now, I'm really torn as to what to do... should I wait for the 2007?? Ugh...

its a tough choice , personaly im very happy with the 06 . 20 more ponies would be nice but not necessary for offroading . the dealers will probably drop the price considerably when the 07 hits the showrooms . I sure am glad i got the green

Driven the 3.7L and you can notice some more HP, but not necessarily that much of an improvement, in my opinion.
I'm glad I didn't wait, and like Neo, not sure if the extra 22 HP will help off-roading that much, or add to local driving.

I think the Green color is too "Military" and they are trying to stay away from that. And they're replacing it with a "Bling H3" model! .......well, not really a replacement but that's where they're heading to.......a Pimp mobile.

[NEOCON1]

it will be the BLING3X!!!

[mcaussade9]

As much as I don't want to, I think I might wait... I almost wish I never knew about the changes! lol

Nice concise look at the changes for 2007. But the little bit of extra horsepower is hardly worth waiting for.

Not positive about the rest of the world but I can guess seeing how they are axing green and blue..they are not top sellers..I know here at our dealer they will not even think about getting a green one in..I am working on buying a green one and basicly have to sign papers before they will get one here..

Also you could put a K&N filter and exhaust on to make up the difference right now. I drive mine in very rural NW Montana and the power is fine for me. If I lived in a big city though, I might add more power. I am even going to tow my snowmobiles, but I have a super lite aluminum trailer.

The 2007 H3x is an "option" right. I was waiting for a 2007, but I don't want a bling machine.

Pretty soon. Just ordered my '06 (weekend before last) and the dealer asked if I wanted to hold off a couple weeks to order an '07.

No idea there ... you'd have to ask HoKC, Hummer Guy or one of the others in the know on the site. I think I've read the timeline in another thread on here I'll put up the link if I find it.
