Hummer H2 - A diesel-powered Alpha performance model could arrive in 2007.
Hummer H3 - The H3 is scheduled to get an Alpha model in 2007. It will be powered by either a Turbocharged I-5, V6, V8 or diesel engine.

Possible, but the H2 switches to the new GMT900 platform in '08, so I don't see why they would bring out an H2 diesel on the current platform (GMT800), unless they are going to go to the 900 a year early or maybe just to help generate some extra income, the diesel would be popular. It is not unheard of for manufacturers to bring out "special" editions before a model change.

I'd fell pretty "special" if I had a Duramax H2.

It will happen in 2007...late 2007, and it will be a 2008 new model!

General Motors has big plans for the smallest truck in its Hummer lineup.

GM intends to offer V-8 and diesel versions of the mid-sized H3 SUV.

Two sources inside GM say the automaker is in the early stages of preparing to offer an H3 with a 5.3-liter V-8.

"It's another couple of years out," said one source at GM, who asked to not be named.

Hummer will add a diesel engine to the H3 later, the source said.

The SUV comes with GM's Vortec 3500 3.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine, which delivers 220 hp. The automaker also will build a special-edition H2.

At the Dealer Business Conference in Las Vegas last week, GM executives told Hummer dealers that 150 special editions of the full-sized H2 will be built in the first quarter of next year. Those vehicles will offer more "bling" factor than the regular H2s, said Jacques Moore, of Moore Cadillac-Hummer-Saab-Subaru in Richmond, Va.


The special editions will feature at least two new colors: Pacific Blue and Fusion Orange, Moore said.

He said Hummer also vowed to remedy blind spots in the H2 by installing rear-view cameras in the special-edition models.

I just picked up an 06 H2 for a 24 hour test drive, while I was there I asked the sales manager about an H2 diesel He said that he just came back from "Hummer School" and they told him that an H2 diesel would "never happen".

Don't get me wrong; I rarely believe a word that the sales guys tell me, most of them seem to be entirely out of the loop.

[MovinH2]

Well if it does come out I'll buy one for sure.

Now you can go back and bitch slap the pole smoker.

I have heard rumours of A diesel powered H-2, but likely would not be the D-MAX currently used in the trucks, but A new engine in development. Also the truck line will be dropping the 6.0l in exchange for A new 6.2l gas engine(if memory serves me) not sure if the H-2 will see the new engine or continue with the 6.0l. Time will tell.

Never is a strong word to use in the car biz. But if he's talking about the D-max in it's current form he is correct.

It probably would be the upcoming 6.6L 360hp 650lb/ft Duramax.

Humtech, would that 6.2L gasser be the same as the new Escalade engine?

[InfantryWS6]

Maybe it will be this engine

GLOBAL DIESEL OFFENSIVE.

Separately, the trade publication also reported that GM is planning a global diesel offensive starting in 2008 that would include launching new diesel engines in the United States, where the technology has found few fans compared to Europe.

"We are developing right now two highly modern diesel motors that won't just fulfil the Euro-5 emission standards, but (also) the more stringent Bin-5 regulations in the USA," an unidentified GM manager told Automobilwoche.

It plans to introduce a 2.9 liter V6 and a 4.5 liter V8 that will gradually be used in almost all sport utility vehicles, pick-ups and large sedans in all GM brands and all markets.
