V8 + 5-speed manual, anytime soon, if ever?

[Dave92270]

Just curious - what you guys think? Will GM offer H3 in V8 configuration with manual transmission, sort of like current H3 3.7L lineup, but with V8 as option (without Alpha trim) anytime soon?

I currently have base with 4-speed auto, and I should've definitely bought the adventure with 5-speed manual (I found out what I need half year after the purchase, oh well..) Anyway, it would be stupid for me trading now, but if the above mentioned V8 configuration would become available, I would probably go for it and take the loss on early trade-in. I don't want Alpha because I don't care for leather and other luxury stuff, plus current Alpha is only offered with the 4-speed auto which I don't want either.

So what's your opinion - any chance for non-Alpha, V8 powered/5-speed manual H3 in next 12 months or so?
