Nice...so glad I leased my 06....oh yea it will be u the end of 08...what timing!!

 

I was going to trade my 06 for a 07. Thinking of waiting for the Alpha H3. GM emailed me saying they don't know what kinda of gas mileage the Alpha gets. BS... lol come on. Anyone have a clue what kind of gas mileage it gets? Is it true that it starts at $49,000.00? if it is rated at 12mpg and its 50k i think I will get a 07.

 

Gas mileage should be the same or better, and no clue on pricing. They wouldn't price it so close to the H2 (although the H2s price is going up in 08)...so 49,000 sounds very VERY high to me.

 

I agree with you about one thing Hummer Guy... Fuel milage would stay the same If not alot better IMO!!! As for the price, I do believe It will be In the $60,000+ range here In Canada anyway.Our local HUMMER Stealership has aloadedH3x for $58,135 CDN. So I can't see the Introductory Alpha going for a just couple of grand more than the H3x especialy with It having a V8 right now.
Although I can see the price of all I5's drop by at least $5,000 across the board, In order to keep the Alpha's price tag attractive to I would hope $60,000 or less In the following years to come. I even see the H2's phasing out due to a huge drop In sales, future fuel costs,Gov pressure on taxing Large SUV's, and the popularity of the H3's new V8 Engine!!! (I hopeall you H2 guys don't hate me for saying this... I'm just speculating here!!!) Heck... I even see the I5's gone and being replaced with a V6 as a base model, V8 standard for Adv Pckg, and the H3x replaced with the Alpha Badge.which would drasticly bring down the value of older H3's making them very hard to sell or trade In the future.....

Hmmmmm...... Anybody wanna buy a loaded 06 H3??? LoL

Just my 2 Cents folks

 

Oh real nice, you sure this isn't HUMMERDOOMED![sm=bangbang.gif]

 

Ha Ha Ha... Funny Bob... You're a real Joker!!!!

 

[sm=roll.gif]Thats it, I'm tradin' my H3 in on a Rav 4, while it's still worth something!

 

So...its just as an Alpha? That sucks.

Luxury? Chrome? 4.1? Its basically an H3x with a V8...So the sticker will be what...probably $47,500k or over..maybe even $50k if you splurge on the Nav and backup cam like they say it has? Yikes.

What about if you want to go off road more than a few times? Add a few grand for the locking diff and t-case upgrade...then strip off all the chrome packages and add brush guard...

No thanks. I'd rather takethe I-5 and throw $10k of parts at it and still have enough money left over to afford a years worth of gas.

Why would they make it a single package with the engine? Why not make it just an engine option? In my opinion, they are starting to cater too much to the soccer moms and the off road is starting to become just heritage and not capability. I was hoping the H3 Alpha would be something like a V8 with full skid plates, front/rear locking diffs, NO chrome, big lights galore,andtied in with that "Tactical Edition"...its like they appeased the off roaders at first to avoid the criticism, and now they are going back to bring out 10 versions of the chromed out "Mirrored Edition"

 

I'm with ya Ghost..I didn't realize either till just now what the Alpha V8 will be..I'm sure they may make it in other options with the V8..they have to..it will be model suicide otherwise.

 

if that the case i buy a H2sut
