Comments on: Hummer H3T to list from $31,495 http://www.leftlanenews.com/hummer-h3t-to-list-from-31495.html Car news, reviews, and specs for the auto-industry Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:05:03 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: beatusmongous http://www.leftlanenews.com/hummer-h3t-to-list-from-31495.html/comment-page-1#comment-396136 beatusmongous Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:19:58 +0000 http://www.leftlanenews.com/?p=8059#comment-396136 I think the real point is not to trade in JUST to save gas. However, if you're going to trade because you need something new, or want something new, then consider something that gets better mileage. I think the real point is not to trade in JUST to save gas.

They probably did worse then Motley Fool's example of trading in a Suburban for a hybrd. It would take 7 years to make up the lost money on that trade in. I imagine RaineMan's friends will be behind financially on their trucks for a long time when they are only saving 5mpg.

In most cases the money someone looses on trading in a truck & buying a hybrid will take years to make up at $4/gallon. Trading in a old track for a new truck would probably take a decode to make up the savings of 5mpg.

The automotive world employs approximately one out of six or so Americans in the U.S.. If you think that doesn't affect the economy, then I really don't know what does. payton bird- I usually don't have many complaints for the Colorado, aside from no smaller engine sizes and lackluster options, but the suspension isn't entirely different. Adjusting some spring rates and other variables helps, but only in the confines of what the original Colorado was supposed to do. I would disagree that the H3 is better off-road than the Wrangler, the Wrangler has a large aftermarket and much easier to maneuver, but neither are no longer cheap to say the least. Comparing four door versions I suppose you could argue that. I would agree with you though that the H3 is a lot more comfortable, and feels a lot more modern. monte,ihustle- Please, tell your *attentive* audience what your trying to prove. We all need to have a good laugh, since you obviously have so much beef I'm guessing your both big men who slave all day. And hey, best of all your "wives" would be laughing too!

This thing isn't just a rebadged Colorado, they did a full Hummer-ized suspension on the H3 when it was built from the Colorado platform. The H3 is just as capable offroad as the Jeep Wrangler, and this is essentially the direct competitor to the upcoming Jeep Wrangler based pickup. BTW, even though the H3 is as capable as the Wrangler, it's about 10,000 times more comfortable and civilized. And a Wrangler ain't cheap, either.

And had they canceled it anyway, they would have lost the couple hundred million they spent, with no vehicle to sell to amortize those development costs.
