Default Hummer H3 to get more powerful, V6 base engine

Just came across this morning...

The I5 will be out and a flex fuel capable 3.6L V6 will be in as the base engine of the H3. This is the same engine that is in the HUMME4 HX concept, as well as the Cadillac CTS. Also, a North American diesel H3 has been confirmed, but without a timeline - I'm thinking 2011 on the diesel, 2010 on the V6.

Nice! How it would've been nice if GM did it sooner!

Same here. With the gas prices rising almost every month, I'll be happy with a V6.

I'm not such a big fan of Diesel anymore, it's pushing $4 a gallon, almost a buck more than regular gas!

Yeah, I had read on a GM press release that the I5 would be discontinued at the end of 2010, but they did not release what the replacement would be. Guess I'll buy the H3T in 2011 with either the 3.6 or the diesel.

That engine in the H4, sounds like it's going to have plenty of power.
