thought the same thing. when i was purchasing my h3 they had no more alphas or i would have bought one of those. i find that the regular h3 is a little underpowered. 4.2 would have been the way to go. i had an envoy xuv before i bought this and even found that that could have used a little more power.

I disagree. With the 3.5 in a 06 its got everything & saves some mpg over the v6 and v8!

Re: 3.7L 5 Cylinder vs.........
Why not a 5.0 HO or an 8 litre with a 4:11 rear, 6 on the floor, quad exhaust, flames, dice and fur...
do you want a drag car, a drive in restaurant cruiser or a HUMMER ...
make your mind up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so you think it has enough power? a 4L V6 would be perfect for it in my opinion.

Re: 3.7L 5 Cylinder vs.........
A V6 was in the works for the H3 in 2010 but that has all been shelved because of what GM is doing with the brand...
I personally like the I5, it gets the job done for what the truck was meant to do. It's not a race car, and it never was meant to be.
This reminds me, I watched the Aussie Top Gear on youtube yesterday, what a joke. They raced an H2 Limo around their track... What are these people smoking?

the 5 does get the job done, but sometimes i gotta floor the thing to get up a small hill.
