HUMMER will produce a performance series, called Alpha, which takes the brand's legendary capabilities to their ultimate extension. As with all things HUMMER, it starts with the original H1. Here's a preview:
The 2006 H1 Alpha, launching in early 2005, will feature GM's award-winning 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel, mated to the outstanding Allison 1000 transmission.
The Duramax will bring more power, improved emissions performance, and an unexpected fuel economy gain to the H1, along with adding to its already-unmatched off-road capabilities.

GM partner AM General Corp. will stop building the conventional H1 this fall, then build H1 Alpha’s exclusively starting early in 2005, said Hummer spokesman David Caldwell.

Oh great, now I'm going to have to worry about those big bastards blowing me away on the road too. 
A chip and some tranny upgrades REALLY wake those D-Max's up.

Just what that big bitch needed, next to halving the price of course. The H2 which is Hummer's bread and butter desperately needs this diesel as well, especially with fuel prices going through the roof.
