1SD equipment groups sounds pretty hot. Good engine upgrade, too.

I know this might be detrimental to HUMMER's image, but they should offer a road-oriented H3, with larger wheels, lower profile tires, lower suspension, and maybe 2WD. It's not like the majority of H3 buyers are keen off-roaders; no, they would benefit more from better fuel economy and economy, and still be able to drive to Mammoth in the winter or whatever.

but that's defiling the brand, that's like Jeep introducing the road oriented Compass. It dillutes the banrd's image and what it stands for.

more power is better but its still not enough. Needs another 40+hp and torque and 6 speed auto. Still, they might be able to beat a milk truck now!

Better but not good enough!

When will the H3 Alpha be out?

Just wait there is a suprise for the H3 coming out, soon. A lot of people will be happy(engine-wise)!! 6 months from now or sooner.

And if it has "AFM" then it'll get good fuel economy numbers too!

imagine the possibilities!

What about the DualMode Hybrid in the Tahoe?

i think someone said there isn't enough room in the platform for the current H3, along with Colorado & Canyon, to fit all the hybrid components in?

They fit within the 6 speed auto's case and that means they fit just fine in the 4 speed's place. Just need to find a hiding spot for the batteries.

They could use the BAS in the Vue GreenLine mated with the 3.7 I5.

That is exactly what they need to do!
