OMG!! I'm going to wear out my Cranial nerve X11 on these pics. She could "assimilate" me any time.

true, but your also talking about a blinged out.. optioned out H3. With a diesel, a base model with just the motor option would be around that....that would blow for alot of people.
Anotehr thing is that if they wanted to make the diesel or v8 an option and still offer the I5 then they would either have to put the same beefed up suspension/diffs that are needed for the new motors in the I5 trucks or make two different platforms.....neither of which I see GM wanting to do right now.

they would also need a different front diff, rear diff, completely different exhaust system and pipe routing (one manifold to two if they put in a V motor), completely different computer system, more than likely they would need a dual battery system, new intake system with a turbo would mean a whole new under hood layout, I'm not sure what transfer cases are used stock but if they couldn't handle the added torque/HP of a turbo diesel then that would have to get switched also. Maybe "platform" wasn't the correct word, but my point was that it wouldn't be a simple motor swap...it would be a whole different truck...and would have to be built on a different assembly line than what the I5's are built on....thats what I meant bya different platform.
