Hummer H3 Alive and Well With Tweaks

Despite a tough run through high gas prices and a sour economy, and with a sale to a Chinese company pending, Hummer will produce a 2010 H3 and H3T. Both will arrive in dealerships by next month.

The vehicles will receive a couple of notable tweaks. First, they will have an available E85 Flex Fuel 5.3L V8 engine as an option. Rated at 300 horsepower, we wouldn’t exactly call this an attempt by Hummer to go “green” but the new ethanol-capable engine does offer a cheaper fuel choice (especially for those who live in ethanol-subsidized states in the Midwest).

Secondly, Hummer will offer three new colors for the 2010 model year: Red Rock Metallic, Silver Stone Metallic and Canyon Metallic.

The price for the H3 will remain the same for 2010 with an MSRP of $33,390, while H3T pricing starts at $30,195 (a $165 increase for those keeping track). Neither price includes a $780 destination charge.

Well, it badly needed the engine option.

Who buys this anymore, without feeling embarrassed?

I'd consider an H3 if the 5cyl came with the E85 option. Heck it gets about the same highway mpg as my van.

in the real world, the V8 actually gets better mpg's than the 5 cylinder.

that engine just needs to be taken behind the barn...

I'd be interested in knowing what the 8cyl gets for mileage. My friends 5cyl gets about 22 mpg highway. I thought the 8cyl on got 16-18. I know 3 people that have the 5cyl and they haven't had any problems or complaints about it.

4 speed automatic?
Are they serious?!?

Look tough for me..
Honestly I've never heard about Hummer in my country.

Ironically, maybe the Chinese will improve the quality and reliability!
