They sent me a card inthe mail.

Pull-ahead lease. They'll let you out of the last 6 months of your current H3 lease, and lease you a new H3 for $220 a month on a 24 mont6h lease (would extend my current lease by 18 months).

$220 a month is with $800 something down, + the usualfees, first month, etc, (total almost $2,000). My current lease was just fees, first month etc, up front ($1,200). Doing that again, the payment would be almost $270. That for my favorite H3 which is a Base with the chrome wheels, door handles and mirrors, splash guards, all-weather matts and an auto trans. (No leather of sunroof for me).

But I need something with more interior room, and I'd certainly like a nicer interior. Thinking about a Ford Edge, or really the Ford Flex. Haven't seen that in person yet though,...so I'm going to hang on to the current yellow H3 untill the lease runs out and check out some nicer cars. At $3.50 a gallon and rising,....I can understand GMs' desperation totry to movethe Hummer line-up. Of course the Edge only gets 3 mpg better mileage. No figures on the Flex yet.

 

Hopefully they won't put it in that crappy aluminum punkin.

 

Welcome to the board, Ken - I assume 'flattened' refers to the FourWheeler project H3?

 

Just wanted to say thanks to those of you who have shared your knowledge on the 2009 H3 models since that is what I am researching and planning on purchasing. Definitely motivates me to get to that point. One question, at one point I heard a rumor regarding two new colors for the H3 in 2009, any word on this or is this not valid?

 

Thanks Brian! Yes, you are correct.Flattened refers to the flat clear we appliedon our project H3 Alpha.

I've been reading this forum quite often over thelast few months and finally got withthe program and registered. Lots of good information here!

 

The rearview camera is already available. Mine has it. It's great since you can't see a thing when backing up.

 

Looks like 1 new H3 color, 1 new H2 color....

 

Thanks Brian, I am up the 35 in OKC so will most likely be giving you a holler closer to the time when I am able to pull the trigger on an '09 Alpha. When it can be released, would appreciate if you could lemme know the new color so I can get everything squared away prior to hollerin' at ya.

Have a good one bro.

Brad

 

Thanks for linking to the vid. Did the H3T have 33s and how did it do on the step that the red H3 is show just barely clearing?

 

Yes, the H3T had 33-inch tires. Thered H3 had35s.The H3T crawled up that step, and actually all the steps in Muleshoe Canyon,with no problem.
