I keep hearing this 6 speed talk. Not going to happen?

A feature that I like is the alarm system. If you lock the door with your remote the alarm is set and the only way to deactivate it is by pressing the unlock button on the remote. This means that if someone tries to use a car opening tool, a rocker pick, a key or even if they try and punch the lock out the alarm will still sound. This combined with the MRD ignition makes the H3 a challenge to steal. Still, I'm surprised that GM didn't choose to go with a transponder key in the US market. I'm willing to bet that any H3s sold in Europe will have a transponder based key system.

I like the transponder keys but damn, $80+ to get another key made really sucks

I can get you a better deal than that, but 80 bucks beats paying the 200 you'd have to cough up if you were to cheap to get a duplicate and lost your transponder key entirely.

You can also just get a mechanical key that will work in the doors and turn the ignition but won't start the engine for about $2. It makes a great hide a key, if someone finds it thet can't drive away with your vehicle because the transponder is missing.

Obviously though we won't have to worry about that with the H3.

Plus:
Tight turning radius
locker,creeper transfer,33's
ride quality

Minus

space between brake and tunnel,gas pedel is very tight. I dont think I could drive it with winter boots on.

Power seat adjustments on the side of the seat are hard to reach,,no room between armrest and seat

The front of the flares around the rear wheels catch alot of crap,,bugs,,chips,,mud,,etc

I would LOVE to see the 310 hp alum blk 5.3 V8 in it.

It sounds like they are starting out simple, but I think that over time more goodies will find their way into the baby Hummer.
I also think that it's not that it is under powered, but it is the low gearing that slows it down, after it is ment to be a climbing machine.

Would anyone want to see chrome(hahaha if not plastic chrome like door handles) or body color bumpers? Instead of plastic, these would have tobe after-market.
