Replying to: tired_old_dave (Mar 08, 2007 8:15 am) Sure did! I ordered a Slate Blue H3 with production date after 3/1 to get the new placement for the window controls and the child safety locks. As it turned out, they had one in the same color being built with a sunroof that's arriving next week, so I took that one. I just learned this morning that sunroofs are FREE this month, so that's a bonus! Replies to this message: tired_old_dave (Mar 08, 2007 8:51 am)

#1172 of 1248 Window controls worth the wait? by ffo4kooch Mar 08, 2007 (3:41 pm)
Was going to make the purchase on an H3 soon, but noted the discussion on relocating window controls. Do you think the "mid-year" changes are worth waiting for? Also, are dealers out there moving at all from the MSRP or just giving the rebates? Edmonds shows the TMV at about $1200 under MSRP. Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: tidester (Mar 05, 2007 9:54 pm) You bet. We (I drove) drove an H3 automatic yesterday. The lack of quickness didn't bother me at all. I've driven hundreds of cars, starting in my twenties when I worked in Germany for a car dealer and up to the point when I quit as a Honda tech in the year 2000. Nothing impressed me like the H3 before, the incredible solidity of the truck is amazing. Our salesman wasn't really interested in showing us anything, he probably thought we couldn't afford it. My wife is very intimidated by its size and she wouldn't believe me when I said the H3 is 2 inches shorter than her Honda Accord. I plan to rent an H3 for a day or two, and maybe she will be willing to drive it then. I love the thing, and I'm thinking buying one just as a hobby car, keep it for the weekends, therefore gas mileage and other issues like reliability won't matter.

Replying to: extech2 (Mar 09, 2007 5:32 pm) Good report. Yes, feels more solid than any half ton or less. You're right someone always has more power and some don't know how to use what they have. Some are go fast straight ahead only. We've had to brake going uphill on a curving ramp in econo boxes because some bimmer driver or such couldn't use what they had.

Replying to: extech2 (Mar 09, 2007 5:32 pm) "Our salesman wasn't really interested in showing us anything, he probably thought we couldn't afford it."   Will you be a be back for this salesman? Did he look like a newbie? Was he having a bad day? He should have never given you that impression, no matter what. Sold chevies and hondas during one year, twenty years ago. Never bought a honda, test drove wagons and the minvan's first year but traded our only ever chevy (until the '04 malibu) for a previa. Maybe he/she will read this.   In blue jeans, when we were first married, looked at volvo's and mercedes' in dallas and we were treated with respect.

Replying to: tired_old_dave (Mar 09, 2007 7:24 pm) Our salesman was I think from a middle-eastern country and seemed to be thoroughly bored during our rather brief test drive. I might visit another dealer or rent the H3, we can rent one for $119 a day with 300 miles included. After the drive I told my wife that every American male between the age 13 and 96 has two fantasies: one is to drive a Hummer, the second is to take a bubble bath with Pamela Anderson. Ever since then I'm sleeping in the garage, but it isn't too bad, our two dogs keep me quite warm and our Toyota truck has a cozy bedliner.
#1178 of 1248 v8 talk again by tired_old_dave Mar 22, 2007 (7:18 am)
Another forum is up and running about the v8 and thinking a heavy 5.3, what about the 4x4 alum. 5.3, what about possibly a lot of 4.8's sitting around, what about rpo GT5 4.10 gears, is this platform really an Isuzu, is the tranny really good for much heavier towing duty, what about the driveline and more power, a 2wd alpha, no adventure package, - a second hummer and no bu in the garage? Waiting and being teased is just like a little one waiting for santa.
#1179 of 1248 V8 Fantasy for H3 by grandadchu Mar 23, 2007 (12:46 am)
Guys, Please forget the fantasy that H3 will come with an V8 engine. Who else would buy a H2 if GM makes H3 so attractive and so much lower in price? I already own a 2006 H3 so may be i can say something objectively. I do think GM had mis-priced the 2006 H3. It is not a generic SUV model, it is designed as a dream car which people puts in in their wish list. GM should have priced the H3 in the 40K's, a bit closer to their 60K's+ H2. A 30K H3 is a steal.
