Replying to: ran5 (Feb 22, 2007 5:45 am) Don't remember ran5 at any of the crd sites. v8 is from all the hummer sites. The biggest problem is that the h3 was designed for off roading (4.56 gears). Guessing that with a vehicle that feels like home once you sit in it, it's success surprised the general?. Some time back I think I guessed that they would lower (and soften?) the vehicle to appeal to women the way the liberty appealed to women.   I have no inside track. I'm guessing if we see the v8, it will be lowered and no adventure package but with maybe better gearing for highway performance and highway mileage. That's all better_half and most people need. Don't think blue beauty will ever sport rock rails.   H3 fits nicely in the garage and a great turning radius. I like a simple engine. I6 is a nice engine but h3 got the I5. Our v6 malibu is simple under the hood. I like to see the ground as well as a motor when I lift a hood. I like push rods that just lope along. I like the stroke to be bigger than the bore...

#13 of 14 2008 H3 with a V8 by 4burb May 03, 2007 (7:13 am)
Just the messenger here but according to my Car and Driver magazine that came this week the 2008 H3 Alpha edition will come with a version of GMs 5.3 V8. The Alpha edition is Hummer's performance line according to the article and in this case should have about 275 HP. Also according to the article should be arriving this summer.
