thats where your way wrong, the current H3 gets between 10.8 and 11.2 on the 0-60MPH and the H3 Alpha does 0-60 MPH in 8.2 seconds, if you ask me 3 seconds is a significant difference in 0-60

Ah, so I guess the other guy was mistaken. From what im thinking now, if theres hardly any effect on gas milage, a big effect on acceleration, wouldnt it be worth it to spend the extra few thousand to get the V8? Any cons you guys notice? |

Stop guessing and thinking. Start test-driving! |

Re: MPG differences between H3/Alpha?
Going this weekend to try the base against alpha! I wish GM was still doing that overnight test drive, I would really like to see how they both perform under my daily routine! |

Re: MPG differences between H3/Alpha?
Just go with a supercharged H2 if you want power. I am getting consistent 11 to 13 mpg's on the highway\
