it was revealed that GM is working on a way to stuff a V8 into an H3!
That would be great to have!

With a V8 the sales would be through the roof!
This reminds me of when the XJ (Cherokee) had the P.O.S V6 and they put the I 6 in it and everyone had to have one. I wonder how much more the V8 will add to the sticker price though, and are they going to have the DOD system as well.

And for the record....it would be great for a diesel or even a v6 in that truck, but more importantly, Fstop sure knows WAY more than he is letting on......I hate people who can actually keep secrets when they are told to !! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Who me? All I can say is wait until next year, then the year after and things will change. What those changes are, I can't say.
As for the current I-5, I have no problems with the power. A little slow off the line, but more than adequate to do my 80 mph on the highways.
As for fuel mileage, with my driving on the interstate at 80+ with the A/C on, and 18.01-18.85 mpg, I certainly have no complaints. If I had driven the actual posted speed limit, my mileage would have gone over what GM advertises; however, I would have been run over by a few semis.
