RE: new for 08 on....
I went to the Dealer today to check out another SUV
The H3x is nice but I have some issues with it visability for 1.
Found a nice looking Porsche Cayenne there took it for a spin. Discoverd I really like my little Hummer.
That 3.7 5 Cylinder motor has a good amount of power. It feels like it has two powerbands one from 2000RPM another around 4500.
Must be that variable valve timming.
I own and have owned all kinds of Sports cars but I have to say the Hummer H3x isn't lacking in power.
Compared to the base Porsche Cayenne I decided to keep the H3.

I have the hat trick updates on my 07 H3 and it performs very well. I don't tow anything so that's not an issue.
I do admire the torque and HP of the Alpha but honestly, the I-5 has 242HP, the V-8 has 292HP???WTF??? AM I missing something here? That doesn't seem like a robust HP increase, I know the torque is much better but HP increase is rather weak IMO. I think I may be close to that HP rating with the K&N, PCM and Magnaflow Exhaust..
One thing I would really like that the 08 has is the new styled doors, the armrest slants up in the front and that's where they put the window controllers. I don't like where they are now, WAY TOO FAR BACK for my liking but it's not a deal breaker. Wonder if I could get my doors upgraded[X(]

RE: new for 08 on....
exactly ...i would like the v8 just for the fact thier are so many parts out their for the 5.3
and how cool would it be w/ a catback. the inline 5 can't come close to the sound of a v8.
thanks for your thoughts.
