2008 Hummer H3 Alpha
With fuel prices steadily rising across America throughout 2007, many consumers thought spiraling fuel costs would be the death knell of big Hummer SUVs. However, the strong presence of these go-anywhere vehicles has kept interest alive enough for the company to introduce a new version of the H3 and a restyled H2 for the 2008 model year. The H3 Alpha is at the top of the H3 lineup, offering higher performance as well as increased luxury (there is NO increased luxury that cannot be ordered on any other H3. Unless they are saying the Alpha embroidery and emblems are increased luxury). The added performance is courtesy of a 5.3-liter V8 engine producing 300 horsepower (not confirmed by SAE tests...yet, but last I read it will most likely be around 292 hp), which gives the Alpha a towing capacity of 6,000 pounds—a 33 percent increase over the standard H3. A Chrome Appearance package, 16-inch chrome wheels, a 4.10 rear axle ratio and special Alpha identification, including a prominent tailgate badge, horn pad badge and embroidered front headrests with the “Alpha†insignia also help differentiate this special H3.
That piece on the lower front bumper is a Federal Requirement. It makes it harder to run over top of a smaller vehicle if you forget to stop.

i agree it has been beat to death(of false predictions) i read all the early crap.
so what do you guys think......get the v-8 or do more research on getting a turbo or superchager for mine?
i don't think i would trade mine if i couldn't get the same color.
