUIPPED) you may as well get an H2 IMHO.

INFERNO ORANGE is the color, lol

Texas Red is off the scale

I just finished day 4 in my new 2008 H3 Lux. The 3.7L will do quite nicely for me. I haven't been off-road yet, but the power and giddyup seem OK to me. I'm glad I passed on the Alpha.

I'm waiting to check the mpg on my first tank.

Geez you guys crack me up.... I drive 143 miles a day round trip to and from work. I get 17.5 mpg observed in my 08 Alpha and I drove over 1200 miles during my first week of ownership. The day I bought it i drove it directly across the street from the dealership to a construction area and tried to get it stuck in a mud bog. This thing is a HUMMER, it's not a bmw or range rover. I never drove the I5 before i bought the Alpha but I'm an old guy who will always prefer V8 power over all others when he has the choice.
